Hole 4 | "Woe-Be-Tide"

Par 3 | 168 Yards

Woe-Be-Tide is a light-hearted warning to be aware of the Firth of Clyde and other possible hazards on the left of the hole. The large eye-catching bunker short and right of the green should also be avoided at all costs. The green is bowl shaped and any ball hitting the surface should filter into the middle from either side. 

Perfect Play

004 Ailsa
The first par 3 on The Ailsa is a tricky hole that is normally played with a helping south westerly wind. This is a green that must be found from the tee as the deep bunker short right and the steep slope of rough to the left of the green make this a difficult par 3. A tee shot landing on the right side of this elevated green will gather towards the centre as will a tee shot landing on the left. The green is bowl shaped and all putts will break towards the sea but care must be taken from putts above the hole.
