1A pleasant opening short par 4 hole with road and houses to the right, clumps of trees both left and right and out of bounds staked to the right.Although the fairway is wide, many drives are lured by these hazards.The second shot is to a sharply sloping green guarded by three bunkers and where three putts are not uncommon.2This hole is well named, especially as one gets older.The drive is uphill to a wide fairway with two bunkers on the left, which is the side to favour and thick rough on the right, which may appear the shorter line.A blind second shot, for most golfers to the green with trees to the left and bunkers both right and left. A small copse of trees some 15 yards through the green can be a severe pe3The only par 5 on the gents card, this hole has wide fairways flanked by deep rough.In favourable conditions the green can be reached in two shots but normally one is left with a short approach to the green sloping back to front with two greenside bunkers.4A short dog-leg hole which may give one the desire to drive the green.This invariably leads to trouble as the direct line is over thick rough, well planted with trees and a deep greenside bunker.5Aptly named and the shortest hole on the course. It is played from elevated tees or from a lower level box (yellow) tee to a deep but relatively narrow stepped green.There is little fairway – mostly to the left of the green. From tee to green there is thick rough and trees in a deep hollow and a well-placed bunker protects the front of the grConsequently a tee shot missing the green virtually guarantees a bogey or worse.6The tee shot is aimed at a direction post situated on the crest of aridge with rough and out of bounds to the right of the fairway. Over the crest the fairway turns sharply right with a punishing bank of whins all down the right,this poses quite a hazard for the second shot to a green protected on the right by a bunker and to the left a heathery knoll and two small bunkers.7This is a good short hole played from a tee on a hill formerly used as a pulpit by Covenanting preachers and requires a medium to long iron.The tee shot allows no margin of error to a green, flanked by rough hillocks and further protected by several bunkers.8This is a long par 4 hole, often out of range of two shots,played from an elevated tee with rough on either side of a sloping fairway.The natural contour of the ground approaching the two tiered green tends to throw the ball onto a deep pot bunker at the right edge. Care must be taken however as the left of the g9The furthermost point on the course, this hole is awesomebecause the blind drive over a cliff and you may finish below a ridge, which crosses the fairway.The green, which slopes sharply to the front can still be out of site for the second shot, a medium iron, remembering the out of bounds wall which encroaches on the right. Putting 10At the turn – another short par 4 with a blind downhill drive.The green which slopes from right to left is attractively set with bunkers round the front and woodland to the rear. A pleasant hole to start the back nine.11This is a difficult par 4 dog-leg left where the position of one’s drive is important.With heavy rough to the left and a wood to the right, the ideal spot is centre-right of the fairway.A medium-long iron should reach the green, which is again guarded by bunkers and falls away at the back and side to thick rough.12A straight forward par 4 hole with an out of boundsroad and a mid-fairway bunker to the right and thick trees to the left of the fairway which slopes to the road.As the green is elevated it is difficult to assess the distance but it should be reached with a medium/short iron.13To reach this hole one crosses the afore mentioned road and play back parallel to the previous hole;the road now being out of bounds on the right and deep rough to the left of the tee. A burn, crossing the fairway is a hazard for a long drive.The second shot to a green again guarded by bunkers.14This is the third par 3 on the card, of similar length to the 7th hole.The tee shot is of prime importance as bunkers, which trap many good shots, circle the green.15Well named, as a fairly high cliff faces one from the tee, thus producing a blind drive.The position of the tee makes it difficult to line up in order to keep the ball on the left of the fairway thus avoiding the out of bounds on the right. The second shot is blind toThe position of the tee makes it difficult to line up in order to keep the ball on the left of the fairway thus avoiding the out of bounds on the right. The second shot is blind to16As one crosses the road to the tee, which used to be called “Rothesay Pier”, there is an indicator built into the wall depicting some 54 hills and landmarks,which can be best seen from this point; Ben Lomond being prominent. A good drive is required to carry the gully on the left, which is the preferred line this opens up the green. Th17“A drive over the marker will take the ball to the left side of the fairway, which is the safer line.A downhill second shot played with medium/short iron can be either carried onto the green or dropped short and filtered in from the right.”
