Cannon Hill – Hole 6

A long par four where the second shot is played from the top of cannon hill to the green in the low lying ground below. In calm conditions, the longer hitter is faced with the choice of attempting the long drive, positioned to the right of the marker post, in order to clear the brow of the hill and leave a much shorter approach shot, or playing the safer positional tee shot to the top of the hill to leave a long iron approach to the green. Bunkers also await the long drive at the base of the hill, so an element of luck is needed if the long drive is attempted. The green is well guarded by bunkers and an approach shot should err to the right for safety, as a shot pulled left and slightly long can find its way into the nearby River Irvine.

 6th Hole Camera Access

The 6th hole can involve a blind tee or approach shot over the hill onto a lower plateau. Players from the game in front or ones playing the 7th hole may still be in the vicinity of the 6th fairway landing area, which could result in a risk of injury.  As such, we have installed a camera behind the green to allow you to check if the fairway is clear, and is safe for you to play.
