Welcome to The Shires of Cambridge which is my 3rd course design and follows on from The Isle of Ely. Course details are as follows.... Autumn theme Par 72 Red tees - 6786 yards Gold tees - 7086 yards White tees - 7367 yards Fairways - Very firm Greens - Very firm Green Speed - Very fast (187s) Set in the heart of East Anglia in the United Kingdom, The Shires of Cambridge is an exclusive members only golf club. The course offers a very scenic round as you wind your way through 18 holes of golf that offers a little bit of everything along the way. There are plenty of opportunities to score low on your round but the greens will try their best to test you to the max! Careful and thoughtful approach shots are key here and using the slopes will be essential to land close. Gettable eagle par 5s throughout and a short par 4 that is very inviting if played right from the tee will offer up some very low scores for the top players. Enjoy your round and take in the sights from The Shires. *A little extra thing I wanted to say was that I tried something new with this design and started with a completely flat plot! It was tough but i really enjoyed sculpting this one and I think i managed to pull off a natural look overall. Thank you, Aron

Beautiful looking course, the colours and lighting are spot on, plenty of options of the tee allows for course management. Some tricky greens that can be used to your advantage if played right but punishing if you get the approach wrong. Those for lack of a better term water bunkers are a devious touch. Overall a quality course thatโs well worth a play.

Absolutely gorgeous course! Very clean smooth lines, beautiful sculpting and contouring, and your planting is incredible. You've framed your holes so well there are too many picture-perfect screen-shot-worthy ones to name. And it plays very well also - your routings and distances were obviously well-thought out to encourage decisions and club/shot selection. Greens, despite being soft, are quite challenging with your sculpting and pin placements. Really, really like this course - rated it Tour-Worthy in the database easily, and we're going to feature it on the show this week. Great job Aron!

Thank you Greg....This took me 3 months to finish and the planting took up a lot of that time but I think it was worth it in the end. Glad you enjoyed it and look forward to it being on your show ๐

Great work.
I love the intricate landing areas from the tees and I thought the bunkers were very well placed.
