Snow Transforms UK Courses into Beautiful Winter Landscapes

By: Golfshake Editor | Wed 28 Feb 2018

The 'Beast From The East' has spectacularly arrived in the UK and Ireland, plunging us into a wintery abyss of deep snow and painfully cold temperatures. Courses are closed and will remain so for days. Golfers hoping that the 1st of March would signal the beginning of their seasons will have to postpone that start, but the harsh conditions have created some beautiful photographs across the most iconic and best layouts. Here are some of the finest.

Current scenes at the Home of Golf. The Road Hole bunker has been filled... with snow as has the Swilcan Burn. #beastfromtheeast pic.twitter.com/pQbC8BKc8k
