Championship Priory Course layout
The Priory Course layout features tree-lined fairways that demand accuracy off the tee. There are elevation changes, sloping terrain, and strategic dog-legs.
Players encounter rolling parkland with mature trees framing many holes and undulating fairways that can feed balls into trouble. The contoured greens test putting skills.
The front nine introduces the challenge with sloping fairways and elevated greens. The back nine delivers memorable, visually impressive holes and risk-reward opportunities.
Signature holes on the Championship Priory Course
