Gare - A glorious Par 4 with large sand dunes in view throughout the hole. Suprisingly there's only one greenside bunker on this tricky hole.

Chapel Open - A true 90 degree dog-leg to the right makes for a precarious drive on the super Par 5. Beware of the two bunkers lurking down the left of the fairway and short of the green.

Beach - The elevated tee seems to make the fairway on the straight Par 4 seems much narrower than it is. The green is a bit like an upturned saucer and difficult to hold.

Hole Description
Snag - The signature hole at Seaton Carew has a fairway that is off-set to both the tee and the green, the latter of which is two-tiered and raised about 8 feet. Par here is always a blessing.

Always think where you would like to play your 3rd shot from.

Hole Description
Bill Hector - Just because there are no bunkers on this closing hole desn't mean it's going to be an easy stroll to the clubhouse. Large mounds in the fairway can kick even the best shot towards trouble.
Pro's Tip
Aim down the left-hand side of the fairway off the tee.
