13TH HOLE

Dun

With good reason, this dogleg-left par-4 is rated the toughest hole on The Machrie. Dun, or ‘Fort’, invariably plays into the prevailing wind, so reaching the green in two is a challenge for even the strongest player. Even a good drive leaves a long and difficult approach into the flattest putting surface on the course, although the contours to the left can help feed the ball back towards the pin. If in doubt though, short is better than long.
