Dear GCA,
Keeping up with the Welsh front for an Open! Here is a quick sketch layout for a new 18 hole course utilising some of the holes on the back nine at Pyle and Kenfig.
Here is a brief explanation for each hole
Hole 1 - existing hole 11
Hole 2 - existing hole 12
Hole 3 - existing hole 13
Hole 4 - new hole utilising existing dunes
Hole 5 - new hole
Hole 6 - existing hole 14
Hole 7 - new short hole
Hole 8 - new hole utilising part of the 'A' holes
Hole 9 - one of existing 'A' holes
Hole 10 - one of existing 'A' holes
Hole 11 - new hole utilising part of the 'A' holes
Hole 12 - existing hole 15
Hole 13 - new hole
Hole 14 - new hole - with large dune bunker
Hole 15 - new hole utilising dunes
Hole 16 - new short par 4
Hole 17 - existing hole 16 with new tees
Hole 18 - existing hole 17 - fairway moved left to give breathing space for other holes
There is a proposed new clubhouse and the current 10th and 18th holes being converted into a driving range/practice area for members but it is used as a Tented Village for the Open.
The existing front nine would be used as a practice area. With the new clubhouse location the existing front nine would be a nine holer starting from the existing 2nd tee and finishing on the 1st green.
Cheers
Ben
