Hole 8
The par 5 eight is a challenging hole which requires an accurate approach shot over a pond. Unless you get your ball in play off the tee, you will probably need to lay up short of the pond with your second and leave a long uphill appraoch to a well guarded green.

Hole 13
This delightful hole is one of the signature holes in Ballinrobe. This Par 3 features a lake short of the green that will punish “short” shots. The green slopes from right to left which means that “up and downs” from any of the bunkers to the right of the green are quite rare. A pot hole bunker short left of the green is not visible from the tee box.
