Small provincial club with character. Lots of room but punishes the bad slice or hook. Fairways are a bit parched and dry due to a few years of dry summers and absence of fairway sprinklers but greens were good, if just a bit slow in comparison to other courses round St Andrews. Some quirky holes, but excellent par threes and a challenging and very interesting back 9. Some hills and valleys to negotiate on the back 9, noticed some elderly lady members playing behind sensibly opted for 9 holes.

5 star golf, from the welcome reception to the 19th hole. This is one of the very best courses in St Andrews, a real test of golf requiring every club in your bag, magnificent greens and outstanding views over St Andrews Bay. Tee off times got me a great deal on the green fee, superb value for money!
