How to Play This Hole
The safe play off the tee is down the left side, although this makes the hole play even longer. A long approach should also favor the left side. Conservative play will allow you to be happy with a par on the most difficult hole on the The Irish.

-
No. 1 – High Ground
A generous landing area for the opening hole leads way to a long-narrow elevated green.
-
No. 2 – Giant's Leap
Safety first is the motto on the short par 4 second. A tee shot in the fairway is a must if you expect to hold the narrow front-to-back green.
-
No. 3 – Sleeper
The bunker and pond on the left create an intimidating short iron shot into the large undulating green.
-
No. 4 – Sandbanks
Bunker left and bunker right may be your thought on the tee box of this lengthy par 4, but don’t be intimidated. It is a generous fairway if positioned well.
-
No. 5 – Devil's Elbow
Long hitters can cut the corner on this reachable par 5; a split fairway for the second can create a difficult layup.
-
No. 6 – Mulligan's Watch
Stay calm as you prepare to hit this unique island green surrounded by one very large bunker.
-
No. 7 – Troll
A short dogleg right can be attacked from almost any angle on this generous fairway. The large two-tiered green is protected by two very deep bunkers in the rear.
-
No. 8 – Garden Creek
This split fairway par 5 invites you to go for the green in two, but beware of the large fairway bunker and false front that surrounds the large undulating green.
-
No. 9 – Last Gaspe
A winding creek creates visual intimidation as it cuts the fairway in two, then again on the approach as it dashes across the front of the green.
-
No. 10 – Shepherd's Post
This slight dogleg left looks a lot longer than it plays, gradually climbing to one of the highest points on the property.
-
No. 11 – Lamb Chop
Club selection is difficult on this treacherous par 3. The left side of the green is home to a couple of the deepest pot bunkers on the course.
-
No. 12 – Highland Trek
Check out the great views of Lake Michigan and The Straits from the highest point on The Irish while teeing off to the valley below.
-
No. 13 – Blind Man's Bluff
The name describes it all on this multilevel, double-tee par 3 leading to the largest green on The Irish.
-
No. 14 – Tullamore Dew
A tee box in the farthest northwest corner of the property, this tricky risk/reward par 5 is among the most scenic on the back nine.
-
No. 16 – Deep Dye
Among the most undulating of the greens on The Irish, the pin location is key here. Trust your tee line as intimidation is definitely a factor.
-
No. 17 – Irish Mist
This short par 4 wraps around the beautiful pond creating a difficult tee shot. If intimidation is in your blood, bail out to the right.
-
No. 18 – Black and Tan
The skinny winding fairway of this par 5 snakes to the left of the mound in the fairway. A miss to the right of this green will give the best chance for a par.
