Hole 1 : Long Carry Medal Yards 370 Par 4
A long carry over ditches and rushes to a relatively broad
fairway. Supported with a forward ladies tee. |
Hole 2 : Road Hole Medal Yards 349 Par 4
The main New Cumnock-Cumnock road out of bounds to the
right. But long gone are the days of waiting on the pit buses going past before teeing off with confidence! Wee burn |
Hole 3 : Lochside Medal Yards 280 Par 4
Teeing-off from the Lochside House road-end with out of
bounds on the right again. The Loch o' th' Lowes lies ahead. |
Hole 4 : Railway Medal Yards 361 Par 4
Yes, out of bounds on the right again, but the main Glasgow-
Carlisle railway line is well off the beaten track. Nice wee burn to cross over on the way to a fine green. |
Hole 5 : The Burn Medal Yards 412 Par 4
The longest hole on the golf course with a deep burn to the right.
There is a smaller burn to negotiate that cuts across the fairway before a small knowe and then on to a hidden green. |
Hole 6 : The Hollow Medal Yards 180 Par 3
The first par 3 with the hidden green nestling in a hollow with a
mini-woodland to the left , bunkers to the front and a burn beyond. |
Hole 7 : Old Clubhouse Medal Yards 323 Par 4
Fairway sweeps uphill and over a ridge to a hidden green that sits in
the shadow of the old clubhouse. A reminder of the days when the greenkeepers duties included switching in the electric-fences that once surrounded the greens to keep the sheep off ! |

Hole 8 : Loch View Medal Yards 250 Par 4
Uphill all the way to the highest point on the golf-course. Sink the putt
and enjoy the view of the Southern Uplands and the Loch o' th' Lowes. |
Hole 9 : The Ditches Medal Yards 141 Par 3
The shortest hole on the golf-course but you need to carry the ditches
and the green rashes-o to find the heart of the green . Then start again New Cumnock New Cumnock so good you place it twice !! |
