This is a nice course which has always been in excellent condition when I have played it. It is a good walk as it has a number of uphill holes.

For a council run course this is well maintained. It contains Par 3's and 4's which go up and down hill so it is a difficult walk at times.

Lets start with the positives, the layout of this course is fantastic and there are some amazing holes. Unfortunately, it was in very poor condition. Most holes were very boggy (it had rained leading up to the day - but not that much).

Given that this is course is part of the Royal Troon brand, I was expecting more. There is nothing particularly wrong with the course but given the price paid I would have expected better. The layout lacks excitement and there are no spectacular holes. There are better courses for less than half the price as part of Troon Links.

Interesting and challenging course. It was very windy on the day I played which made playing well almost impossible. However the course itself is interesting, the first 8 holes are true links golf right next to the sea, the other 10 are across the road and have a part links, part parkland feel. Course conditioning was very good.
