Special, but...
Reviewed June 11, 2022
Basically, the work and commitment of the members and also the greenkeepers should be appreciated. With the special conditions in the Hebrides, it is not easy to run a golf course at all. Sometimes even green color is used so that the greens at least leave a certain impression in terms of colour...
In any case, the Hebrides are not a golf destination, but the course still has charm and leaves friends of links courses in their element. Fairways ok, "greens" very moderate to hardly any - special location and environment result in an additional point.

A very special experience

If it is the Isle of Harris, the search for something special. From the Atlantic, surrounded by the wind and regularly watered.
And so great is the small, stunning 9-hole course. It is often difficult to choose between the game and the phenomenal view of the sea and the landscape. Just at the 2nd tea you look around and think you are dreaming.
It is logical that in such an exposed location it is not easy to keep a place in perfect condition. Again and again the wind shoves the entire place with sand from the beach and the members have their hands full. But they are with great heart blood on the matter and every guest is greeted warmly.
The challenges of the course are, on the one hand, the wind, which is constantly blowing, and also quite powerful and, on the other hand, how to deal with changing circumstances.
Some racetracks are also under water under rainfall, or the Rough consists of sand with beach oats.
The greens are of a different quality, as well as well, all honorary.
Conclusion:
This is no place for 'Edelgolfer', which should continue to travel to the Scottish East Coast or Glen Eagles. But who is a bit open for golf in its most original form and the challenge is right here.
By the way, Askernish is only one island further and can be reached by a short ferry and an hour drive by car.
At all, an island hopping is always an option on the Outer Hebrides. Between the Stornoway Golf Club (18 holes), Harris Golf Club (9 holes) and Benbecular Golf Club (18 holes) to Askernish Golf Club (18 holes) are always just a few miles and incredible landscapes.
