Perfect day

Good course which is moderately challenging for the medium handicapper. Some tricky holes and blind shots make it interesting too. Very friendly.
Good parkland course which plays sometimes like a links course without the wind. Had a great day.

Longniddry

Overspill car park not the best introduction to Longniddry. Club house, which is being refurbished made up for poor first impressions. Friendliness of staff in proshop also excellent.
Course is nicely laid out, similar to links, but basically parkland. Well positioned bunkers mean that you have to think about how you play a hole. Some interesting par 3s and a few very long par 4s, no mens' par 5s at all, which is a little strange especially as a couple of the par 4s were 450 yards plus. In the summer when the ball rolls on the dry ground it should just be possible for higher handicappers to reach these greens in two. Some of the greens are very well guarded and require fairly accurate approach shots to stay out of trouble. Greens themselves had recently been hollow tined and were a bit erratic as a result. However, you could see that once back in normal condition they will play well with some very subtle contours.
The haggis and egg roll afterwards in the club house, along with the excellent friendly service, was a real treat and a perfect end to our day.
In short, a course suitable more for middle to higher handicappers, with excellent spring weather meant a most enjoyable day.
