A parkland course in scenic setting high undulating land with good views.
MONMOUTH GOLF CLUB

Monmouth Golf Club is conveniently situated along the A.40 , half a mile north of Monmouth Town, in the direction of Ross on Wye.
Turn left into Leasbrook Lane and continue for approximately half a mile – you can’t miss it. Nor would you want to, the MGC
celebrated its’ centenary in 1996 and has been at it’s present location since 1921.
Originally a nine hole course, Monmouth was extended to 18 holes in 1992, the year in which the “new” clubhouse was opened,
offering a most comfortable location for a drink or a meal with magnificent views of the course and the surrounding countryside.
Monmouth certainly has every justification for its claim to be one of the prettiest courses in Wales and is undoubtedly one that is
renowned for the warm welcome offered to its’ guests.
The course stands on high ground above the Town with superb views of the Welsh Hills, Forest of Dean and the Wye Valley. The
undulating parkland course, superbly maintained throughout the year by head greenkeeper Lee Williams and his team is 5698 yards
off the white tees ,5507 off yellow (Par 69, SSS 67) and 5118 yards off the Ladies’red tees (Par 72 SSS72) Each aptly named hole offers
a different challenge and names such as “Cannes Folly”, “Kymin View”, “The Oasis”, “The Struggle”, “Long Haul”, “Devil’s Bunker” and
“Last Gasp” give clues to the test in store. The eighth hole, “ Cresta Run” was recently included in “Britain’s 100 most extraordinary
golf holes” which also nominated Monmouth as having the best value green fees in the country.
As you leave the clubhouse you become aware of the tranquillity of the verdant surroundings, mature trees, wild flowers and an
abundance of wild life- Deer, Pheasant and Rabbit in particular. Visit the MGC- you will not be disappointed.
The Course
Arguably the prettiest course in the entire Pricipality. Undulating parkland with views that are simply stunning !! The eighth hole
(Cresta Run), was featured amongst Britain's most extraordinary golf holes.

1 - ARNOTTS
Par 4 Par 4 - (Ladies & Juniors) Stroke Index 9
Championship - 319 Medal - 319 Regular - 314 C'ship Ladies - 314 Ladies & Juniors - 314
.Named after Leslie Arnott, a member who used it as a landing strip

for his Tiger Moth back in the "Roaring Twenties". It was then the
second hole of the old nine hole course and was played in the opposite
direction to today's first.
It should be a two shot hole to the green for the average golfer who
can hit a straight ball ?? The out of bounds on the left will punish a
hooked shot and the clump of trees on the right can be a problem. The
direction of the approach shot is critical as there is a long bunker
protecting the right of the green.
2 - CANNES FOLLY
A lovely drop hole over a valley which contains the roadway to the
greenkeepers premises. The out of bounds "donkey paddock" to the
left of the green seems to impart a magnetic influence on any
semblance of a hooked shot.
3 - MANSON'S CROSS
A drive which is uphill and complicated by out of bounds on the left

and trees on the right. The fairway then slopes to the right and
continues uo a moderate incline to a long narrow plateau green .
protected by a bunker on the left.
4 - THE BUCKHOLT
Considered by many to be one of the prettiest holes on

the course .
A reasonably straightforward par four, once your tee
shot has been threaded through a narrow avenue of
trees to reach the fairway and always providing that
you do not visit the wood on the right hand side or the
"out of bounds" on the left.
5 - KYMIN VIEW
Another hole where the scenery compensates for the golfing problems
which it poses. It is a left hand dogleg with a sloping fairway from
right to left. There is a marsh pond at the bottom of the fairway which
can be reached from the tee and the only flattish area is to the right
hand side of the pond.
The left of the fairway has a stream awaiting the hooked drive and a
slice is punished by a difficult stance for the next shot, which must
clear the pond.
The approach to the green is uphill with bunkers on either side, but
now you can truly enjoy the "Kymin View".
6 - THE OASIS
A firm favourite for societies etc., who are running a nearest the pin
competition. A tricky par three with the green well protected by a
ditch and overhanging trees. The overhit tee shot is punished, also, as
there is a pond at the back of the green. Any mishit shot and the
chance of a par is remote.
7 - THE STRUGGLE
You either love it or hate it !! the name is almost self explanatory as

