THE PLAYERS CLUB - Codrington Course
« on: October 11, 2009, 01:45:18 PM »
Designer – Adrian Stiff (2002)

Following on from my trip to the Players Club and helping Adi to put up a set of pics of the main Codrington Course. It has been used as a venue for the Europro Tour – 3rd level tier below the main European Tour and the Challenge Tour. Like the new Stranahan Course this course was built on a landfill site. 


Aerial view of Codrington Course – if you want closer inspection type in BS37 6RZ in Google Maps or Earth


Hole 1 – Downhill long par 4, slight dogleg right



Hole 1 – view from tee



Hole 1 – view to front of green with pond to the right



Hole 2 – Long par 3 (Original 2nd Hole has become 17th Hole on Stranahan Course. The new 2nd is from a tee near the 1st hole to the old 3rd green)



Hole 2 – image of green – gorse gives it a linsky feel



Hole 3 – Medium/Long par 4, slight dogleg left – the signature hole at the Players Club – a Pete Dye style hole with railway sleepers fronting the large lake



Hole 3 – view from tee



Hole 3 – view from rear of green showing how expansive this watery grave is!



Hole 3 – a closer view to the green – Adi has plans to remove the railway sleepers and path fronting the green to create a layup area to make the hole fairer and easier for the average golfer.



Hole 4 – Medium par 3 on site boundary – a 15ft raised elevation from the field next door!



Hole 4 – view from tee
