Hole 1

Hole Name

From The Tee A challenging opening hole, the ladies tee is 30Yards ahead of the mens. But an easier hole second time around for the men with the yellow tee forward.

From The Fairway The fairway is slightly undulating and at each side of the fairway there are lateral water hazards. On the left is out of bounds, and on the right the grassed ditches can sometimes be played out of. Further along on the right there is a water hazard surrounded by trees. With luck a shot to the green is often possible from here.

On The Green There's a shallow swale in front of the green with steep run-off grass banks to the left and beyond.

Hole 2

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway The signature hole of the course, with the Ullapool River breaking into the fairway, creating a lateral water hazard on the left.

On The Green The hole is named after An Teallach mountain seen from these elevated tees, across the loch to the hills beyond. This is an interesting hole with anything between a driver and a wedge required from the tee, depending on wind direction. The red tee is 50 Yards ahead as is the yellow 11th tee, and this tee shot needs to clear the bank of gorse bushes which create a drop of 30 feet to the fairway. A

Hole 3

Hole Name

From The Tee A narrow fairway, sloping to the left, with banks of gorse on the right, and the loch and beach (LWH) on the left.

From The Fairway The 12th tees provide a more difficult angle to the fairway, which brings the rough bank on the right into play. Too far to the left, over the high gorse hedge, and a long ball can run out of fairway onto the beach.

On The Green These holes can provide a daunting prospect from both tees, especially in high winds. Lucky golfers have watched their ball hit the beach and bounce back onto the fairway! The red 3rd tee is 70Yards further forward and extra distance can be gained by reaching the swale 100 Yards from the green. Not much room for error with a shot to the large green with a steep bank of gorse to the right, the beac

Hole 4

Hole Name

From The Tee The second of the short Par 3 holes, the elevated tees create a 20 foot drop to

From The Fairway the fairway and gorse bushes cover the first 50 yards. A slightly longer Par 3 from the higher teeing ground for the yellow tee, and considerably longer from the red.

On The Green Two bunkers protect the green which requires a brave shot to avoid the grass and heather bank on the right, and the steep drop to the beach (LWH) on the left. The large green has three levels with a raised middle terrace.

Hole 5

Hole Name

From The Tee With one of the finest views to the South, both tees are elevated and as the name of the hole suggests, the challenge is clearing the gully (WH) midway between the tee and green.

From The Fairway The wide fairway is upward sloping, and sets up an interesting shot up to the green which has two levels. Short and you could find the deepest bunker on the course, long and you could find the whins and gorse that shield the back of the green. From the 14th tee the hole is a different prospect with in particular,

On The Green the gorse area to the left of the gully coming into play, and a drive hit too far to the right can land on the 4th tee, leading to an interesting blind shot to the green.

Hole 6

Hole Name

From The Tee Dogleg to the left with a sloping fairway, and in dry conditions everything runs to the right.

From The Fairway A soft draw is the shot and long hitters might be tempted to cut the corner to the green. The wide fairway curves around a large heather, gorse and long grass covered mound.

On The Green This can come more into play from the 15th tee. Shots to the green are uphill with a final slope leading down to the putting area. Grass mounds around the back provide a natural shelter to the putting surface.

Hole 7

Hole Name

From The Tee The longest Par 4 on the course from the yellow tee at nearly 400 Yards, but a wide open

From The Fairway fairway, before the dogleg to the right. From the same teeing ground on the 7th, an ambitious Par 4 from the White tee and a Par 5 from the Red. A dogleg to the right and a good drive contends with a rough mound to the left and grassed mounds to the right. Second shots bring Alan's Garden into play – an area of heather, peat, ditches and trees on the right. Shorter hitters may play short of the na

On The Green the undulating fairway runs down to the green and in dry conditions the ball can run and run. To the left is a Dropping Zone for those who overshoot the green and can't take relief and a bell leaving the green can be rung to indicate the way is clear for players behind.

Hole 8

Hole Name

From The Tee The longest hole on the course, and a dogleg to the left. A slightly different position to play from these teeing grounds, but still a straight drive required to avoid the trouble on both sides. On the right is Alan's Garden again and a ball hit left may find a ditch (LWH) with the Out of Bounds practice area beyond.

From The Fairway This extends up the wide fairway with grass mounds to the right. At the corner at 250 Yards to the green is a shallow bunker with two more catching unwary shots at 60 Yards before the flat and true putting surface.

On The Green This is not a hole to hit long, as behind the mounds at the back of the green is a steep run-off into trees and heavy rough.

Hole 9

Hole Name

From The Tee Straight wide fairway leading back to the Clubhouse, Out of Bounds on the left and a ditch (WH) and rough ground on the right.

From The Fairway The last hole on the course presents a very narrow opening from the yellow tee with the trees and greenkeeper's shed forming a natural O-Bstacle to keep the ball right. The red tee is 50 yards forward and raised to give an excellent view up the fairway to the green. At 150Yards from the tee a road crosses the hole at an angle.

On The Green A rowan tree can impede a second shot on the left with a LWH ditch alongside the fairway, and to the right are two bunkers nestled in the grass banks. One of the trickiest multi-levelled greens, quartered on four levels, can be very easy or extremely hard depending on the pin position.
