Beautiful cliff-top golf course with lots of wind
Reviewed October 6, 2022
First of all, I liked having to take the strong wind into account. The course is quite short, so that a long iron is sufficient for the tee on many par 4 holes. Even after misses from the tee, the green is often still possible in regulation. The first 5-6 holes go back and forth parallel to the coast, so you can quickly get used to the wind direction. There were only a few tracks with full headwinds and tailwinds.
As the rough is mostly mowed there is ample room to 'spread' so despite the wind the difficulty wasn't very high with some blind shots adding to the tension.
But there are wonderful views over the cliffs, all in all a successful holiday morning( it only took 2:30 hours alone, although finding your way around and adjusting to the wind also take time.
For those who are not very good on foot: some strenuous climbs may make a buggy seem sensible. 4 stars because the place was fun, even if the greens don't quite meet Scottish standards in my opinion. A little too long (because of the wind?) and didn't always run faithfully.

A real task
Reviewed June 13, 2018
Super place, just above on the coast with some terrific views. Hard because many blind beats. Wind is a big job and it always blows fats. Simple clubhouse but everything necessary available.
