Great Links Course

Really friendly club, course in fantastic condition with lovely fast greens. Not long but some small undulating greens, lucky to play when there was not much wind. Great value at ?32 per round. Excellent bacon rolls and coffee post round.

Top coastal course, stunning views

We weren't blessed with weather but could still appreciate the fine layout here and course was still very firm from 2 weeks of dry and sunny weather. The selection of holes is a real treat with a mix of length, difficulty and strategy all underpinned by some excellent conditioning. Although we left somewhat beaten by the rain I think we'd all look forward to having another go to truly appreciate the fine course and stunning scenery available. Till next time....

Nothing special

Included this course in a trip back from playing in East Lothian but it’s not as good as anything up there. A fiddly, short layout. Nice coastal views but that’s about it.

Difficult to pigeonhole

Not a links course, more of a cliff top type. Quite short and fiddly although some nice views which take attention away from the general low-level challenge of the course.

No school like it. Classic old school links golf. Not fussy, but great fairways and greens and a bit querky

Great value, stunning course

A challenging course which is very well maintained. Exceptional backdrop and views, very fair layout, keep to the fairways and good scoring is possible, rough is a genuine hazard. Hard to fault the course at all and at ?20 an amazing price.
