Difficult to pigeonhole

Not a links course, more of a cliff top type. Quite short and fiddly although some nice views which take attention away from the general low-level challenge of the course.

Nothing special

Included this course in a trip back from playing in East Lothian but it’s not as good as anything up there. A fiddly, short layout. Nice coastal views but that’s about it.

We had a half price round because of working on the greens which was very good value. At full price the club is overcharging for the course. Fairways were average but the setting and scenery were excellent.

My first introduction to this course saw the fairways were parched brown with little green oasis in the distance. Say hello to links golf.

I thought I'd arrived on the moon when I first played this course but was told that they had had a very hot and dry summer. I now understand that this is what hapens by the sea!

Quite a tricky course in places with a few blind holes and dog legs left but the greens are in tip top shape and this is a good introduction for links golf.

Great course in great condition even with rain all through the night and most of the round.
