This is the last of the inland holes on the first nine, and only the better players are able to reach the green in the regulation. There is a shallow ditch 80 yards short of the green ready to catch the player lacking in course management. Two bunkers protect the green and out of bounds looms to the rear.
This is the first hole of the links part of the course. Although, it is not a long hole, an accurate tee shot is necessary to avoid thick gorse flanking the fairway left and right. The frequent facing prevailing wind is also a factor.
A very wide fairway awaits the tee shot but the green is hidden behind two grass-covered mounds when taking the second shot making club selection difficult.
A very testing ‘short hole’ which requires a precise shot to hit the green. The green is well guarded by two deep-faced front bunkers and two bunkers to the right. The Tanbwlch cottage at the rear of the green makes this a picturesque hole.
This hole has an elevated tee with magnificent views in all directions. One can see Snowdon to the northeast, the Cader Idris range of Meirionydd to the southeast, St. Tudwal Islands to the southwest and, on a clear day, the Preseli Mountains of Pembrokeshire to the south. Again, a good tee shot could set up a ‘birdie chance’.
This is one of the ‘easier’ holes on the course. The green is set in the elbow of the river, which guards the left, and the rear of the green. A bunker awaits the safety shot to the right.
