The second nine again starts with a short
par 4. The drive is downhill into a valley with a bunker guarding the left
hand side of the wide fairway. The second shot is uphill to an undulating,
kidney shaped green with a bunker to the right. Sponsored by: Clark Environmental |

This is a truly heroic hole which requires
a carry of 165 yards across a large lake. The green is sleeper fronted,
comparatively wide and slopes up to a large mound in which is set a
centrally placed bunker. Sponsored by: 3M Northallerton |

A genuine three shot hole. The drive from
the back tee, which juts into the lake, must carry 80 yards of water up to a
ridge with bunkers set left and right of the generous fairway. The second
shot should be aimed to the right side of the fairway. The green rises
steeply from front to back and is guarded by two large bunkers. Sponsored by: available to sponsor |

Arguably the most difficult hole on the
course. The drive is quite tight, with out of bounds on the left.
The hole then doglegs left to the bottom of a
valley, where a loop in the river cuts into the front of
the slightly elevated green. |

A short par 4, but fraught with
difficulties. The drive is played over the River Wiske, some 110 yards from
the tee, to a wide fairway. The second shot has to be played back over the
river to an open and inviting green. Sponsored by: Valmount Stainton |

Another uphill par 3 hole which plays its
full yardage. A deep bunker lies between the two arms of the L-shaped green
which is at the highest part of the course, offering exceptional views
across the course to
east and west. Sponsored by: Glow-Worm |

A straightforward par 5. The drive from an
elevated tee must pass through a gap in the hedge to avoid bunkers on the
left and right. There is no particular difficulty with the second shot, but
the third has to negotiate four deep bunkers surrounding the green. Sponsored by: MC Ware |

A testing par 4. The drive must avoid a
large bunker on the right and not be hit overlong as a valley runs between
the end of the bunker and the green, which is guarded by a solitary
bunker on the front left of the green. Sponsored by: available to sponsor |

This is a short but spectacular par 4
finishing hole with two options facing you. Either drive across the
river, which is about 230 yards from an elevated back tee, leaving a pitch
to the angled green avoiding the large bunker. Or play short and face a
slightly longer second shot. Sponsored by: Blake Newport |
