This is where most golfers lose shots at Brockwood Hall.

Brockwood Hall rewards discipline and clear decision-making. Take an extra club for uphill approaches to ensure you reach the heart of the green. Check the wind direction at hilltop level, as it may differ from the breeze felt in more sheltered, lower areas of the course. Practise lag putting on slopes before starting your round.
