Definitely keep an eye on the par-5 14th hole - 'The Elm's Embrace.' It's a true risk-reward hole with a creek cutting across the fairway and a well-guarded green. We suggest laying up on your second shot unless you're feeling incredibly confident, as a par here feels like a birdie.

What's the atmosphere like at Elm Hills, and are there good facilities for after the round?

The atmosphere at Elm Hills is wonderfully laid-back and welcoming - exactly what you want from a great public course. After your round, we always head to 'The 19th Hole Grill' for their surprisingly good burgers and a cold drink. It's the perfect spot to recap your birdies and bogeys.
