I've seen it described as where golf meets fell walking! Not very long but pretty tough. Lovely scenery.Played it for the first time today in a Pro-Am and it chewed me up and spate me out big time.
Those who have played it in the wind will know all about it I've sure.
A course to be played once for sure .
Yes it starts with 3 uphill par-3's and also finishes with a very downhill par-3.
I remember feeling knackered by the time I reached the 4th tee! I would imagine that playing that course on a regular basis would make you very fit.

Are you sure they are not Mountain Goats?!!!Yup you go up again to the 4th tee. You can spot the members quite easily, skinny as a rake and whippet fast from the fitness they've gained
I think it's also the highest course in England IIRC? Unless you include Royal Allerton muni in Liverpool, which has a penchant for pot-smokers.
I have never played it, but the typo in the thread title makes it looks like it has closed... Well it does to me
I believe they have the highest tee in England, but not the highest clubhouse (as it is down in the valley).
I thought the fairways were rather nice when I played there, apart from being covered in sheep droppings that is. One of my drives actually hit a sheep on its backside. It jumped up in the air, but then went back to eating grass, so couldn't have been badly hurt. It did knock about 15 yards off my drive though. The sheep are/have to be pretty tough up there!
