Comments: Wonderful views but course did not match them... Plenty of blind shots... Could be best value in Britain... Good greens, great setting and great fun although can get congested... More boys and girls have learned golf here than at all the private Glasgow and Edinburgh clubs combined... A gem. .. 12 holes only... Great value. .. Great views to Mull of Kintyre . . . A pilgrimage to repeat again and again... You will either love it or hate it.
