Brian I have played this numourous times and there are a few golfshakers who are members of styrrup Lovely course and a bugger of a par 5 at that length even harder when it's into the wind!!!
Best I have done is driver 3wood and 9iron to the green 1putt birdie, have parred it a few times but I think average score is 6/7

Yes Darren, You do have wrong. The card yardage of the 3rd hole at Styrrup is 712 from the Medal Tee and 664 from the visitors tee. There are though 2 visitors tee boxes. The second added a couple of years ago to make it a little easier. I'm a member and it can play as long as 720yds, its a bitch into the wind and most breath a sigh of relief with a 6. Surprisingly I have birdied it and often managed a very hard worked 5. I suspect it could be the longest par 5 in Europe without having a Championship tee. The 4th is another par 5 but at a meagre 521yds an easy par 5!

Wonder why they don't just make it a Par 6 as CONGU now allows holes of 660 + yards to be Par 6.
