Wonderful and wonderful

I enjoyed golf in Scotland for the first time. All the staff were so kind, and especially with the interest and kindness of the staff of the Pro Shop, my first play started with tension, but soon I was able to enjoy it comfortably. It was a rather easy golf club in Par 66, but thanks to this, I was able to fully enjoy it without stress. If I have a chance, I want to go again.

Great looking course.

This course looks great, such a nice area and lovely scenery.

Even the drive there was nice.

We played this on a Saturday morning, it was our first time but we managed to plot our way around just fine with a little help from a few friendly members.

It's not a very long course, with quite a few par 3's and no 5's.

All the greens were on and playing well.

This was an absolute bargain for the price we paid, and we will definitely be back.

A Great Find

A fantastic wee course with several 'signature' holes. All greens were open on a day which started very frosty which was great to see.

Well worth a visit.
