West coast challenge

Play this course you will enjoy.
Some blind shots but most are open past the pole marker.
You can hit your driver if accurate and get the green with next shot if not accurate you won’t.

Some different style holes very enjoyable to play.
3.5 hours 4 ball and 5 lost balls .

GOOD DAY OUT THANKS GOLF NOW.

Fantastic links fun

I love playing James Braid courses, and this one is right up there with the best I've played, lots of fun approach shots with blind tee shots and elevations changes. Every hole has character, length off the tee not essential but controlling aproaches key. There's been a dry spell recently so the course was nicely baked out and brown, greens in great condition not a single dried out spot I could see with a sneaky bit of pace too. A classic links test .

Fantastic day had

On arrival we got parked and checked in. The pro told us where to tee off and told us about the clubhouse facilities and the practice green and nets. We had a wee hit and then teed off. The fairways were all burnt due to the recent good weather and the greens were excellent. The only hole we thought let the course down slightly was the 6th. After teeing off straight at a marker the ball should be found on the fairway.over the hill. Instead over the hill is a heather verge and the ball was nowhere to be seen. In our opinion it should be fairway all the way to the green. A couple of the holes skirt the railway line so you need to avoid wayward shots. Some of the bunkers were brutally difficult to get out of. Can't wait to come back and try again.

Great course

Weather was fantastic. The staff were friendly and we had a great round of golf.
Some bunkers were so tall you did not want to land in them.
A good variety of holes.

Amazing course

Just a brilliant course.

Fantastic conditions, excellent greens, amazing views and a very interesting layout. Loads of memorable holes and not a single average/weak one on the whole track.

Members and staff were all very friendly.

10/10 - highly recommended.

Great links course

Really great links course. Not overly long, with a lot of shortish par 4's, and some really quirky holes you have to think your way round. You need to keep it on the fairways, which are quite generous but there's loads of gorse, heather and heavy rough if you're way off line (like I was). The only downside was the weather. About the only day of rain in the last month & we got soaked. Just to also compliment the pro and his staff. Really friendly welcome and gave us plenty of tips how to play the course. I'll definitely be back - this is a real gem!

4 Ball hindered the experience

We had booked a 2 ball through Golf Now as a Fathers Day gift, looking forward to spending some quality time together. We were told upon signing in we would be joined by another 2 guests, as it was something Golf Now usually do according to the pro in the shop. As much as we were happy to play alongside another group, not wanting to cause a fuss, our round took 4.5 hours. The course was very quiet (no groups in front or behind us all day) and I believe we would have finished our round hours before, had we been allowed to play as 2 separate 2 balls. I don’t think this should be something Golf Now can do without contacting the parties beforehand to clear this. Slightly soured what was an otherwise great day of golf (even although it rained the whole way round).
