Back Nine: 10th Hole

Mount Hope
424 Yards - Par 4
It is unusual to be able to design a hole with two distinct routes and the 10th is one such example. Each one provides a hole of different character and a considerably different view for the approach. The right-hand, upper route, is the more testing, but it leaves a downhill second with a full view of the green from a well-struck drive for most. The lower left route, however, leaves a view of only the front third of the green with the back left of the green protected by a hill. This section of the green can be reached by running the ball in off the bank on the right, with a draw.

If there is any doubt over the choice of club from either route, then it is better to be short, as the green slopes off on three sides.

Lehigh Hill on which the 10th tees stand was where the Revolutionary Force had dug in defensively, having failed in its bid to oust the British from Newport.
