Hole 1
Hole Name
From The Tee Our opening hole provides a testing start to every round, even more so if the wind is blowing.
From The Fairway A relatively tight fairway bordered by out of bounds and thick rough to the left with trees and thick rough to the right.

Hole 2
Hole Name
From The Tee Wind is a critical factor on this hole making it play longer when the wind blows from the south and east and shorter when it blows from the north and west.

Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee On account of Scottish Golf’s recent adoption of the World Handicap System, our newly crowned stroke index 1 off the men’s tees.
From The Fairway The fairway curves adjacent to the beach with out of bounds located all the way from tee to green.
On The Green Hitting to the left of the tree generates a blind second shot. The approach to the green is protected by a small mound, uneven terrain and by two bunkers.
Hole 5
Hole Name
From The Tee The tee shot from the shore is affected by wind in any direction and requires imagination to beat the elements.
From The Fairway
On The Green The green slopes from right to left with a well-placed bunker positioned to collect shots that fail to hold the green.
Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway As with the 4th hole, the fairway runs parallel to the shore. Draw the ball from the tee out over the out of bounds or play safe by hitting a fade towards the 7th fairway.
On The Green
Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee Despite the lack of length, this is a demanding hole because of prevailing left to right cross winds,
From The Fairway strategically placed fairway bunkers and the gorse bushes located on two sides of the green.
On The Green
Hole 8
Hole Name
From The Tee A short par 4, driveable for some but protected by one of the most challenging greens on the course.
From The Fairway
On The Green A short par 4, driveable for some but protected by one of the most challenging greens on the course.
Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee An elevated tee provides wonderful views of Luce Bay and the Rhins of Galloway peninsula.
From The Fairway The fairway is wide with one bunker on either side and then narrows to a
On The Green sheltered green protected by the hillock that houses the 12th tee.
Hole 10
Hole Name
From The Tee Our 10th hole runs parallel to the 9th. If one is playing longer, the other benefits from the same wind direction.
From The Fairway
On The Green
Hole 11
Hole Name
From The Tee The shortest of the par 4s that dominate the outlying part of the course. In terms of wind directions, our 11th hole always plays similarly off the tee to the 9th.
From The Fairway
On The Green
Hole 12
Hole Name
From The Tee Definitely a candidate for signature hole. A classic, risk and reward dog leg, gives golfers a decision to make on the tee.
From The Fairway Aim left down the fairway, to leave a longer second shot? Or aim right and over the out of bounds, for a wedge to the green?
On The Green
Hole 13
Hole Name
From The Tee The second of our par 3’s may be short on yards but it is not lacking difficulty.
From The Fairway
On The Green Out of bounds to the right and gorse bushes all the way to the green on the left mean wayward shots can result in a reload. The green has a spine that runs from front to back, creating two tiers. The pin is normally located on the lower section of the green.
Hole 14
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway A short par 4 where the prevailing south-westerly winds blow from the left, across the fairway and add to the challenge of
On The Green finding the best line for the approach shot to an elevated and sloping green.
Hole 15
Hole Name
From The Tee Long hole is the best description for our 15th.
From The Fairway A lone bunker sits on the left hand side of the fairway before the 200 yards marker. However, the small wood of trees, right of the fairway, again just before the same yardage marker is more of a danger.

Hole 16
Hole Name
From The Tee Our 16th is another risk and reward dog leg.
From The Fairway Drive over the trees situated on the corner of the dog leg and leave a short approach shot to the green or drive onto the fairway left of the trees to leave a longer second shot.
On The Green The green is protected by two bunkers and there is a gentle slope running from front to back.
Hole 17
Hole Name
From The Tee Our last par 3 is very different from the other two on the course.
From The Fairway
On The Green Our 17th hole often plays significantly differently from one day to the next. The green has a front tier, testing both touch and technique when tee shots do not quite make the putting surface.

Hole 18
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway
On The Green The camber in front of the green throws up unpredictable bounces for approach shots, even when these are played with shorter irons.
