Course Highlight
The signature hole is the par 4 5th, hitting from an elevated tee down to a tight sloping fairway. From the tee you’ll feel like you’re on top of the world, with Loch Ryan to your right, the hole borders the shoreline for an intimidating tee shot. The green is slightly elevated and is guarded by a bunker on the right and a famous Braid Mound on the left.
