1The first hole is 393 yards from the medal tee and is a slight dog leg left to right.The fence running parallel to the fairway on the right marks the out of bounds. There are some gorse bushes at the corner of the dog leg. The proficient golfer will sail over them Bunkers protect the green front left, and to the right. Any drive which misses the fairway may introduce the wayward golfer to one of the regular features on the course – heather2Mostly played into the prevailing wind, the second hole at Southerness measures 450 yards.As you can see from the flyover and walkthrough (above), the heather gives way to another regular feature – gorse – and the fairway doglegs slightly to the left, with a fairway3The third hole is played over a burn which will only catch the head up shot. It measures 408 yards and has out of bounds to the right. Again there is a slight right to left dog legTwo fairway bunkers to the right can catch the pushed shot, and a triangle of three bunkers about 50 yards short of the green call for the second shot to carry the whole distance.This is one of the few greens that will gather the ball. However a ball hit into the large mound of rough on the right will test a players ability to get down in two shots.4The fourth is the first of five par 3s.Measuring 169 yards to a plateau two tiered green this hole is fully visible, and should a hole in one be achieved the lucky golfer has the benefit of seeing his ball drop. There a5The fifth hole turns you round to the east,where you would normally find the wind in your favour. This is a 496 yard par 5. A fairway bunker is strategically placed to catch a ball hit to the left.Some yards from the tee a burn runs left and right from the fairway, but is ducted under the fairway itself. The hole then dog legs to the left and the fairway is of the hogs back 6The 405 yard sixth hole turns west and the burn is encountered again, only as an open water hazard this time.This lies some 270 yards from the tee and the long hitter must be wary. Into the wind the burn can catch out a less than well struck second shot. The green has a bunker to the left7The seventh hole is a first class one shotter of 215 yards, played normally with a cross wind.A series of 3 bunkers string towards the green to the left, and a wicked pot bunker sits tucked into the front right of the green. This hole is played north to south and gives a fi8The eighth hole turns east again and at 371 yards is the shortest of the par 4s.A bank runs along the right hand side which will kick your ball into grassy rough. Heather and gorse abound on the left side of the fairway. The green is well guarded by bunkers sh9The ninth hole is another good two shotter measuring 435 yards, particularly if there is an east wind.There is a bunker to the left, 100 yards short of the green, and a cluster of 3 bunkers to the right 60 yards short of the green. Heather abounds right and left and again there is 10The tenth hole (captured at sunrise in the aerial flyover here) is a pleasant but well-guarded 168 yard par 3.The green, which is at an angle to the tee, is surrounded by 7 bunkers and a full carry is required. This hole varies tremendously with the strength and direction of the wind.11The tee shot from the 390 yard eleventh hole is played over some fearsome whins,and must be carried to a fairway set at a slight angle. Again there is heather right and left, and the burn at 30 yards from the green will catch out a poor second shot or an over This green, with a deep bunker at the right side, is prO-Bably one of the most sloping greens on the course.12The twelfth hole is generally regarded as the best hole on the course. This is a 421 yard par four with a left to right dog leg.Fairway bunkers right and left require an accurate tee shot. Having split the fairway the hole then opens out to view a green, protected by bunkers on the right, a pond to the leftThe forward view on playing the hole is the simmering Solway Firth, and a large sandy bay opens out to the right as you progress towards the green. A truly memorable hole.13At the thirteenth, finding yourself on an elevated tee beside the shore, you face a 467 yard par four.Two fairway bunkers await a tee shot hit left, and the fairway has semi rough encroaching from the right hand side. There is a ditch left and right of the hole, 80 yards short of tAnother bunker short right of the green is compensated by generally favourable bounces from the left hand side. The length makes this a formidable hole.14Turning to face west again the fourteenth, at 458 yards,requires another long iron or fairway wood second shot. There is one fairway bunker 100 yards short of the green to the right,and bunkers right and left of the green. Heather proliferates the whole way up the left, with large areas of gorse to the right.15The fifteenth is another good par 3 of 217 yards.The fairway bunkers should be carried, but bunkers right and left of the green call for an accurate tee shot. Too long from the tee could land you with more gorse trouble.16The sixteenth is a slight dog leg from right to left which tempts the brave shot, but any imperfections with this will call for a reload.Once again there is gorse to the left and heather to the right. There are only two bunkers on the right hand side of this fairway and no bunkers near the green.The natural terrain however makes for tricky shots from only five yards off the green on three sides.17The last of the par 3s, the seventeenth is a lovely 175 yard hole, with no bunkers at all. The elevated green, however, is difficult to hold.The last of the par 3s, the seventeenth is a lovely 175 yard hole, with no bunkers at all. The elevated green, however, is difficult to hold.18The 495 yards par 5 eighteenth, turns back eastwards and can be reached in two by the long hitters. Once again the drive must be accurate to keep out of heather left and right. ThiFairway bunkers right and left, some 60 yards short of the green also come into play.
