Even better than expected

We did a two week Ireland and Scotland golf trip and this was the best course by far. I had the highest expectations possible and it exceeded every single one of them. I’ve been fortunate enough to play many great courses but this was the best and it was remotely close. There’s 18 great holes, you play it once and remember them all. With that said I must say THIS COURSE IS EXTREMELY CHALLENGING. It’s 6350 from the shortest tees (please play them), a tough layout and the wind can blow. I am a scratch that hits it far and the into the wind holes were all I can handle and more. So with that said manage your expectations of your game and enjoy, cause there is no where else like it in the world.

Forgot to mention. Play the other course first, shorter, easier and prepares you well for the championship

Wanted to love it but not quite

The course was great, but I found it to be overrated and the most penalizing course of the twelve we played. I really wanted to love it but not quite. Holes 5-7 are amazing but that’s it in my opinion. The back nine was rather bland for a course of this stature. My caddie was awful, very unhelpful and not nice(to use words I can say in here). The other caddie in the group made him look great as he was incredibly negative and much preferred to talk about his own game rather than help with yours.

Incredible for all

Absolutely loved it. We played with three mid twenty year old men and our friends sixty year old mother and was great for. Skill levels were from scratch to twenty handicap and it was amazing for every single one. It challenged the two low handicappers while still be wide and playable enough for the high ones. One of the finest set of short holes in the world. You play it once and remember nearly every shot you hit. Caddies we’re incredibly funny and knowledgeable, best we had in Scotland by far. Would recommend to anyone of any skill level and lives up to reputation.

Design is horrible

The most penalizing and poorly designed golf course I’ve ever played. It’s impossible to walk, the routing is horrific creating very long trips between holes and many forced Carries. As Tom Doak once said “a course so contrived and unnatural it may poison one’s mind. Can not recommend playing under any circumstances.”

At least the range is nice and casino so fun…

Fun layout and was great for the others in my group that don’t play as often. Staff is excellent and course is always in great shape. Rather pricey for a round but is the only public 18 course on the island. Great course to play with kids or your family

Better than Cape Kidnappers

Kauri Cliffs is the lesser known and lesser played of the two. Cape Kidnappers came first and had a more prominent designer, but don’t let that fool you. The views here are much better from the ground and are great from nearly every part of the course. You can see the ocean and the cliffs as soon as you show up. The two par 3s along the water are some of the most beautiful anywhere in the world.
The course is difficult, but fair. Our group was the only one out there that day and our caddy was quite helpful. I have had the pleasure of playing many top 100 courses and this is my favorite. Well worth the trip.
