I played balcomie today first time playing there, loved the holes you had to hit over the beach. Also had some really nice par 3s. Really enjoyable round of golf.
It’s a fun course, I enjoy playing there in the summer but don’t enjoy how exposed it can feel in the winter months.
I do think it could/should be a stronger course though. The mix of holes is weird as there are too many par 3’s, six from memory? It‘s one of those courses I feel I would enjoy more if it were just the 9 really good holes.
Lovely club and clubhouse, the Craighead is the much better course of the two and is/can-be a real beastly challenge.
I always feel its a bit flat and open. Not really a fan, got a couple of ok holes. Tbh I enjoy the other course more. Even to the extent last time our jolly was arranged in Fife and here one of the courses to play, it was unanimously decided to go elsewhere.
