Hole Details Below

Hole 1 Par 4 Black 372 Blue 364 White 323 Handicap 6 Back to Top
One of the straighter holes on the course, keep it out of the fairway bunkers and away from the trees off the tee for a chance at par or better.  A nice opening hole to your round or back nine, welcome to The Meath.
Hole 2 Par 3 Black 202 Blue 195 White 160 Handicap 8 Back to Top
A well protected green makes this par three no easy task.  Find one of the sand traps and you are in potential bogey territory.  Don't go long either!  A good test of golf skills, this is a nice par three golf hole.
Hole 3 Par 4 Black 278 Blue 273 White 235 Handicap 7 Back to Top
This short down hill par four has been aced, but water makes for a daunting tee shot for those seeking the green.  A fairway wood or iron may be a better choice from the well elevated tee box setting you up for an approach to a green protected by both sand and water.  A good tee shot makes for an approach with a lofted club.
Hole 4 Par 4 Black 340 Blue 336 White 302 Handicap 5 Back to Top
Water comes in to play on the tee shot of this fairly short par four.  Playing to your favorite approach club should give you a chance at birdie.  Enjoy the view and keep it in the fairway.  The shape of the green makes for some interesting pin placements.
Hole 5 Par 4 Black 440 Blue 434 White 387 Handicap 3 Back to Top
This tough par four is narrow and has a slight left to right layout.  Trees and out of bounds to the left  make for the number 3 handicap hole on this nine and a particularly tough hole for mid handicap golfers.
Hole 6 Par 5 Black 547 Blue 541 White 498 Handicap 1 Back to Top
The long dog leg left is the number 1 handicap hole on The Meath and a true test of golf.  Trees, sand, elevation, length and water all come in to play.  It actually may even be considered a "double dog leg as it winds right before a sharp left to the putting surface.
Hole 7 Par 3 Black 149 Blue 144 White 129 Handicap 9 Back to Top
With the water behind you for the time being, sand and trees protect this short par three, the easiest hole on the nine.  After two holes of tough golf, this par three should be a nice change of pace, but it's no gimmie.
Hole 8 Par 5 Black 494 Blue 487 White 460 Handicap 2 Back to Top
Back to the dog leg left with a blind tee shot, trees, water and sand all in the mix.  The only reason it's not the number 1 handicap hole, is because hole six is longer.  This hole favors those who can hit a draw from the tee box and rewards accuracy and shot making.  Because of it's length, this short par five can be a birdie opportunity, but it takes three good shots and a putt.
Hole 9 Par 4 Black 411 Blue 405 White 362 Handicap 4 Back to Top
A straight forward finishing hole with sand protecting both side of the narrowing fairway.  Players playing to their appropriate tee box will usually be hitting a mid iron to the sloping green.  Whether finishing your round or mid-way, you will have enjoyed your trek around the Meath.
