This green is definitely not flat. It's basically a big, green punch bowl, with the centre lower than the edges. Unless you're a reasonable facsimile of a tour player, hitting an approach that will leave you an uphill putt is pretty much a matter of luck. If the pin is cut in the centre, the objective is to nudge the ball in the right direction and hope it stops rolling somewhere near the cup. Hornby Tower is a great course for anyone who thinks a game of golf need not be a survival test.
Hazards are minimal, fairways are wide and the greens are spacious.
This isn't a place where a Sunday duffer will need to pack a dozen balls and hope to only lose 11.
