Hole 3
The par 3 third is a tricky hole that requires a mid to long iron. It plays index 9 for the men and index 15 for the ladies. The green is bunkered front left and a pond short right catches several sliced tee shots. The River Robe runs adjacent to the rear of the green and this is OB.

Hole 8
The par 5 eight is a challenging hole which requires an accurate approach shot over a pond. Unless you get your ball in play off the tee, you will probably need to lay up short of the pond with your second and leave a long uphill appraoch to a well guarded green.

Hole 9
The 9th hole is a short par 4 which can offer up some respite to a challenging front nine. Once you get your ball in play, a short iron is all that is required to make the green.

Hole 13
This delightful hole is one of the signature holes in Ballinrobe.
This Par 3 features a lake short of the green that will punish “short” shots.
The green slopes from right to left which means that “up and downs” from any of the bunkers to the right of the green are quite rare.
A pot hole bunker short left of the green is not visible from the tee box.

The par 5 14th commands an accurate lay up shot for your approach. The fairway slopes to the right and can a strategically placed pond can swallow many mis-hit balls.
