The Course / Cwrs

The course is a testing par 70 measuring 6,276 yards from the back tees and overlooks the sea with the Isle of Man visible on a clear day .Every hole has its own individual character and a Welsh name to it.No less than eleven of the holes are above your eyeline as you play an approach shot - distance can be difficult to judge.
 
The course is founded on rolling heathland with rocks and gorse providing natural defences along eith the usual wind.
 
At 370 yards the uphill opening hole is played to an elevated green.The second, Clawdd Terfyn (Boundary Wall)has out of bounds down the right and measures 382 yards.After the short 220 yard par three third the fourth plays from an elevated tee to a green 383 yards away.
The short fifth of 175 yards is named Eilian , the name of a local saint - then the sixth played across a valley measures 310 yards and is only a drive and a short iron.
Named after nearby Parys Mountain the seventh at 426 yards is rated stroke index one and is hard to reach in two for all but the good players.
The eighth at 475 yards is the only par five on the outward nine which finishes with a spectacular par four of 347 yards called Dyffryn (The Valley) - the drive should finish in the named valley with an approach to a green towering high above.
 
At 195 yards the par three tenth is a potential card wrecker with an abundance of trouble both sides and behind the putting area
The 505 yard par five eleventh hole is is the longest on the course and is followed by a par three twelfth measuring 197 yards at the furthestmost point from the clubhouse. At 317 yards the dog legged thirteenth is followed by a more testing 425 yard fourteenth .
 
Cae'r Ffynnon ( The Field with the Well) is the 486 yard par five fifteenth and the final short hole is the 174 yard sixteenth
 
The round finishes with two testing par fours - the 433 yard seventeenth named Machlud (Sunset) and a spectacular 446 yard final hole is played from a back tee high above the fairway and played to a green overlooked by the modern clubhouse.
 
 In an article in the Liverpool Daily Post on Tuesday, January 18th 2005 golf correspondent Trevor Peake stated that Bull Bay is ' a lovely course in a glorious setting which would make a great day out with a friendly welcome and good catering for parties.'
