Hole by Hole

An opener that calls for a controlled tee shot up the rising fairway. The green slopes back to front.

Stroke index one. A long par four where two well-struck shots are needed to find the heart of the green.

A short par three played to a green protected by bunkers on either side.

A dog-leg right that rewards a positional drive down the left side of the fairway.

A reachable par five for the longer hitter. Beware the cross bunkers short of the green.

An uphill par four that plays a club longer than the yardage suggests.

A picturesque par three with views to the Greenock hills on a clear day.

A demanding par four lined by mature trees on both sides.

A teasing finishing hole to the front nine, played back towards the clubhouse.

Begins the back nine with a tee shot played past the historic Ralston House.

A short par four where placement is everything — water lurks short and right.

Three good shots are required to reach the green of this stout par five.

A par three played into a natural amphitheatre of a green.

Stroke index two. The fairway tilts left to right and demands a strong tee shot.

A scenic hole framed by stately beech trees down the right.

The shortest hole on the course, but with no margin for error.

A long par four played towards the clubhouse roofline in the distance.

A friendly finishing hole — but the green is well bunkered, so respect is due.
