Good 9 hole course with some lovely views

Don’t generally play 9 hole courses but this is a nice wee course with some nice holes. Playing twice was no issue and allowed to correct some mistakes from the first 9. We would definitely recommend it and will definitely be back.
Temporary green on the first and mats on fairways but it’s winter so to be expected
