Hole 1 – Carriage-way
Watch out for the two fairway bunkers on the right as they are hidden from the tee.
The Course
Designed by the famous Open Champion, James Braid.
Par: 70, Length in Yards: 6254, Course SSS: 70
Hole 2 – Stables
Tempting tee shot. Only try to carry bunkers left if there is a strong following wind.
Hole 3 – Easter Yett
Important to hit the fairway off the tee. Wayward tee shot leaves tight shot to pin position on the left and right sides of green.
Hole 4 – Laurels
Must stay left off the tee. Anything right will block you out from the green.
Hole 5 – Orchard
Play safe off the tee. Take a club which will leave you short of the bushes on the right hand side of the fairway.
Hole 6 – Mary Wright
Take one club more. The hole is made shorter by bunkers in front of the green.
Hole 7 – Arthur’s Seat
Take on more club for second shot, due to the dip in front of the green.
Hole 8 – Suthren Yett
You must stay to the left side of fairway off the tee to open up the green with your second shot.
Hole 9 – Jimmy Braid
When into the wind play as a three shot hole. The closer you are to the green in two shots, the more difficult the pitch shot.
Hole 10 – Morrison’s Haven
You cannot afford to go left off the tee. Take one more club for your second shot.
Hole 11 – Pony Park
You must favour the right side of the fairway, watch out for the fairway bunker on the corner of the dog-leg.
Hole 12 – The Gap
You cannot go left off the tee. Take one more club for your second shot.
Hole 13 – Blink O’ Forth
You must aim on the gap in the trees for the best line off the tee. Longer hitters should aim slightly to the right.
Hole 14 – The Gully
You cannot be short or left of the green. Take enough club, the hole looks shorter than it really is.
Hole 15 – The Glebe
The hardest hole on the course. Favour the right side of the fairway off the tee. If you have a good score going, be happy to make five.
Hole 16 – Hole Across
Make sure you take plenty of club. The bunker short of the green makes the hole look shorter.
Hole 17 – Auld Reekie
The further right you hit it off the tee, the harder the second shot.
Hole 18 – Prestongrange
Make sure you do not go right off the tee. Take enough club to carry the dip in front of the green.
