Comments: Located around 1000 feet above sea level, the course offers some stunning views of the surrounding country­side. . . Wind is nearly always a factor... The layout may measure just over 6000 yards, but it usually plays every inch of that... Lovely moorland layout... Excellent condition... One of the toughest closing holes in golf and it's a par-3!
