The story of the title

Aaron Grey takes the title

Plenty wilt at the sight of Hole 10—a water carry, a sloping green, and a hole described as Chalgrave Manor’s 'signature.' Aaron Grey, however, simply faced the aquatic challenge head-on and plotted a landing a mere 9 feet from the flag. That sort of accuracy is enough to make a sloping green rather self-conscious. Matt Richards could only watch as his own ball, 20 feet away, fell short of the coveted proximity prize.

The Risk & Reward Hole

Chalgrave’s signature: a short par‑3 completely across water to a severely sloping green. Missing the right‑side, below the flag can leave you with a downhill or sidehill putt that is anything but a “gimme.” Keeping the ball low and to the right yields the best chance at a two-putt or better.

The tricky contours here make an accurate tee shot essential. Also contested hereHole 7Nearest Pin - Hole 7. A stern par‑3 with mounded hazards front‑right and water front‑left. If you miss, you’ll face a tough up‑and‑down from the rear valley. Precision is essential. Also contested hereHole 9Longest Drive. The longest hole on the course and a monster test of power and placement. The second shot is key: stay left to open the angle, or go right and you face a sideways, sloping lie into a green surrounded by trees. On a good line—down the left—you can still be left with a demanding third and a tight, precise green entry.
