The flat expanse of a field beside the fifth hole has long been used for sporting purposes, from the Downstrands Youngbloods football team in the early 1900’s to Rev. George Good’s cricket matches in the 50’s. Bernie McNelis of Castlegoland House mowed this meadow from 1950 until his passing in 1994.

Par 4 – 367m
This hole marks the start of the dune experience at Narin and Portnoo and features a dog-leg left par four to an elevated green. A pair of bunkers at the landing area will devour drives which deviate left. The second shot from the centre-right of the fairway must carry over a deep basin to reach the green. The putting surface slopes severely from left to right, so stay below the hole if possible.
