This uphill par 5 may not look intimidating on the card, but it demands respect. Out of bounds lurks down the right-hand side, while the fairway slopes in the same direction, encouraging anything slightly wayward towards trouble. Aim carefully from the tee and favour the left side to give yourself the best chance of reaching this challenging green in regulation.

A strong par 4 with risk and reward from the tee. Drive over the crest and you'll be greeted by stunning views, but don't let them distract you from the large lake waiting on the right. Keep your drive left of centre and you'll have a much simpler approach into a green with plenty of room to work with.

Proof that length isn't everything. This shorter par 4 rewards position over power, with a gently turning fairway and subtle contours that can leave awkward approaches if ignored. A well-placed tee shot sets up a straightforward pitch into a welcoming green.

One of the course's more strategic holes. The fairway slopes noticeably from right to left, meaning a drive that starts in the centre can finish somewhere entirely different. There's plenty of room to attack, but understanding the contours is the key to giving yourself the easiest route into the green.

At just over 300 yards, this hole tempts the longer hitters, but patience is often the smarter play. The fairway falls left, while generous space on the right provides the safer route. Position your tee shot correctly and you'll leave yourself a simple approach into a beautifully framed green.

Accuracy is at a premium here. Trees line both sides of the fairway, while a stream guards the front of the green, preventing any running approach shots. Commit to your yardage and trust your strike, because anything short is likely to find trouble before it reaches the putting surface.

A delightful uphill par 3 that plays longer than its yardage suggests. A large bunker protects the front left of the green, while the elevated putting surface demands a confident strike. Take enough club and don't let the picturesque surroundings distract you from the task at hand.

A charming short par 4 packed with character. Trees, gorse and a winding ditch all come into play, creating plenty of decisions from the tee. Longer hitters may be tempted to get aggressive, but a sensible strategy often provides the easiest route to the green and a closing birdie opportunity on the front nine.

The back nine begins with a steady climb uphill. This par 4 asks for two solid shots, with trouble lurking on both sides of the fairway. The gradient makes the hole play longer than the yardage suggests, so favour control over brute force and trust your distance calculations.

The second par 5 of the round and another excellent test. A narrow fairway and sloping terrain can quickly turn a promising drive into a recovery shot. Keep the ball in position and you'll have a genuine chance to attack, but stray offline and this hole can become a battle for par.

One of the most distinctive driving holes on the course. The fairway slopes dramatically from left to right, making club selection and shot shape crucial. Use the contours to your advantage and you'll leave yourself a manageable approach into another bunker-free green complex.

A superb par 4 played across attractive moorland terrain. Out of bounds waits to the right, while the hole gradually turns left towards the green. A solitary bunker and exposed approach mean accuracy is more important than distance. Pick your target carefully and enjoy one of the finest views on the course.

The signature hole on the course. Playing over water to an elevated green, this picturesque par 3 demands commitment. Anything under-hit will find the pond, while anything over-aggressive risks a difficult recovery from behind the green.

The final stretch begins with a classic par 4. The fairway slopes from left to right towards out of bounds, making positioning from the tee vital. Resist the temptation to force the issue and focus on finding the fairway before attacking the green.

A deceptively tricky hole where the fairway contours once again influence every shot. Keeping the ball on the higher right-hand side of the fairway provides the best angle into the green, while anything drifting left can leave a far more demanding approach.

A strategic downhill par 4 where course management comes to the fore. Longer hitters may choose to lay back with an iron to stay short of the dogleg, leaving a controlled approach into the green. Get too aggressive and the fairway can quickly run away from you.

A fitting finale. The fairway tilts sharply from right to left before revealing a downhill approach towards the clubhouse. A hidden ditch catches out many hopeful finishing birdies, while the sloping green requires careful distance control. Negotiate the hazards successfully and enjoy one of the most scenic finishes in Lancashire.
