18 hole course
The course at Rusper gives golfers a gentle start, the first 4 holes getting you into your stride. Following on from the 5th hole accuracy from the tee is at a premium but there are no long carries to deter the shorter hitter. Holes 8 to 14 are sometimes called "Amen Corner" (shades of Augusta!) but they are a challenge and keeping the ball in play is the way to make a good score.

Hole 1
A gentle start, but from the tee be aware of the pond on the right and OoB on the left, and behind the right to left sloping green.
Par 4 - White 294 - Yellow 277 - Red 269
Hole 2
A slight dog leg to the left. Don't be too greedy or the well placed bunkers and rough will catch you out.
Par 4 - White 371 - Yellow 357 - Red 352
Hole 3
A tighter drive than the opening holes but a good one is rewarded with a shot to the green. Pictured from behind the green.
Par 5 - White 485 - Yellow 472 - Red 402
Hole 4
The shortest par 3 for the men. Downhill with water on the right. An extra club may be needed if the pin is at the back of the green.
Par 3 - White 181 - Yellow 156 - Red 144
Hole 5
The second par 5 and another straight drive required. Slight dog leg to the left with trees protecting the green.
Par 5 - White 522 - Yellow 508 - Red 422
Hole 6
Sharp dog leg to the left. Don’t try to cut off too much of the corner as bunkers are placed to trap the shot over the trees.
Par 4 - White 320 - Yellow 310 - Red 294
Hole 7
Deceptive par 3 with a ditch along the right and OoB on the left. Do not climb the fence to find lost golf balls! Be aware of players on the 13th tee.
Par 3 - White 188 - Yellow 183 - Red 175
Hole 8
A tricky tree lined par 4 with OoB on the left. A good drive can be rewarded with a par.
Par 4 - White 447 - Yellow 432 - Red 394 (Par 5)
Hole 9
Long and straight par 5. Fairway slopes from left to right off the tee. Have fun if the flag is at the back of the green.
Par 5 - White 548 - Yellow 525 - Red 487
Hole 10
Narrow landing area for the big hitters off the tee. A pond on the left and trees on the right.
Par 4 - White 430 - Yellow 393 - Red 364 (Par 5)
Hole 11
Short par 3 for the ladies but the men have to take on the water to a tricky two tiered green.
Par 3 - White 206 - Yellow 187 - Red 136
Hole 12
Uphill all the way. Watch the wind beyond the tree lined fairway.
Par 4 - White 420 - Yellow 403 - Red 357
Hole 13
Par 5 with a dog leg left to start. Be sensible off the tee. Tree lined approach to a sloping left to right green.
Par 5 - White 509 - Yellow 490 - Red 484
Hole 14
Two shots to the green for the big hitters or play short of the water and pitch close for your par.
Par 4 - White 401 - Yellow 384 - Red 345
Hole 15
Tree lined par 4. Stay down the middle for your best approach to the green.
Par 4 - White 410 - Yellow 390 - Red 383
Hole 16
Widest fairway on the course so let it rip. Beware of the green sloping down front to back.
Par 4 - White 413 - Yellow 398 - Red 351
Hole 17
A semi-blind and uphill short hole, with a bunker in front and more to the left. Take sufficient club to make the carry to the two-stepped green.
Par 3 - White 183 - Yellow 152 - Red 145
Hole 18
Nearly back for a well earned drink. Mind the ditch in front of the green.
Par 4 - White 396 - Yellow 350 - Red 346
