A challenge

Rory's home course is definitely not easy, but is fair. Lots of elevation changes, sloping fairways and blind shots. Would have been nice to play with a member or someone familiar with the layout. Unfortunately, there were quite a few 'slit' and temporary greens the day we played, but judging by the few that were 'normal' they'd be pretty good. Price was good and the staff in the pro-shop and Clubhouse were very friendly & helpful.

Tough Course

A great but tough course it was playing short due to the dry spell of weather.

Lovely views particularly on the very tough back nine.

Lives up to the name

I really enjoyed the playability of the course and difficulty of the back nine. Undulating fairways make the tee shots tough and the greens are fantastic. Well worth the trip

Great Course to play and experience:)

The layout is great and a test of golf. Greens are in superb condition and it was a pleasure to play. The back nine is definitely harder than the front, but in good weather it is a marvel. Will be back!
