A scenic par 3 with sweeping views over Belfast Lough—Ailsa Craig and the Scottish coast visible on clear days. Though it can play shorter than the carded distance, the prevailing wind often flips the script, sometimes adding several clubs. Accuracy matters: trees guard the left, bunkers flank both sides of the green, and thick rough lurks beyond.
A committed tee shot is essential to keep the score intact on this picturesque yet demanding hole. On a still day it feels inviting, but the breeze off the Lough can swirl and make club selection tricky. Trust your number, flight the ball to a spot, and avoid second-guessing—hesitation here finds trouble fast.
