Place with multiple faces

Our second course in Scotland was this 18-hole course north of Loch Ness, not far from Inverness. We received a very friendly welcome in the pro shop. Trolleys were available for 5 pounds, which we took advantage of.

The course presents a mixed bag. At first, it looked very rough, more like a links course. The fairways are short and narrow, with low heather as rough, which at least doesn't swallow balls. Beyond the railway line, the course becomes more difficult, becoming hilly and, as a newcomer, difficult to see exactly where you're going or where the problems lie. Starting on the back 9, there were suddenly wide, lush green fairways, and it felt like a parkland course. Then, in two par 3s, it goes wildly down and up again before returning to the initial pattern. For some, it's varied; for others, it seems half-baked. But you can still have fun, and we even got a decent dinner in the clubhouse.
