Interesting, testing course in idyllic surroundings. The course has 9 greens, but the construction of 18 tees means variety and a very different challenge over the closing holes. Despite being fairly short at 5555 yards, the course asks questions of all levels of golfer with several strategically placed natural hazards and other cleverly man made ones.
The Par 5, 6th and 15th, is played around Loch Lanlish, although the brave, big hitters can go for the small green with their second shot but any mishit would find a watery grave. This hole in particular was praised by Ronan Rafferty on his visit to the course. The 9th and 18th which are played across a deep gulley into which flows the Atlantic when the tide is in, can already claim TV fame. Peter Alliss visited in 1996 to record for the series 'Travels with Alliss' and the hole has also appeared on an American Millennium calendar.
All in all, a brilliant little course, where everyone is welcome and should enjoy stress free golf at a realistic price.
