A slight draw off the tee is a big help here. The green is fairly flat but has bunkers either side and a bank which slopes away at the at the back of it.
A tricky par three and although the green has been enlarged, it is still a difficult green to hit. The bunker on the left front edge gathers balls and the proximity of the trees on both sides makes this a tough tee shot.
Stroke index one for the men and rightly so. You cannot see the green so just aim for the top of the hill. The green tends to run from the left to the right and slightly away from you making the second shot difficult.
You have to be prepared to carry the brook with your tee shot as laying up can leave you with a nasty downhill lie. The bunker guarding the front of the green is around 6 feet high.
Another hole where a slight draw will help although you will need to be middle to right of the fairway to take the Oak Tree near the green out of play. The pond left front of the green gathers many a mishit shot.
A straight forward if tight hole. The key thing is to hit the fairway with your drive and don’t be too long with your second to the green otherwise you will be in the brook.
The recently remodelled par 3 looks innocuous. However it slopes from back to front presenting tricky putts for those who go beyond the flag. Uphill to the green so you may want one more club than normal for the distance.
A power fade is ideal off the tee unless you can hit a long high draw. A few yards to the right of the marker post will usually cost you a shot to get back to the fairway.
There plenty of room on the fairway, it just looks like there isn’t. The undulating fairway can provide some tricky lies on the way to the green. The green slopes uphill away from you and is guarded by bunkers on both sides. Beware the OAB on the right.
Our Course
Coventry Hearsall Golf Club was founded in 1894 and moved to its present location in 1911. The course boasts many mature trees along its fairways. Although relatively short by modern standards at 6001 yards, the course is testing and demands straight hitting to avoid punishment. The stream running through the course provides further food for thought for the golfer on several holes. The 444 yard 18th hole provides a formidable finishing hole.

The danger with this par 3 is hitting the two pot bunkers either side of the front entrance to the green.
You have to be left of the fairway or hit a long staight drive to have the best chance of hitting the green with your second. You cannot relax once on the green as it is rated the most difficult on the course to putt on.
This hole is in reach for long hitters with a gentle draw. However, leave your drive right and you will almost certainly be out of bounds if not in a neighbour’s garden. Discretion is often the best option for getting your par.
Another hole for the long hitters to weigh up the risk and reward of going for the green. For the rest of us, laying up in front of the brook is the best option. The green slopes steeply at the front so make sure you get your shot up to the flag.
The first 150 yards of the drive path feels extremely narrow, especially when you have a good score going. The stream runs down the right for the first part of the fairway and the trees guarding both sides have been known to help a ball into it.
Get a good drive away on this par 5 and you could be over the brook with your second. Make sure you get to the same level as the flag with your shot to the green otherwise you will have a tougher putt than you want.
Take aim between the two slight mounds on the brow of the hill as you cannot see the green from the tee. Beware of the two bunkers just off the fairway in the landing area, and the two further on some 50 yards from the green.
The last of the par 3s. A small green with a narrow entrance guarded by bunkers on both sides.
A great finishing hole. A 444 yard par 4 demanding a straight drive to avoid the trees. The undulations on the fairway can provide some awkward lies. The two fairway bunkers 100 yards or so from the green probably affect the average length hitters more than the long ones.
