Comments: First nine fairly flat but you will have to be pretty fit to tackle the back nine which is more up and down...Par-5 15th a real tester played uphill all the way, but the climb is worth making because the view from the top to Edinburgh and the Forth Bridge is stunning... Superb off-course facilities which include - believe it or not - a 16-lane ten-pin bowling alley... Par-3 10th makes an excellent start to the back nine.
