78 BEARWOOD LAKES

Architect: M Hawtree 2006 position: 69 Stats: 6,488 yds; par 72; SSS 71 GF: £85 (limited availability) T: 01189 797900 W: bearwoodlakes.co.uk If you were to play the beautiful Bearwood Lakes with no prior knowledge of the design, you would be stunned to find out that the course was laid out less than 15 years ago.

The immaculate fairways run through mature trees that give the feeling of a long-established inland layout.

The 13th and 14th run alongside the lake and are particularly beautiful, but throughout the round you can expect an enjoyable test.

Bearwood Lakes is never overcrowded and a warm welcome awaits in a clubhouse that looks out over the 1st, 18th and superb 7th holes in all their glory. POH

+ Good fun; always well-conditioned; forward-thinking management - Par 3s too similar in length; comparatively weak closing holes
