The 8th: The Creek

Par 4, 399 Yards

The “Creek of Barrow” is the channel that runs in from the ocean to Barrow Harbour (one of the most important places in Europe for bird-watching and officially designated an Environmentally Sensitive Area in 1995).

You might see one or two of the 6 Grey Herons who come back each year to the tall trees near Barrow House.

Playing Tips

This is a classic par 4. You might be tempted to go with a driver, then hopefully leaving no more than a pitch to the green. But the rocks and the Atlantic lie in wait to the left for the even-slightly pulled shot. The approach should be played slightly to the right as the ball will kick left onto the green. Putting here is an experience.
