AMW Faves List

Favorite Par 3 – #7 – it’s a full send from the tee, demanding a complete carry over an enormous bunker that stretches relentlessly from tee to green. Though the hole plays short on the card, that brevity is deceptive only a high, committed shot will hold the putting surface. 
Favorite Par 4 – #14 – from an elevated tee, the visuals are nothing short of spectacular. The closing hole at Full Cry begins with a downhill drive framed by the elegant backdrop of Keswick Hall in the distance. 
Favorite Par 5 – #12 – it may not be the most difficult hole on the course, but the way the design flows seamlessly with the natural terrain makes it one of the most beautiful. A gentle dogleg left tempts players to cut the corner, yet restraint is rewarded playing to the middle of the fairway. 
Favorite Hole Design – #14 – the dogleg left suggests a bold line down the left to cut the corner, but with the hole’s shorter length, taking less club off the tee and finding position in the fairway is the best strategy.
Easiest Hole – #9 – working back toward the clubhouse, the 9th is a short par 4 that sets up beautifully for a birdie with just three solid shots. The left side of the fairway is wide open, inviting a confident tee shot, while the approach requires only a short club.
Hardest Hole – #2 – the second hole at Full Cry might just make you cry early in your round. While not overly long on the scorecard, a narrow fairway flanked by multiple bunkers turns it into a challenging par.
