All I can say is this place is amazing in every respect and its clear I’ve been missing out. The greens are the best I’ve ever played on, the fairways are top notch and the rough is deep, the course is just class. Then its the views of the beach, the castle and the wildlife, it all adds up to a experience the will leave you talking about this place for a very long time. Last but not least, this place wouldn’t be such a great place if it wasn’t’ for the staff and they were brilliant!

what a great course. Some of the scenery is amazing, especially around the castle. The condition of the course was great. The clubhouse was very welcoming, and the staff were great. If you’re up in this area and can get on, it’s worth it
