  • Red Tees – 119 yards

Pro's Tip

Great par 3 no room for error here trouble  all sides of the green, the only bail out shot is short left and space at the right side of the green but watch out there is a deep bunker left of the green so getting club right is important here. 2 tier green if pin at the back can be a long putt to get onto top level.

Another accurate tee shot required as the fairway narrows, an excellent hole to finish the

13th - "Whigmaleerie"

  • Par 4 – stroke Index 3
  • White tees – 398 yards
  • Yellow Tees – 377 yards
  • Red Tees – 350 yards

Pro's Tip

Long strong Par 4 so a solid tee shot is required or maybe more for position. Don’t be too long and left as to avoid running into the pond, bit of course management required here, Watch out for hidden bunkers protecting right side of green, again dont be too bold as over the back is not the place to be. The green has large swail in the middle which gathers the ball most times.

14th tee - get over the brow of the hill and the fairway runs down giving you a good view of the green

  • Yellow Tees – 339 yards
  • Red Tees – 327 yards

Pro's Tip

Short Par 4 with trouble on both sides 13th hole on the leftand trees on the right , its a blind tee shot with fairway bunkers to contend with if you miss them its a straight forward pitch into the green which is generally flat, Remmeber to RING the BELL.  

15th tee - out of bounds left so don't try and hug this side too much

  • White tees – 330 yards
  • Yellow Tees – 290 yards
  • Red Tees – 255 yards

Pro's Tip

Straight hole but keep left as ther is more room than you can see as it is a blind tee shot , the rough has been cut back down the left side so  should help the playabilty of this hole , only 2 bunkers at the green, 2 tier green with big slope back to front be careful on windy dry days very fast green. 

16th a true risk and reward tee shot - go for it and its drive-able if you clear the ditch just short

16th - "Green Welltree"

  • Par 4 – stroke Index 17
  • White tees – 306 yards
  • Yellow Tees – 283 yards
  • Red Tees – 278 yards

Pro's Tip

Short par 4 tempting to go for a long draw round the corner, but be aware of O.B. left and the ditch about 30yds short of the green , fairway bunker waiting to catch you down the right  side with 2 more protecting the 2 tier green, if you dont get a birdie here you think you have dropped a shot. 

17th tee - slight dog leg to left, nice bunker to catch the errant tee shot

17th - "Scunner"

  • Par 4 – stroke Index 5
  • White tees – 348 yards
  • Yellow Tees – 333 yards
  • Red Tees – 316 yards

Pro's Tip

Good all round hole again big hitters can cut off quite bit round the corner  with cunning fairway bunker placement left and right . A right to left tee shot will be rewarded big wide fairway though. Green protected by 1 bunker on the left side always a difficult green to read, 

One more straight drive required, try and get past the big tree in the fairway

18th - "Hame Heft"

  • Par 4 – stroke Index 9
  • White tees – 412 yards
  • Yellow Tees – 362 yards
  • Red Tees – 316 yards

Pro's Tip

A superb finishing hole named “haste ye back” tee shot gives great satisfaction here, big tree in the centre of the fairway which if you are slightly left gives you the best angle to attack the green but watch out going down the right side bunkers there to catch the wayward shots, generous fairway once you get past the big tree, 2 tier green protected by 2 bunkers.

Enjoy the views as you walk up to the final green and the 19th Hole and we hope you have enjoyed the challenge of Craibstone today and we see you back on the fairways again soon.
