| 2 The Roundels |
Medal | 4 | 316 | 11/12 |
The second tee is well positioned in a tree shrouded roundel from where you must negotiate a narrow fairway to a well positioned slightly elevated green. A short but testing par 4. |

| Forward Yellow | 4 | 264 | 11/12 | ||
| 3 Loch View |
Medal | 3 | 170 | 17/18 |
Not an easy par three with a green which slopes and two bunkers waiting to catch any wayward shots. The green is surrounded with mature trees and shrubs which give a superb burst of colour most of the year. |
| Forward Yellow | 3 | 138 | 17/18 | ||
| Ladies Red | 3 | 128 | 17/18 | ||
| 4 The Gallop |
Medal | 5 | 560 | 1/2 |
A real par five that with a Beech avenue down the right and rough and well positioned fairway bunkers down the left. |
| Forward Yellow | 5 | 507 | 1/2 | ||
| Ladies Red | 5 | 464 | 1/2 | ||
| 5 The North Terrace |
Medal | 3 | 160 | 13/14 |
A short par three with a small green and very threatening mature trees on the right. The green is elevated a demands an accurate tee shot to hold the green. Watch out for the two green-side bunkers. |
| Forward Yellow | 3 | 123 | 13/14 | ||
| Ladies Red | 3 | 114 | 13/14 | ||
| 6 Dalmartaig |
Medal | 5 | 445 | 5/6 |
A short par five but - not easy - with a ditch and bunkers protecting the green and with the prevailing wind against a par on this hole would do fine. |
| Forward Yellow | 4 | 421 | 5/6 | ||
| Ladies Red | 5 | 414 | 5/6 | ||
| 7 Sheepfold |
Medal | 3 | 171 | 15/16 |
From the tee you look down onto this green which is protected by a ditch and dyke at the approach and there are two bunkers to catch the wayward shots. |
| Forward Yellow | 3 | 145 | 15/16 | ||
| Ladies Red Tee | 3 | 115 | 15/16 | ||
| 8 Mains Park |
Medal Tee | 4 | 404 | 3/4 |
The eighth is a long par 4 and very picturesque. Fairly open but beware of the bunker guarding the font right of the green. |
| Forward Yellow Tee | 4 | 384 | 3/4 | ||
| Ladies Red Tee | 4 | 354 | 3/4 | ||
| 9 Tower |
Medal Tee | 4 | 408 | 9/10 |
The last is a magnificent contoured hole with a large green and a superb sweeping fairway. This hole will help leave a lasting memory of Kenmore Golf Course. |
| Forward Yellow Tee | 4 | 360 | 9/10 | ||
