When Downs Farm was purchased, James Braid was asked to design the new course. This hole was inspired by his design philosophy and principles
Stroke index 1 and boy, what a Par 4 awaits. Nothing but a long drive down the left side of the fairway will leave you with a chance of reaching the elevated green in regulation. A 3 shot hole for most with an approach shot to a very narrow green amongst the valley. A par 4 here and you have beaten the field on most days. A tricky putt awaits.
