5TH HOLE

Foirfeachd

Named “Perfection”, as well as being spectacular this is one of the tougher driving holes on the Machrie. A good tee shot must fly directly over the marker pole; even slightly right means the approach will be blind. From the ideal spot on the three-tiered fairway, the second-shot is in contrast welcoming, downhill to a
green nestled under the maiden dune. Watch out too, for the ridge running through the middle of the large green. Putting from the “wrong” side is never easy.
