A fairly straightforward hole with bunkers strategically
placed on the right of the fairway to catch wayward drives. A good
drive should leave a mid iron to a flat green. Avoid the further large
bunker across the centre of the fairway short of the green.
2 Smirack – 390 yards Par 4
A
good drive should leave you with a short iron shot to a slightly sunken
green, which is guarded at the front, by four bunkers - two at each
side of the entrance to the green.
3 Firth – 480 yards Par 5
The direction of the wind will dictate whether you are able
to reach the green of this par 5 in two shots. There is a ridge running
across the fairway short of the green that has pot bunkers at either
side. The flat green is bunker free. The sensible shot would be past
the ridge.
4th Auchintae – 445 yards Par 4
The
whins on the right side of the fairway may come into play from your
drive. A good drive should leave you a very long iron or fairway wood
to a sunken bowl shaped green.
5th Morven – 434 yards Par 4
A difficult par 4 that doglegs to the right. The whins and gorse that
line both sides of the fairway make the accuracy of the drive important.
The approach shot to the green should avoid the two bunkers on the
left and one on the right of the green.
6th Hollow – 192 yards Par 3
The first of the par 3 holes and as the name suggests you drive down
into a hollow where the ground slopes from left to right. You really
have to hit the green to have any chance of your par. Anything short
will catch the slope and run into any of the three bunkers guarding
the green.
7th Burnside – 384 yards Par 4
Drive uphill avoiding the out of bounds which follows the line of
the hole on the right. Beware of driving too far and catching the
gorse on the left. A good drive should leave you a mid iron to a flat
green.
8th Short – 167 yards Par 3
The elongated green has three bunkers on the left and one on the right.
The green slopes steeply from left to right. Pin position will dictate
whether you use the natural contours of this hole. Again beware of
out of bounds on your right.
9th Road – 309 yards Par 4
This hole gets its name from the tarmac road that borders it on the
right and defines the out of bounds. There is a fairway bunker in
the middle that will come into play for the bigger hitters. Second
shot is to a flat green guarded by three bunkers.
