We played Lanark on a very sunny but windy day which gave some wonderful views of the hills and countryside around it. My camera needed a rest after we finished. The wind made the course very tricky as it was the cold easterly that we have had now for several days and is not the normal prevailing wind for which the course was built upon. You do get the sensation of playing 18 different holes at Lanark such is the structure and design so it's easy to remember them all. We played Ladybank the day before and while I would rate it better then Lanark there are some holes I'm struggling to remember as they can be quite similar. Lanark will not only test your golf on excellent fairways and fast smooth greens but it will also test your legs as there are some pretty stiff climbs, although these do lead to superb viewing points - the climb up the 7th being is worth it.
While our round only took 4 hrs for a 4 ball it felt like we were on the course forever as we were held up on nearly every hole. There was a members comp on and with the sunshine it brought them out in numbers. Lanark is one of those courses that often gets overlook as it's not on the normal golf trip routes but any golfer should at least play this course once before they hang up their sticks.
