The Course

The course from the championship blue tees is 6707 yards, par 72. The respective lengths from the medal and forward tees are 6544 yards & 6063 yards respectively, not forgetting the ladies with a par 73 5636 yards.

There is only 1 tree on Castletown Golf Links & no deep dunes to seek shelter from the sea breezes. There are so many outstanding holes, from the 3 par 3’s each one very different, from the wind effecting the 8th 166 yards to the short 13th 133 Yards guarded by bunkers to the 16th 185 Yards a shaped left to right shot. We boast our very own ‘Road hole’, which even the great Greg Norman now treats with respect. This hole only measures 423 yards with a left to right shaped fairway with all the terrain running to the out of bounds road and the beach and sea beyond. With a fabulous bank of yellow gorse (in spring time) down the entire left hand side of the fairway there is nowhere to escape to. Picking your spot for your drive is not for the faint hearted. As once quoted by the famous Formula 1 driver ‘ only the best drivers live on the Isle Of Man’. So you are in the perfect position on the fairway, well there are only your second or third shots now to worry about with the same technical difficulties. Another hole of great discussion at the 19th will always be the 17th. This hole is called ‘the Gully’ Take your drive imagine you are ‘Tiger’ with his 9 Iron and boom a 200yard drive over a deep chasm… rocks and frothy water await the miss hit shot.
