[edit] Holes

Hole 6, "The Beast", with daunting drainage ditch visible in the foreground

The first hole, the second-shortest on the course, has no standard hazards, however, a sliced shot can land in the car park or a hooked shot can land in the shrubbery and trees to the left, which also protects the left hand side of the green
Shortening in the past few years has made the green more reachable for high-handicappers, a raised verge at the back caring for any over-hit irons, though the tall trees to the left are stiff punishment for any hooked tee-shots
The shortest hole in Leeds? A full blooded lob-wedge or short sand-wedge to a rounded green leaves a good chance for a birdie for those with a consistent short-game length
Another good birdie chance. A drawn long-iron or fairway-wood straight over the ridge should put you within pitching distance of the green
A mid iron to a deceptively distant and elevated green, however a poorly shaped and maintained bunker is unseen from the tee, which will catch a slightly pulled tee-shot
A daunting drainage ditch will see to any topped drives and ridges to the left and right mean a good length and shape are required to hit and stay on the fairway. A damaged front portion of the green encourages a lofted second or third shot and an inconsistent run on the green can lead to high scoring
Those daring to take driver risk the drainage ditch to the right and a sunken tree to left, which the fairway camber leads to. Otherwise the safest line to the green is a long iron to the right of the fairway
Down-sloping ridges surrounding and swampish rough to the front of the green mean that a lofted iron is the only direct route to the green
A bunker to the left and friendly ridges to the right mean the safest line is surely to the right, those shooting the green will be left with a rewarding stroll with the bar just yards away
