COURSE LAYOUT
A 9 hole links, but with a second set of tees that provides a fine 18 hole experience, set against some of the most stunning landscape backdrops you will see in the golfing world.
The 6th/15th is the only par five on the card and it’s a wonderful long hole, sweeping right around Loch Lanlish to the green. Fabulous though this hole undoubtedly is, the par three 9th /18th hole trumps it somewhat, as it calls for a tee shot to be played across a sea inlet to a small sand-protected green on the other side.
ABSOLUTE GEM!!
A gem of a course to play along the NC500
The 9 holes are a good test of any golfer with small greens and challenging rough off the fairway. Club hire available
