COURSE TOUR Saltford Golf Course has become one of Bristol & Bath finest golf courses, providing an excellent challenge to golfers of all abilities at any time of the year. The course is always in first class condition and rarely closes during the winter months, when we continue to use the main greens whenever possible.

Our PGA Pro Darren Read is here to give you the hole-by-hole tour and a few tips to help you conquer our Par 73, 6398 yard course.

Hole 1 – Par 5, 531 yards This hole throws you in at the deep end as a tough par 5 sets you on your way. To get your round off to a good start it is best to hug the left hand side on this left to right dogleg to avoid the out of bounds area on the right. This approach gives you more options to attempt to find the green with your second shot.

Hole 2 – Par 3, 168 yards Bunkers on the left and the right guard the long and narrow green so take care from the tee because an inaccurate pitch could land your ball in trouble.

Hole 3 – Par 4, 344 yards This short par 4 slopes from left to right and can be tough for anyone who attempts the green in one. Any balls that come up short may be punished by the deep bunker on the front right of the green. A short shot left of the oak tree only leaves a short approach and a good birdie opportunity.

Hole 4 – Par 4, 423 yards This dead straight hole is the highest point on the course. The fairway rolls away to the right and the short rough on the left can leave you in trouble. Two well-placed shots can set you up well but a par on this hole will feel like a victory.

www.saltfordgolfclub.co.uk | 11

COURSE TOUR

CONTINUED

Hole 5 – Par 5, 571 yards This is a hole for the big hitters, avoid the left hand side which is covered in woodland and be sure to take care with your second shot. There is a chance to reach the hole in two but short hitters may want to pitch up short before attempting to reach the green.

Hole 6 – Par 4, 442 yards There is no room for error on this tricky par 4. Favouring the left hand side is your best chance of reaching the green in two as the hole opens up after the poplars end.

Hole 7 – Par 4, 346 yards A right to left dog leg par 4 that goes downhill, this hole is relatively straight forward but you have to be wary of the two bunkers on the left of the fairway. An iron from off the tee leaves you a simple shot to the green.

12 | www.saltfordgolfclub.co.uk

Hole 8 – par 4, 453 yards Everything runs to the left on this long par 4 and the trees are hard to avoid. The fun keeps going when you reach the two tiered green and leaving the ball long could take away any chance of making par.

Halfway House The natural stone-built Halfway House behind the 8th Green provides delicious hot and cold snacks all the year round, perfect to pick up a bacon roll or cup of tea before starting the second half of your round.

Toilet facilities are also located here.

Hole 9 –Par 3, 165 yards This hole has a very narrow approach and is surrounded by bunkers.

To make things even trickier shots normally have to be taken into the prevailing winds. If you’re going to miss the green here it is best to miss to the left.

Hole 10 – Par 4, 364 yards The tee shot is the key to success on this tricky par 4. The green may look tempting but beware as the severe back to front slope makes it the most difficult two putt on the course.

Hole 13 – Par 4, 423 yards A tight fairway makes for a tricky hole, well placed trees also catch wayward shots. A three tier green makes putting tough and as with many of our holes a par should be considered a great result.

Hole 11 – Par 3, 154 yards One of the most picturesque holes on the course; a sloping green surrounded by bunkers leaves little room for error and only a well-placed shot to the centre of the green will give you any hope of a birdie.

Hole 14 – Par 5, 476 yards Out of bounds on the right and a line of trees on the left means that only a straight shot down the fairway will see you in a good position for your iron shot. Longer hitters may be tempted to go for the green in two but bunkers short of the green await so take care.

Hole 12 – Par 4, 340 yards This short par 4 over the valley offers up stunning views of Bath and Kelston. It is one the long hitters relish trying to sink in two but the greenside bunkers punish those who aren’t accurate. Brave golfers will often be rewarded.

www.saltfordgolfclub.co.uk | 13

COURSE TOUR

CONTINUED

Hole 15 – par 4, 298 yards The wind usually plays a factor on the shortest par 4 on the course.

Many hidden undulations can catch visitors out but it is a feature that our members have grown accustomed to. Panoramic views off Bath can be enjoyed as you watch your ball fly off the tee.

Hole 16 – Par 4, 385 yards It’s back across the valley for the 16th and a tough par 4 which can be deceptively long. Avoiding the bank on the right is your best chance of making the green in two.

14 | www.saltfordgolfclub.co.uk

Hole 17 – Par 3, 156 yards This is our signature hole; a drop hole par 3 with a lake fed stream and deep bunker protecting the green, it is truly a sight to behold. Aim for the back of the green to be safe or the hazards could claim your ball.

Hole 18 – Par 4, 363 yards A tight drive through an avenue of trees gets you on your way for the final hole. With dense woodland on the left and an out of bounds area on the right there can be no margin for error. Once the tee shot is away a relatively simple second should see you to the green. With the testing course over breathe a sigh of relief and go and enjoy a drink in the clubhouse.

Dry Stone Walls When we discovered that we had an ancient Parish Boundary Wall at the side of one of our Tees which was really just a heap of rubble; several members including a retired builder decided to have a go at rebuilding it

The commitment of our members to take up this challenge and help rebuild a part of the club that is so significantly tied to our history, shows the passion our members hold for the club. This is something that makes us incredibly proud.

Their enthusiasm and success was such that the following year they rebuilt several dry stone walls, and this year will see the completion of the final one.

Juniors We have a comprehensive Child Protection Policy and hold the “high-achievers” award from GolfMark. We are an extremely “junior friendly” club where we fully support all our juniors and their wellbeing is paramount. Saltford was the first Somerset club to gain the Golfmark Award.

Junior members have a full diary of events each season but our juniors are free to pick and choose which ones they want to play. These events include fortnightly club nights (Sunday evenings) through the main playing season, competitions both at Saltford and away on other courses, league matches against other clubs (home and away) and a golf tour each year in the summer.

Under the guidance of our three teaching professionals (one of whom is an England coach), junior coaching is taken very seriously at Saltford and

this takes place on many levels from club night coaching for the absolute beginner (where clubs etc. are available to loan) to coaching by the county for the better players. Whatever the ability level of the junior, there is a suitable coaching scheme at Saltford.

Our juniors have just completed their most successful season for many years by winning the Bristol and District Junior League (without losing a game) and finishing 4th (out of 30 counties) in the England Golf Junior Champion Club finals at Woodhall Spa. With junior membership fees starting at well under £1 per week and preused half sets of clubs (adequate for the new starter) being available at very reasonable prices, golf is not an expensive game to take up and we would encourage you to give golf a try.
