Tara of the Kings
Description

Aim down the left. From the tee it can look very narrow but there is a surprisingly amount of space beyond the trees. Avoid the fairway bunker at all costs.

Bridge Of Desire
Description

A short par four. A fairway wood is often a good choice off the tee. It’s quite a narrow fairway. A good fairway wood will bring you well within range with a mid iron.

The Harp That Once
Description

The toughest hole on the nine. The big hitters can take on the spinney. Otherwise go right of it. This will leave you with a long approach. The green is also further back than it appears from the fairway. There is a lot of hidden ground between the top of the hill and the green.
