2 Fisherman Fore 172 164 3 7 159 3 15

Tips: Elevated tee box on this Par 3, downwind plays a club less than yardage, best line slightly left of flag allowing for bounce to the right. The low depression in the centre of the green can be tricky when putting across it.

4 Water Jump 350 321 4 5 242 4 5

Tips: The hardest hole on the course requires a good tee shot allowing you to reach the green in two. The green is elevated and deceptively long, depending upon pin position use enough club to carry to the flag.

6 Binevenagh 402 378 4 3 402 5 9

Tips: Fairway falls from right to left with many hazards along the left. Try and place your tee shot down the right to allow for this. Then choose to go for the green or lay up for a safe bogey.

10 The Pulpit 195 191 3 4 141 3 14

Tips: The Pulpit, the most challenging par 3 on the course. The shielded elevated tee can give false impression of both wind and distance. Requires a long tee shot onto the bunker protected green.

11 Shanks 336 321 4 12 273 4 8

Tips: The Signature hole, River Faughan all along the right, prevailing wind normally off the left. Centre to right of fairway off the tee will leave the best line in for your approach to the bunker protected green.
