What the club says: The excellent condition of the course, combined with the subtly sloping greens and changing sea breezes provide a great test of golf for both high and low handicappers. Mr Charles Hunter professional at Prestwick designed the 9 holes of 'sporting character' in 1894 whilst Mr W. Gordon Cunningham designed the 'new' nine holes and officially opened the course on 30th May 1987.

A very tough course
Not an easy course to play. A coastal links challenge with plenty of tough rough to avoid. The fairway, tricky to decipher and even trickier to hold made the visit not an enjoyable one. A basic clubhouse and practice facilities would not rate highly for a return visit. Glad for the experience but not for me.(Round played: Sep 2021 - Score: 108 Handicap: 18.5)

Attractive as you drive in. Putting green close by. Friendly staff. Flat easy walk. Fairways ok, greens true and 8 on the stimp, some big breakers, and particularly bunkers very good. Obviously well looked after. Nice views, very quiet setting.
Has to be said, very easy with mostly very short par 4's. A bit like a flatter Lundin links. Yet another Scottish course with no warm up net. Clubhouse is as basic as it gets.
We found it quite charming in its own way, works best as a gently flattering introduction to links golf, definitely under rated on here.
