Oops not used to the forum technicalities.
Martyn,
Can't help with a map of the old layout I'm afraid. But the new holes 1, 2, 17 and 18 didn't exist.
The first hole was new #4, hence why it's near the practice area. The last hole was new #3 but was a par 4 not par 5. The new loop 5 and 6 was 16 and 17, but the old 16th was a par 3 below the elevated tee.
That meant old #2 is now new #7 exactly the same, as is old #3 now new #8. The new #9 was a par 3 to a different smaller green up the hill.
Old holes 5-9 were levelled for the airport.
New holes #10-14 are the same as the old holes #10-14 apart from new #10 tee is about 70 yards back. Used to almost drive the green but now it's two good hits!
New hole #14 used to be played either to the left as it is now, or up the hill to the green which is now new #15. This didn't exist and the long par 5 (killer) was the old #15. As I said earlier, old #16 par 3 then and #17 went back to what is now the new #3rd and off the course by the practice area and car park.
God that was hard!!
Old #5 was a long par 4 on undulating fairway with a blind shot to green. Okd #6 a short par 4 (nearest ever hole in one - hit flag and stayed a foot from hole). Old #7 par 4 dog leg left. Old #8 easy par 3. Old #9 dog leg right risk ir reward over a boggy area to where the path meets the course 100 yards from new #10th tee!!!!
