Where most golfers lose shots at Horsehay Village

The most common error is underestimating the elevation changes, leading to club selection choices that fall short of the putting surfaces. Greed off the tee can be penalised by well-placed trees and thick perimeter rough that narrows the landing zones. Players often struggle when they fail to account for the impact of wind on the more exposed, higher sections of the course.

Horsehay Village rewards discipline and clear decision-making. Familiarise yourself with the prevailing wind direction as it significantly alters the effective yardage on several holes.

Always check your alignment on sloping tee boxes to ensure you aren't inadvertently aiming toward trouble.
