Lobden Golf Club
Founded 17th May 1888

Hole:
9th & 18thAll golf courses have one hole that can provide an endless
test of clubbing ability. Even from the 9th, the forward tee,
the club selection can vary enormously, being only a wedge when
the wind is behind up to a lofted wooden club when being played
directly into a strong wind.
The hole is played entirely up hill therefore do not be fooled
by the yardages on the score card. A steep fall away onto the
hill side awaits the errant shot played to the right, a bunker
will catch the short shot, and the club house door the over hit
ball. The bail out zone is to the left leaving a put or chip
down onto the green, but you will need to experience in person
the reason why such a modest length par 3 should need a safe
route!

The 18th, in particular, does not readily yield too may birdies,
treat this closing hole with the respect it deserves, otherwise
your medal round is likely to come to serious grief.
