While enjoying the Humewood Golf course and soaking up that traditional old-fashioned atmosphere you should beware for the wind. The south-easterly and westerly winds will demand all your golfing skills and you should hope that gale force winds are not predicted for the day.

The No. 3 green on the Humewood Golf course is a long sea-facing par 3 that presents itself as a challenge to any golfer. The small green is protected by two large bunkers and a hump to the right, although the hump is the best line to take, you should not pitch directly into the hump as this could deflect your ball into the bunkers. The number 7 hole is a par five but is the perfect birdie opportunity for longer hitters who are not afraid to cut the corners and is easily reachable in two shots for longer hitters.
