Colt Course
Hole 1: Greenlands
One of the recurring subtleties of Colt designs is that the fairway is only half the width it appears.
As part of the recent Revitalization Programme the green has been extended to the right.
Tee | Yards | Metres | Par | Index |
blue | 398 | 364 | 4 | 9 |
white | 366 | 335 | 4 | 9 |
green | 366 | 335 | 4 | 9 |
red | 377 | 345 | 4 | 9 |
Hole 2: Barr na Séide
As part of the recent Revitalization Programme the green has been extended to the right and a new large bunker has been added to the left fairway. A short drive up the left hand side (LHS) of the fairway is a good play that will leave approx. 100 yds to the green.

red | 284 | 260 | 4 | 5 |
Hole 3: Metal Man
As part of the recent Revitalization Programme a new green has been added a further 65 yards behind the old one making this a true Par 5. Favour the RHS of the fairway from the tee. Danger lurks left and right when going for it in 2. A lay-up over the road is a smart play leaving a short iron to this tricky green.

green | 548 | 501 | 5 | 8 |
red | 500 | 457 | 5 | 7 |
Hole 4: Gan Gaineamh
One of the great Par 3’s in the world with no bunkers … Gan Gaineamh translates to “without sand”. Anything short or right is a very difficult up and down. Left is a good miss from the tee.

green | 164 | 150 | 3 | 11 |
red | 135 | 123 | 3 | 15 |
Hole 5: The Jump
A great driving hole but favour the left hand side of the fairway. There is a hidden dip containing bunkers just short of the green.

blue | 540 | 494 | 5 | 18 |
white | 489 | 447 | 5 | 18 |
green | 466 | 426 | 5 | 18 |
red | 455 | 416 | 5 | 17 |
Hole 6: Bomore
A tough driving hole with OB all along the RHS and bunkers to the left. The fairway also slopes slightly left to right so a sliced drive will find trouble. Do not miss the green on LHS

blue | 447 | 409 | 4 | 6 |
white | 400 | 356 | 4 | 6 |
green | 372 | 340 | 4 | 6 |
red | 351 | 320 | 4 | 3 |
Hole 7: Ewing’s Profile
A straight par 4 that looks benign but trouble awaits any errant approach with a cavernous burn protecting the green. Favour the LHS of green with your approach.
Tee | Yards | Metres | Par | Index |
blue | 431 | 394 | 4 | 1 |
white | 421 | 385 | 4 | 1 |
green | 421 | 385 | 4 | 1 |
red | 416 | 380 | 5 | 11 |
Hole 8: The Churn
A left to right dog-leg requires a good tee-shot. New bunkers have been added to the RHS as part of the recent revitalisation which will severely punish any greedy corner-cutting. A hidden dip short of the green make the approach seem shorter than it is.

green | 409 | 376 | 4 | 4 |
red | 378 | 346 | 4 | 1 |
Hole 9: Cast a Cold Eye
A wonderful par 3 that requires an accurate tee-shot. The green is well protected by deep bunkers short and right and a treacherous run-off area to the right.

blue | 167 | 153 | 3 | 13 |

red | 104 | 95 | 3 | 13 |
Hole 10: Benbulben
A new championship tee and extended green have added during the recent revitalisation making a stern test for the start of the back nine. Favour LHS of fairway to get a good view of the green for the approach.

red | 378 | 345 | 4 | 6 |
Hole 11: Lissadell
A tough par 4 into the prevailing wind. The fairway slopes quite severely from left to right so favour the left hand side. Any approach missing short or right will have trouble making par

green | 391 | 358 | 4 | 3 |
red | 341 | 311 | 4 | 4 |
Hole 12: Lighthouse
A testing par 5 into the prevailing wind with a landing zone well protected by bunkers left and right. A long drive finding the left hand side of the fairway give an opportunity to see the green for the second shot.

red | 461 | 421 | 5 | 14 |
Hole 13: Wrynne Point
A picturesque par 3 playing from a height to a green surrounded by water and bunkers. The middle of the green is a good play from the tee.

red | 144 | 131 | 3 | 14 |
Hole 14: Mahon’s Burn
This double dogleg par 4 requires a good teeshot to find a generous fairway but the burn beckons for anything too long on the left hand side. Beware of the false front on this green and bunker on LHS.

red | 374 | 342 | 5 | 8 |
Hole 15: Through the Gap
Long hitters may take on the hill on the right hand side from the tee giving a short approach. The bunkers to the left of the green are to be avoided as is anything over the back of the green.

Hole 16: Knocknarea
The last of the par 3s and probably the toughest. Anything missing right will struggle.

Hole 17: The Gallery
A decision is required on the tee as to whether to play to the end of the fairway or “have a go” and get sufficiently far enough past the end of the fairway. The RHS of the fairway gives maximum visibility of this treacherous green sloping from back to front. Take plenty of club for the approach

green | 422 | 386 | 4 | 2 |
red | 375 | 343 | 5 | 16 |
Hole 18: Christy’s Farm
A blind teeshot requires picking the correct line which, for long hitters, is the right edge of the fairway. The carry is shorter on the LHS. The middle of the green is a good objective for the approach.
