Puttenham’s signature hole is a relatively short par 4. But by no means easy! A 150yd+ carry over the pit, up a hill – and, if necessary, over the emblem Oak tree - is quite daunting for the first tee-shot of the day. And if you happen to open with a big [right-hand] slice, the Puttenham cemetery to the right of the slope can become a graveyard for your ball, as it’s out-of-bounds!

If you manage to overcome these obstacles, the 2nd shot is much easier into a very large green. However, the green itself is not easy with deceptive undulations and a ridge towards the back of the green. On medal days, the pin is usually placed at the back of the green and any short approach shot will leave a tricky putt up the ridge.

An added difficulty is the size of the flag-stick! It’s much longer than usual sticks so that it can be seen from the tee, but its height can impact your depth perception, and many shots to the hole are left short! Beware!

No bunkers on this hole.
