Fairthorne Manor is a short course at just over 3,600 yards, with a par of 62. As such, it has much to offer golfers of all standards and handicaps. Beginners will benefit from the fact that no hole exceeds 300 yards in length and the 'intimidation factor' is therefore greatly reduced. High to mid-handicappers will be rewarded for straight hitting and careful club selection, developing their course management skills. Experienced, low-handicappers will be presented with a different set of challenges to those they may be used to.
