The journey down the drive to the clubhouse sets the scene for a day here, giving glimpses of the idyllic heathland and woodland in which it is laid out and generally leaving behind the strains of life as you enter the serene, forested bowl which Hollinwell calls home. Alongside Sherwood and Lindrick, they are a fine trio.
