Hole 5

Foirfeachd | Par 4.

“Perfection” by name and one of the tougher driving holes on The Machrie Links. 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.
