Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name
From The Tee A par 3 that gives the best of golfers a tough introduction Reay Golf Course.
From The Fairway Most players are out with the ‘big dog’ hoping to reach this green. To the right of the tight fairway lies rough ground (the ‘Sahara’) which leads to the 4th tee. To the left, just beyond the clubhouse, is out of bounds and if a player manages to reach the green there is always the possibilty of rolling over the ridge to the right and back of the green.
On The Green
Hole 2
Hole Name
From The Tee A long, tough par 4 second hole that plays into the prevailing wind.
From The Fairway With out of bounds directly to the left for a majority of the hole, this pushes most golfers into the rough to the right or even onto the 3rd fairway. Staying to the centre or left of the fairway is good, as there is a nasty bunker positioned on the right hand side of the green.
On The Green
Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee A short par 4 back towards the clubhouse, that normally plays down-wind. This is the chance to get your round off to a good start. The hole is flanked by extensive areas of deep rough to both the left and right.
From The Fairway A drive to the right centre of the fairway will set up a good approach to avoid the bunker short-right of the green, but watch out for a stray drive off the 2nd tee as you approach your ball.
On The Green
Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee The first par 5 and the longest hole on the course, a good three shots are needed to reach this green, especially into the prevailing wind.

Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee Braid’s favourite hole on the course. A dog-leg par 5 that’s reachable in two for those who want to take the risk with the Reay Burn surrounding the green.

Hole Name
From The Tee The toughest hole on the back nine.

Hole Name
From The Tee This is supposed to be the easiest hole on the course, but with 3 bunkers surrounding
