Each course utilizes the color coded pin placement system, with red indicating front, white - middle and yellow the back of the green. 100, 150 and 200 yard blocks on located the fairways and sprinkler heads are also measured to the center of the green on all par fours and fives. All tee boxes also have posted measurements.

There are six sets of tee boxes on The Moor, that play to distances and slopes measuring 6850 yards/144 slope, 6597 yards/136 slope, 6236 yards/133 slope, 6043 yards/130 slope for men and 136 slope for women, 5764 yards/124 slope and 5099 yards with a slope of 127 from the forward tees for women. Fifty-five soft sand bunkers are strategically positioned greenside or near the landing zones off the tee, and water hazards come into play on 11 of the holes. The green complexes on this course vary in size and shape, but many slope from back to front and are quick rolling with subtle breaks. The landing zones off the tee are generally ample, but distance control on the contoured par fours is an important scoring element.

The Moor is known for its interesting design which features numerous doglegs. The front nine is advantageous for the right handed power fade-hitter, as holes 1, 2, 7 and 9 all bend from left to right off the tee. The two par fives on the front side dogleg to the left on the approach. The back opens with what we felt was the most challenging hole, a tight driving par four with a pond situated in front of the green that leaves little room for error. The par five 18th is a great finishing hole, a snaking design with water in play to the left off the tee and to the right greenside. This is a great design and a lot of fun to play - highly recommended! For more info, visit our page for the course, with direct link to their website by clicking here.
