Signature Holes
On the Dunluce course at Portrush there are several signature holes on both the front and back nine. In particular are the fourth, fifth and fourteenth holes. The fourth hole is a long par four which is more than 480 yards from the championship tees, with out of bounds right and thick rough on the left. There are several bunkers in the undulating fairway and the green is placed between two small sand hills. The fifth hole is a relatively short downhill par four with a dogleg to the right. It has no bunkers but a heavily undulating green perched on the edge of a large drop down to the beach and has views across the White Rocks beach, and the Dunluce Castle after which the course was named. The fourteenth hole, named Calamity Corner, but locally known as just "Calamity" is a long 210 yard, uphill par three. It is played to a green over a huge ravine short and right, with mounds and hollows to the back and left of the green.

Famous quotes containing the words signature and/or holes:
“The childless experts on child raising also bring tears of laughter to my eyes when they say, “I love children because they’re so honest.” There is not an agent in the CIA or the KGB who knows how to conceal the theft of food, how to fake being asleep, or how to forge a parent’s signature like a child.”
—Bill Cosby (20th century)
“But Father John went up,
And Father John went down;
And he wore small holes in his shoes,
And he wore large holes in his gown.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
