Hole 1 Castle Leod 330 yds par 4			This hole is reckoned to be one of the most sporting in golf, despite being a modest 330 yards in length. That's because the drive from tee to green features the longest drop on any course in Scotland. Ideal position is left of the mound to allow clear pitch to the green. "Out of bounds" all the way down the right and behind the green.
Hole 2 Dyke 264 yds par 4			Uphill. Drive must be middle to left hand side of the fairway as the trees on the right block out second shot to the green.
Hole 3 Pavilion 197 yds par 3			First of the par threes. Accurate tee shot required across the pond. Driving past this sloping green gives very difficult second shot back.
Hole 4 Cairn 210 yds par 3			Tough par three. Ideal line to the green is up the left hand side of the fairway. The green can be tricky as it is on a knoll.
Hole 5 Short 123 yds par 3			Short steep downhill par three. High firm tee shot required as the sloping green is difficult to hold. Tee is top left on the picture.
Hole 6 Fence 181 yds par 3			Line to the green is from the right. Blind tee shot. Green is flat.
Hole 7 Rockies 288 yds par 4			Good tee shot required up the right hand side of the fairway this then allows you to use the bank at the back of the plateau green.
Hole 8 Terrace 317 yds par 4			Easy par four. Tee shot should be placed to the pot bunker on the left so that use can be made of the contours around the green.
Hole 9 Long 450 yds par 5			Long drive is required here if you hope to reach the two tiered green in two. Green can be difficult depending on the pin position.

Hole 10 High 159 yds par 3			Good short hole to small green across a pond. Tee shot must be up. Green is in a bowl. Difficult pitch if you miss green.
Hole 11 Kinellan 233 yds par 3			Tee shot must be down left side of fairway as everything falls to the green. Trouble all the way down the right with a bog and then a pond beside the green.
Hole 12 Flagstaff 281 yds par 4			Straight forward par four. Tee shot should be slightly right on fairway. Second shot depends on pin position as this is a two tiered green. Very hard to putt on in the summer.
Hole 13 Valley 313 yds par 4			Difficult dogleg. A long tee shot will carry the corner but an iron to the centre of the gap is favoured.
Hole 14 Target 151 yds par 3			Only flat hole on the course. Short with rough all the way to the green. Tee shot must be up.
Hole 15 Ord 475 yds par 5			Long difficult par four with blind second shot. Good drive required to set up second shot which must not be too long as there is "Out of bounds" behind the green.
Hole 16 Ulladale 370 yds par 4			Fairly easy par four where drive should be up right hand side of fairway. Second shot must be watched as a ditch crosses the fairway before the green.
Hole 17 Strath 291 yds par 4			Blind drive over the hill, once again down the right, easy pitch to a flat green.
Hole 18 Home 323 yds par 4			Good finishing hole. "Out of Bounds" all the way down the right including clubhouse and car park. Drive in to the dip to allow simple blind pitch to severely sloping green.
