What's the standout feature or "must-play" hole at Flemingdon Park that makes it unique?
For us, the par-3 8th hole really stands out - it's a deceptively tricky shot over a valley to a well-guarded green.

You'll definitely want to take an extra moment on the tee box to plan your attack on this one.
