The best golf holes: Mold's Waterloo

Waterloo is the name given to the 6th hole on the Mold golf course. It is the signature hole of the course and with good reason. The hole itself is only a par 3, but the elevated tee position and the spectacular views make it a memorable one for golfers of all abilities. The exposed tee makes club selection critical; if it is calm, as it was last evening, I tend to take a pitching wedge.  Yesterday I played my first shot fairly well onto the front edge of the green, but poor putting spoilt the final score (4).

A close rival to Waterloo is the 8th hole (called the Ridge); this is a small but beautifully situated plateau type green. It is not easy as the green is protected by numerous bunkers and falls away steeply on either side.

The immaculate 8th.
