Many a card has ended here.

Badgers Wood (16th)  301 Yards Par 4 (S.I.16) From an elevated tee, the shot needs to be positioned to the right of the single tree on top of the plateau. The left-hand side offers the best approach to the secluded green, but the river winds across and to the left of the fairway.

River's Bend (17th)  179 Yards Par 3 (S.I.10) Another scenic hole dropping some hundred feet from the tee over the river to a green bunkered either side. Good club selection is essential.

Last Gasp (18th)  280 Yards Par 4 (S.I.14) The last! Trees and high bank of rough to the right and the River Medlock to the left, a good strike up the middle will suffice. This leaves a short, uphill approach to a small green with deep bunkers to the left. Like all good finishing holes the green is in full view of the clubhouse and balcony.
