Hole 2Sponsored by ParStrokeLength Men’s Blue512444m White512420m Ladies White511420m Yellow511365m The second hole is another short par five, this time with a slight dogleg to the left. Again, out-of-bounds awaits the golfer who is well left with any of their shots. The hole is uphill most of the way, and your second…

The left is bordered by out-of-bounds and trees. Towards the…
Hole 13Sponsored by ParStrokeLength Men’s Blue39132m White39129m Ladies White314129m Yellow314105m The third hole of what is sometimes called Masterton’s “Amen Corner”. Score well on the 11th, 12th and 13th and you’re usually on the way to a good score. This par three has probably the most severe green on the course; but…
Hole 12Sponsored by [table “Hole12” not found /] Another great-looking hole. This par four is short on paper, but long on danger. Left and down into the tree-covered gulch is in deep trouble and will often mean another hit from the tee or a drop. Right isn’t much better, with a drain running most of…
Hole 11Sponsored by [table “Hole11” not found /] Probably the signature hole of the Masterton Golf Club. The views from this hole, especially from the green, are outstanding. As for the hole itself, if you have to miss the green, miss it left — there is a small chance the ball will catch the bank…
Hole 10Sponsored by [table “Hole10” not found /] A tight driving hole, with an even tighter approach shot required to a narrow green with bunkers either side. The breaks on the green are subtle and it is easy to be deceived due to the lie of the land. Especially from the men’s blue tees, you…
Hole 9Sponsored by [table “Hole9” not found /] Another par four for men and par five for women. This hole requires an uphill blind tee shot, which makes the hole seem a lot longer than the distance on the card. The small green is hard to hit, and if it must be missed, to the…
Hole 8Sponsored by ParStrokeLength Men’s Blue318118m White318114m Ladies White318114m Yellow318112m This is the shortest hole on the course for the men, and is also the easiest for both men and women. But be careful: it’s only easy if you hit a good tee shot! Club selection is vital here, as anything too…
Hole 7Sponsored by [table “Hole7” not found /] Bob Charles’ advice is a little bit out of date, at least as it pertains to us mere golfing mortals. His advice comes from the days when the seventh was a par five, and a reasonably straight-forward three-shotter; these days the hole is anything but easy. For…
Hole 6Sponsored by [table “Hole6” not found /] A downhill par four, this hole offers a little more leniency on the drive than the previous hole, but the best approach to the green is made from the left-hand side of the fairway. The drive is blind, but aim just to the left of the power…
