A lone bunker protects the front right side. 13, 194 YARDS, PAR 3: The green is set well back among the dunes and is oblong in shape, so club selection will be critical to get the tee shot within birdie range, and the sand hills block the left side of the green. 12, 449 YARDS, PAR 4: The sloping fairway tends to throw the ball to the right toward two bunkers as the hole turns left toward a raised green, which is surrounded by mounds and hollows. Two front bunkers are positioned to cut into more of the putting surface. It is called “Punch Bowl” because the green is surrounded by dunes on all sides, with the putting surface angled sharply to the right. 11, 392 YARDS, PAR 4: This is the first of four holes that run along the shore of the Irish Sea. The hole is called “Far,” not so much for its length but because it’s the farthest point from the clubhouse. The putting surface falls away to the left. Players must avoid the lone bunker at the front right of the green and a deep swale on the left. This played as a par 5 in 20 and now is only 25 yards shorter and plays as a par 4. 10, 507 YARDS, PAR 4: Out-of-bounds looms down the left side of the fairway, especially with the prevailing wind coming from the right off the Irish Sea. The wind typically is from the left, and the green is surrounded by humps and hollows. The bunker on the right is designed to collect shots that are slightly off. 9, 218 YARDS, PAR 3: The green is narrow and set beyond two bunkers on both sides of the entrance. The second shot is straightforward to a large green protected by three bunkers. 8, 435 YARDS, PAR 4: This plays into the prevailing wind and requires a slightly blind tee shot over bushes to a landing area with gorse on the left and a bunker to the right.
