A Guide to the Back 9 at Panshanger Golf Course:
 

Hole 10: White: 463 Yards,Yellow: 453 Yards, Red: 439 Yards

Like the front 9, a difficult hole to start with on the back 9. Two long straight shots are required to give you a chance of making the green in regulation. Due to the length, lots of players treat this hole like a Par 5 and from the Red tees, it is.

Hole 11: White: 175 Yards, Yellow: 170 Yards, Red: 150 Yards

Bunkers surround this green at the front and sides so take an extra club as it often plays longer than it looks. The green slopes from back to front to continue the test on this par 3.

Hole 12: White: 437 Yards, Yellow: 427 Yards, Red: 374 Yards

Tricky tee shot as the fairway slopes right towards out of bounds but if you find the left side of the fairway you'll have an approach over some trees to reach the green. Make par on this hole and you should be a happy golfer!

Hole 13: White: 305 Yards, Yellow: 295 Yards, Red: 247 Yards

The shortest Par 4 on the course but not the easiest as it's uphill until you reach the end of the fairway. Aim your tee shot to the left to avoid the big hollow under the oak tree.

Hole 14: White: 171 Yards, Yellow: 161 Yards, Red: 142 Yards

Back down the hill you go on this Par 3 but anything over hit will leave either a tricky shot back up to the green or be out of bounds.

Hole 15: White: 358 Yards, Yellow: 312 Yards, Red: 295 Yards

The fairway slopes severly from left to right and three pot bunkers await any stray shots. Aim your tee shot left and you should have an easier second into the green.

Hole 16: White: 524 Yards, Yellow: 514 Yards, Red: 456 Yards

A long gradual uphill climb awaits as you turn the corner of this dogleg Par 5. The slope of the valley again forces players to hit to the left hand side of the fairway on the approach. A big two tiered green can put you in three putt territory.

Hole 17: White: 332 Yards, Yellow: 322 Yards, Red: 318 Yards

A blind tee shot aimed just to the right of the pine trees will leave a downhill second to a green guarded by a huge bunker to the front right. Out of bounds to the right for the entire hole.

Hole 18: White: 482 Yards, Yellow: 477 Yards, Red: 452 Yards

Out of bounds on the right again here. A straight tee shot but with distance control required as you may run out of fairway and down into the trees. Get the tee shot right and you may be able to attack the green for a final birdie as the hole plays slighty downhill. Beware the Captain's Bunker on the left hand side!
