Hole 9 Discussion

Inchcolm is a beautiful, long, downhill par 4 for men (5 for women). The island it’s named after is visible just off the coast of Fife. The fairway bulges to the left side a bit, the hole effectively plays straight along the right edge of the fairway. There are two fairway bunkers barely reachable for most players, one on each side of the fairway.

The approach plays into a dangerously bunkered green. It’s quite narrow in the front, and any miss there will be in the sand. Get close on the approach and you’ll be rewarded.
