Some of the most striking landscape changes due to recent scrub clearance can be seen along the 13th fairway and around the green. Not all bushes are being removed, as some scrub is a natural part of a balanced dune landscape.

Conservation management ensures that native, slow growing, species such as GORSE and HAWTHORN are left following clearance of White Poplar and Sea Buckthorn.

GREY PARTRIDGES are a nationally declining species affected by intensive agriculture. They occur in the grasslands around the course and may be inadvertently flushed from rough’s whole searching for a lost ball. GREY HERON is a common visitor to the course and may be seen hunting for fish or amphibians in the ditch along the left of the 13th fairway.
