Why play here?

Classic inland heathland in splendid isolation

Beau Desert’s fairways are framed by heather, gorse and pines. Accuracy from the tee opens the correct angles, while rolling greens, hollows and steep bunkers keep the strategic work going long after the drive. The course’s separation between holes gives the round a quiet, self-contained quality.

Choose Beau Desert if: you value classic architecture, firm strategic golf and a club experience that feels removed from the resort circuit.

How to play it

Three holes that define the decisions

1st · Par 4 · 304 white

Start with control. A fairway wood or hybrid towards the broadest section left of the bunkers leaves a short iron and a clear view along the green. The opening priority is position, not maximum distance.

5th · Par 4 · 404 white

The index-one hole demands a committed tee plan. Carrying the left bunker improves the angle; the safer line finishes short-right. From there, prepare for a long uphill approach into a narrow reverse-MacKenzie green.

15th · Par 5 · 545 white

The widest fairway invites a positive drive, but the second shot requires a clear choice: challenge the right bunker or lay up. Keep the approach below the hole because the green runs right-to-left and front-to-back.
