Hole 16
Sponsored By: Ribchesters
The 16th is a fairly straightforward par 5 with a dog leg to the left. The large stand of trees on the left midway along the fairway is known as the "Crawley Stand" after Leonard Crawley who was a well known member at Brancepeth. Many years ago Crawley used to play well left of these trees onto the 12th fairway, thus shortening the length of the hole considerably giving a better chance of par figures. Since then the trees in this area have grown to make this approach unwise if not impossible.
