Hole 8

8th - Mournes

Men – Par 3, 158 yards, SI 16

Ladies – Par 3, 149 yards, SI 17

 

The first par 3 is straightforward looking and will reward an accurate shot provided you have given careful thought to club selection. Drift left and, at best, you’ll be in a deep greenside bunker or, at worst, out of bounds. Hit long and the slope behind the green will possibly take you out of bounds. Many players are known to bail out right here, especially in a strong right to left wind, and rely on a pitch and putt for a 3.

 

Insider Tip

A tricky par 3. Right half of the green is your best shot.
