Hilbre: Hole 5

The cliff edge and rough running right down the left from tee to green, makes this an intimidating tee shot! With trouble also on the right in the form of a copse, pond and two fairway bunkers, three straight hits are required. The green with a severe slope rising at the back, has bunkers cutting in at the left and right, narrowing the approach. Magnificent views can be enjoyed from here of the Hilbre Islands, the coast of Wales and the Irish Sea. The cliff top holes run alongside the river Dee with its many sailing and fishing boats.
The main island of the Hilbre Islands lends its name to this hole which was previously named 'Cliffs'.
