All a bit bleak!

Played this course as I'd been for a fitting with Titleist (excellent) and had time to kill while the clubs were made.
The lady in the pro shop was welcoming and provided some good info, particularly regarding the location of the tees as signage is pretty sparse.
The course is certainly links style and VERY exposed, there's barely a tree in sight and whilst the wind was blowing a bit for us making it tricky, I can imagine it could be virtually unplayable in more severe conditions.
The bunkers are well maintained and the greens decent although somewhat sandy when we played. There are some interesting undulation making them a proper challenge.
The clubhouse is only a few yesrs old and to be honest pretty cold and unwelcoming, although the young lady at the bar was very cheerful and smiley.
Triied the burger and chips which the chef brought out, think we caught him in a bad day as we received not as much as a smile. On top of that I left half of my burger (which I never do!), it looked great but tasted cheap and processed, pretty rank!
Would I go back? Well no, unless of course I revisit the Titleist fitting centre when it's pretty handy for passing the time!
