I started a reply last night, but didn't go ahead as I didn't want to put a downer on your choice of course.
Blairbeth is the only course where I've ever been shot at
There was also a hole, 10th or 11th where you had a long walk into a corner to play your tee shot. You had to take you clubs back on to the tee if you wanted to bve sure of seeing them again.
Totally agree. Lived al my days on the Soo'side and wouldnt play "Beth" if u paid me. Some of the tracks in southside are expensive to join but worth it once you in ( although a bit old school) Get yourself up to Mearnscastle.
