Comments: Great value... Don't go and play here and miss out on the Old course... Lunar landscape with dunes like ocean liners... Everything you need for a challenge ­ wind, doglegs, subtle greens, deep bunkers and tangly rough. .. Better than the Old... 12th, 13th and 14th just can't be bettered.. . Magnificent new course, thank you Ruddy and Craddock... Not as natural as the Old . .. Could while away the rest of my life here...Glashedy Rock reminiscent of Turnberry...Fairly new course that feels 100 years old.
