Comments: Terrific potential - remove the cattle and caravans at the start and finish, upgrade the clubhouse, a few new tees and you would have a great course... Windswept links ... Great hospitality and places to stay... Starts poorly but gets better... Popular course... Respected venue almost deserted outside summer... Short course protected by tight fairways... Wonderful scenery.
