Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name
From The Tee Barcraig - The first is a long par 4, normally into the prevailing westerly wind.
From The Fairway A good drive to the right centre of the fairway should leave a long iron or fairway wood for the second. Most local players treat the 1st as a par 5!
On The Green
Hole 2
Hole Name
From The Tee Ramphorlie - Drive over the hill, aim for the marker post.
From The Fairway
On The Green A good drive should leave a short iron onto the green below guarded by bunkers on the left and right.
Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway Farl - Drive should be slightly left of centre to allow the natural contours to sweep the ball back to the middle of the fairway.
On The Green This should leave a short iron approach to a long green with bunkers on the left, right and at the back.
Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee Harelaw - The first of the three par 5s.
From The Fairway An uphill drive which should err to the left, thereby avoiding the heavier rough on the right. A long iron/fairway wood second should set up a short pitch to the green.

Hole 5
Hole Name
From The Tee The Covert - A lovely par 3 and one of the best on the course.
From The Fairway
On The Green The wind direction will dictate which club to use as you aim for a green protected on either side by bunkers. The burn awaits any truly wayward shot too far right!
Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee Carselaverock - The second of the par 5s.
From The Fairway The drive should be left of centre of the fairway as it naturally slopes from left to right.
On The Green With a westerly wind the green is reachable in two. Regardless of the wind, however, this hole is a birdie opportunity.
Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee The Dam - A long and tricky par 3 with out of bounds in the loch on the right. A hidden bunker on the left must also be avoided if a par or better is to be achieved here.
From The Fairway
On The Green
Hole 8
Hole Name
From The Tee Locherfield - Driver off of the tee brings the out of bounds tight on the right into play, but an accurate drive could get very close to the green.
From The Fairway Alternatively, a long iron/fairway wood off the tee, avoiding the bunker on the left, leaves a short pitch to the green.

Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee Quarry Knowe - Stroke Index 1, this uphill par 4 is a tough challenge.
From The Fairway Trees and out of bounds on the right are to be avoided off the tee as is the bunker to the left of the fairway.
On The Green The green itself is protected to the left and back by more trees. A tough finish to the outward 9.
Hole 10
Hole Name
From The Tee Misty Law - Aim over the marker post with your drive.
From The Fairway
On The Green The wind direction will again dictate the club for the second shot, though the hole normally plays into the prevailing westerly wind. There are bunkers to the left of the long green and one short of the green on the right.
Hole 11
Hole Name
From The Tee Auchensale - The last of the par 5s.
From The Fairway The drive should be right centre of the fairway as the fairway slopes right to left.
On The Green A good second shot should leave you with a short pitch to the green, protected on either side by bunkers.
Hole 12
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway Shillingworth - The two fairway bunkers are evident from the tee.
On The Green Avoid these to set up a relatively long approach. Better to be short than long with the second shot as out of bounds runs right behind the green.
Hole 13
Hole Name
From The Tee Lawmarnock - A short par 3 but finding the green is imperative and avoiding the several greenside bunkers is recommended!

Hole 14
Hole Name
From The Tee Tinker's Wood - A blind drive, aim over the marker post.
From The Fairway
On The Green Wayward shots on the right will be out of bounds. A good drive leaves a tricky second shot to an elevated green with greenside bunkers lurking.
Hole 15
Hole Name
From The Tee The Ben - A drive to the top of the hill allows a view of the green below in front of the Clubhouse.
From The Fairway
On The Green A tricky sloping green can catch you out, particularly if you finish above the hole.
Hole 16
Hole Name
From The Tee The Mound - You’ll definitely remember this hole after playing it!
From The Fairway
On The Green An uphill par 3 requiring a long iron/fairway wood to get to the green. Tee shots hit short and right of the marker post will be in danger of finding the ditch which surrounds the Castle Motte. A par here will feel like a birdie!
Hole 17
Hole Name
From The Tee Castle Knowe - An excellent hole with wonderful views.
From The Fairway A fairway wood off of the tee to avoid the out of bounds on the left.
On The Green Have a good look before hitting your second to scope out the large ravine before the green.
Hole 18
Hole Name
From The Tee Ravine - A par 3 finish back across the ravine with bunkers on the left and right. A good hole to finish your round.
