Bring a map

While the greens and fairways were in a good condition, if slow, it was definitely rough around the edges. The worst thing is the lack of signs though, it is so easy to get lost !

perfect day and perfect golf could only have been improved by better greens, but the work has to be done. 3 birdies and a near hole in one !

Outstanding !

Only a small clubhouse which was closed anyway and nobody around except a painter, decorating the outside, who informed us there was nobody around ! However, this was the only issue as we had pre booked a bargain with Golfnow. Glorious views over the Moray Firth towards Buckie in one direction, and Lossiemouth in the other. What a course ! Links at it's best ! Superb greens, true and fast. Fairways that run down gulleys bordered by thicker grass, heather and gorse. A little water in spots would be the only improvement I would make.

James Braid gem

Quite a short course and fairly wide open would normally equal an easy day out, but there are more than enough challenges to keep your interest. Small fast greens with strategic bunkering, and when you do stray there's long wispy grass and loads of heather. Par three holes 12 and 13 are standout/stressful !

Hidden gem

Too often courses are called "hidden gems" but this one is ! Three very picturesque and tricky holes : 8th, 9th and 18th. Hilly for the most part with a flatter finish. Beautiful surroundings and gorgeous country with some lovely houses overlooking the holes around the turn. Clubhouse small but functional and food very good. Golfnow deal outstanding !

Worn around the edges !

This place has seen better days. I know the dormant Bermuda makes it look dead but it's very tired and really worn in places. Some interesting holes and with a bit of care and attention it could be a good track again.

Nive resort course

Warm welcome and great company here. Course is surrounded by houses but unless you are wild off the tee you shouldn't have any problems. They are in process of changing the nature of the course to conserve water and apparently some members are leaving because of it. The desert areas are not brilliant to play out of but if that's what it takes to keep the place operating.

Best in the area.

Everything about Oak Valley is very, very good. A warm welcome and great conditions, excellent greens. Course a bit stressed at the edge but not surprising considering the drought. Treat yourself !!!!

Fair golf for a fair price

A little out of the way maybe but for a very reasonable price it's worth a day of your life ! The course is okay considering the harsh weather and environment, greens pretty good. Play was a bit slow as there was a 5 ball further ahead. Why do they allow this ?

Glasgow Gailes in a gale

If you love links golf and clubs with a history - then this is the place for you. A real treat even though we played for the most part in high winds and rain. This has to be one of the fairest links courses in Scotland, if you hit it straight - the ball will bounce straight too, and no blind shots - it's all out there right in front of you. Take an extra 20 mins to take the "pro's tour" too, he'll show you all around the club and just drink in the history. Could not be a friendlier staff at any golf club anywhere !

Great views - great hills !

Superb views but a lot of stiff hill climbing too. Nice springy highlands turf and good greens but if you've a heart condition - go play nearby Newtonmore which is flat. Staff all super friendly but food only average. As the previous reviewer says - all the par 3's are special !

The best of Palm Springs

Absolutely a must play in Palm Springs. The place oozes class - from the welcome to the little gifts to the 5 star golf course. You know you're on a class course when the first tee grass looks better than most of the greens you have played on ! Fairways immaculate - you could stick a flag in them anywhere and they'd be better than most of the greens elsewhere ! Sure - it's not cheap but class usually costs !

Great Course in Bastrop

Well worth the drive out to Bastrop, just pick your day better than us ! Unfortunately, it was freezing cold and VERY wet underfoot. But having said all that - what a treat of a course. No two holes alike and some that would be at home with the name Nicklaus or Fazio after it. A shame someone doesn't buy it up and spend a little money on it - I would if I won the lottery !
Super friendly clubhouse !!!

fastest greens ever !!!

The course is half an hour from Tucson and well worth the drive. Very reasonable rates and greens that were unbelievably fast ! Rest of the course just a little careworn around the edges but very enjoyable. Very friendly clubhouse too !
