Get ready for an immersive hole by hole tour of Portsmouth Golf Course. Strap yourself in and enjoy the ride!
Hole 1
Par 4 | 308 yards
A gentle Par 4 to start, measuring around 300 yards. A shot onto the upper tier will reveal the green and require a short iron approach.
For those brave enough a good drive could get very close to the green!
Hole 2
Par 4 | 372 yards
A great Par 4 on the spine of Portsdown Hill. The 2nd reveals spectacular views over the Solent to the left of the hole and requires an accurate tee shot to avoid trouble left and right.
Par is a very good score here!
Hole 3
Par 3 | 148 yards
The shortest hole on the golf course. The 3rd requires an accurate tee shot to a green protected by three bunkers.
Hole 5
Par 3 | 168 yards
A challenging Par 3 that needs accuracy. Similar to the 4th hole, allow for the slope to the right of the hole.
Going left of the green will leave a challenging next shot!
Hole 6
Par 4 | 449 yards
Our signature Stroke Index 1 hole. A dramatic elevated view from the tee, to the fairway that dog legs to the right.
A solid tee shot is required here to put you in a premium position for your next shot.
Hole 7
Par 4 | 405 yards
The 7th is a straight, uphill Par 4. Two or three good hits are required here to reach the green on this testing hole.
Hole 8
Par 4 | 329 yards
The 8th is a downhill, dog leg Par 4 sloping to the right. Favour the left side of the fairway here to allow for the slope to take your ball towards the green.
A good tee shot will leave a short iron in to a well protected green.
Hole 9
Par 5 | 514 yards
A testing Par 5 that slopes left to right for the duration of the hole. Keeping the ball to the left side of the fairway will eliminate the trouble down the right side.
Par is a great score here.
Hole 10
Par 4 | 429 yards
The back nine starts with a long Par 4 that dog legs gently from left to right.
Two good hits are required here to reach the green which is protected by bunkers short of the green to the right.
Hole 11
Par 3 | 183 yards
A challenging Par 3 that needs an accurate tee shot. Missing the green either left or right will leave a very tricky up and down.
Hole 12
Par 5 | 480 yards
A sweeping Par 5 that dog legs to the right. Three good shots are required here to reach the green although the bigger hitters may be able to reach in two.
Hole 13
Par 5 | 480 yards
The 13th has a copse of trees in the middle of the fairway. The safe way to play the hole will be to hit your tee shot to the right of the copse, to a fairway that feeds down towards the green.
With the right wind conditions, and a good hit the bigger hitter can potentially clear the copse leaving a shorter iron in.
Hole 14
Par 3 | 162 yards
The 14th requires an accurate tee shot to a green that is slightly higher than the tee box.
The slight elevation may need an extra club to ensure the putting surface is hit. Avoid going left on this hole !
Hole 15
Par 4 | 441 yards
Similar to our 4th hole, the 15th has a fairway that slopes from right to left. Again, favour the right side of the fairway to allow for the slope.
A good tee shot will still require a good 2nd shot to this elevated green.
Hole 16
Par 3 | 173 yards
This downhill Par 3 leads you back towards the clubhouse. The green is well protected by bunkers.
Make sure you select the right club here as distance control is important.
Hole 17
Par 4 | 441 yards
A testing short Par 4 that has a small pond at the base of the slope. A good tee shot will carry this and leave a shot of less than 150 yds to the green.
The pond tends to be dry in the summer months but still provides a hazard that needs to be navigated. A par here is a good score.
Hole 18
Par 4 | 376 yards
The first half of this hole is tree lined and requires an accurate tee shot to hit the fairway. The hole dog legs to the right so a tee shot shaped this way will make the hole play a little shorter. A well protected green awaits which is overlooked by the clubhouse terrace.
A well-earned refreshment awaits in our clubhouse once the final putt has been sunk!