the hole is almost all uphill.
The long driver will reach the plateau green in two with ease, but the
average club golfer will be happy to get there for three and down for a
five.
8 - CRESTA RUN
An unusual hole which was recently included in the book " Britain's
100 Extraordinary Golf Holes".
The hole is well named being downhill and almost a double dogleg.
The placing of the drive is very important with " out of bounds " on the
right and considerable areas of rough on the left. The second shot can
be influenced by the close proximity of the farm buildings, and the
trees which camouflage them, to the ideal line to the green which is
well bunkered.
9 - THE ELBOW
This is a left hand dogleg around the farmyard and

buildings.
Once again the drive is critical, the long hitter will aim
over the corner of the buildings and expect to have a
short iron shot to the green, but if too short will, if not
out of bounds, have to play a shot off a steep slope, if too
long his line could be obstructed by tall trees.
The average golfer will play around the dogleg and will
then have a longer approach shot to the green off a fairly
level stance. The approach to the green is narrow so
accuracy is required.
10 - THE RABBITS
A tricky par three as the ideal line to the green skirts the "out of
bounds" on the left, which has tall trees lining a ditch just inside the
course.
The lie of the land slopes steeply from left to right and this will
prevent a short hit shot from reaching the green.
11 - THE LONG HAUL
The longest hole on the course is certainly aptly named. A fair drive
will finish at the foot of a hill about 200 yards from the men's tee, and
is then uphill all the way to a split level green. A large tree guards the
centre of the fairway in the dropping zone of an average drive and a
hedge up the last hand side has those amazing magnetic properties.
All in all, a "Long Haul", particularly if you tend to be a little on the
wayward side.
12 - COLE'S HOLE
This is the old First hole of the old nine hole course but played in the
opposite direction to a new green adjacent to the new clubhouse, the
tee being near the site of the old green. This alteration was originally
suggested by Bill Cole, professional and greenkeeper in the late
sixties- hence " Cole's Hole".
An average straight drive will leave a second shot of about 170 yards,
downhill to a green well bunkered on the left.
Near the green the ground slopes from the right towards these
bunkers, and the clubhouse garden and practise putting green are "
out of bounds" to gather in the stray shot on the right.
13 - WALDON PULPIT
Named after George Waldon who designed the 1921 course on which
this was the third hole. A straightforward one shot hole over a shallow
valley to a sloping green marshalled by bunkers on either side.
Accuracy is, yet again, the keyword.
14 - THE LAGOON sponsored by South Hereford Garages
Another attractive hole with ponds on the left of the fairway and
Malley Brook on the right. A good drive downhill from the tee gives an
interesting approach to a built up small green over a further pond. A
bunker and a small clump of trees make an approach from the left a
less attractive proposition and so, reader, the choice is yours !!
15 - TWO IN ONE
This is a combination of the fifth and sixth holes of the old nine hole
course. It has a gradual uphill gradient with a small group of trees and
a hedge row to trap the wayward or over ambitious . The approach to
the green is narrow and the green, itself, is sloping and the trickiest
on the course. When the hole is on the lower right of the green, four
putts are quite common.
16 - DEVIL'S BUNKER
A one shot hole where, again, accuracy is paramount if one is to reach

the green which has been cut out of a hill, sloping from the right to the
left. A mishit tee shot is likeky to hit the large Oak tree on the right
and anything other than a straight shot to the green is likely to run
into the long bunker on the left. The steep sides of this bunker account
for the name of the hole and make recovery shots very difficult.
17 - HOWARD'S WAY
The drive is from a high tee with "out of bounds" on the left , down
and across a valley to the upward sloping fairway. The second shot
should reach the crest of the hill , leaving an open approach to the
green. A row of trees fringes the right hand rough and the green is
guarded on both sided by bunkers. The hole is named after Howard
Jones who dominated Monmouth Golf during the sixties and seventies
and, on one occasion, required only five shots to complete holes
seventeen (2) AND eighteen (3) .
18 - LAST GASP
This hole runs parallel to the

seventeenth in the opposite
direction, back towards the
Clubhouse. There are no serious
dangers though the " out of
bounds " hedge on the left may
easily catch either a hooked drive
or second shot.
The rough on the right is fringed
by a row of Silver Birch trees and
the green guarded on the right by
a large bunker.
