| This translates from the Gaelic as ‘Swan Lake’. Clooney Lake borders the second hole on the right and is home to a pair of mute swans throughout the year. During the winter, with the arrival of migratory whooper swans, the population grows considerably. Their presence on the lake is a pleasure to behold.
Par 5 – 480m
The par five second follows the shore of Clooney Lake and features water hazards near the tee and behind the green. Big-hitters can make it in two but dangers abound! The drive is straight-forward, avoiding the water on the right and the drain 100 metres from the tee. Lay-up short of the bunkers with your second, leaving a short pitch to the well-guarded green. Beware of the drain and out-of-bounds at the rear of the green, so don’t be too aggressive.
