PGA Golf Course | Bowood | Hotel & Resort in Wiltshire

Hole 1 – Golden Gates

Par 4

A straight 400-yard gem. Favour the left side of the fairway as it slopes towards the right. Bunkers placed left and right of the fairway may catch out the longer hitter. More trouble beckons with two bunkers guarding the entry to your approach shot.

Choose your clubs wisely to ensure safety to the green for a secure par.

White: 402 yards
Yellow: 397 yards
Purple: 388 yards

Hole 3 – Shelburne’s Challenge

Par 5

Drive to the left of the fairway to avoid the water hazard, but beware, the fairway slopes towards the water. Take an extra club for your approach; the hole plays uphill, and two sets of bunkers await.

Black: 568 yards
White: 533 yards
Yellow: 500 yards
Purple: 488 yards

Hole 5 – Lansdowne Monument

Par 4

A straight drive between the bunkers leaves a short second shot to a large double green. The only double green on the course slopes from back to front. Beware of the pace, as the ball will run out more than you think.

Black: 400 yards
White: 360 yards
Yellow: 343 yards
Purple: 323 yards

Hole 7 – Clanmaurice

Par 4

Drive down the right side of the fairway bunkers, setting up a second shot to a tricky green well-guarded by bunkers. The green slopes from back to front. Beware the speed, as it is faster than you think.

Black: 423 yards
White: 402 yards
Yellow: 383 yards
Purple: 363 yards

Hole 8 – Queenwood

Par 4

Bowood’s signature hole, featuring a sharp dogleg with water guarding the left side. Long hitters beware of the water hazard over the trees. Shorter hitters will face a long second shot to a small two-tier green.

Black: 475 yards
White: 435 yards
Yellow: 398 yards
Purple: 352 yards

Hole 9 – Buzzard’s Spiral

Par 4

A well-placed tee shot leaves a mid to short iron into the green. Longer hitters may wish to hit over the right bunker, leaving a short approach to the flag. Bunkers on either side of the green can catch anything offline.

Black: 397 yards
White: 379 yards
Yellow: 370 yards
Purple: 356 yards

Hole 10 – Deer Mead

Par 5

A long par 5 where the target line for most is just left of the right-hand bunker. Long hitters may carry the bunker on the left, leaving a fairway wood to lay up or attack the green in two. Two bunkers guard the green.

Black: 582 yards
White: 577 yards
Yellow: 564 yards
Purple: 454 yards

Hole 11 – Brick Kiln

Par 4

The brave may take on the tallest tree with a driver on this short dogleg. Others should aim at the corner, avoiding out-of-bounds on the right, to leave a short second shot favouring the left side of the green.

Black: 408 yards
White: 365 yards
Yellow: 350 yards
Purple: 306 yards

Hole 15 – The Moors

Par 5

A tee shot protected by mature woodland leaves little room for error. Favour the left side with your second shot, leaving a short approach to a well-protected green. Hit enough club to avoid the deep front bunker.

Black: 542 yards
White: 529 yards
Yellow: 515 yards
Purple: 497 yards

Hole 16 – Cathill

Par 4

A challenging par 4 featuring one of the toughest tee shots on the course. A 220-yard drive will get you to the top of the hill, leaving a downhill approach to the green. Bunkers placed both right and left of the green will capture any wayward attempts.

Black: 449 yards
White: 433 yards
Yellow: 375 yards
Purple: 355 yards

Hole 18 – Home Farm

Par 4

A mid-length par 4 with a visible dogleg to the right. Wayward tee shots may be captured by bunkers on either side of the fairway. Long hitters may reach the water from the tee, but a straight drive will set up an approach to this difficult multi-level green.

Black: 420 yards
White: 373 yards
Yellow: 354 yards
Purple: 334 yards
