We've had one done, although there not for the benefit of the membership IMO, they are purely for visitors or potential visitors, so some members thought it a waste of money spent.

Was that the guys first day flying his drone :mmm:

I can't be the only one who watches those vids and thinks what club they would hit off the tee and what landing area they are looking at can I :whistle:

I think its was a club member and done for free.

This was done a while ago after a lot of the broom was cut back, most of that has grown back now so course looks a little different. The thing i noticed was how long the course looked on this. its only 6400 off the back (where the drone started from) so pretty short by most course standards.

certainly is Steve, but not renewing this year. always enjoyed taking one of my dogs Baldrick for a game on a Sunday afternoon. he would always help me look for a wayward drive and always find it;) since he died, not felt like playing there so hardly did after Aug.

Rupert is a bit young still but once he is old enough, will prob join again.

How much was the 10 round membership?

It won't take him him to get into it I'm sure :thup:, it's £150 Patrick which i thought was great value i did ask if you got the reciprocals as well, i was kindly told no ,worth asking . Played there 36 hole open in 2016 and found it a very friendly club from staff to members which always sticks in my mind on where to play plus i enjoyed the course.

that is good value, did you look at Country membership that might allow the Reciprocals.

Yeah i did think it was an extra £100 , but if i didn't play the 10 rounds it wasn't to much to lose out on, but we're going to play a lot more Opens this year starting with Eyemouth in March which i haven't played yet.

Haha, very true, looking to finally getting a game there this year had to pull out of there 7 club challenge open last year due to my back problems so hopefully this year


I always play the Fraser Gardner, which is Sept, 36 holer on the Struie and the championship, which has a handicap limit of 12.
or you could try the Glenmorangie which is 13 and above Aug ish i think

Tell me more about these things in September/October at Dornoch.

Fraser Gardner is a 36 hole comp usually fist week sept. low handicap 5 below play the Sturie first then the championship, and above 5 the championship first then the Struie. always good turn out and its about £50 ish.

well worth it, only way you get to play off the back tee's TBH.

My club has a virtual fly-over, but with no commentary or annoying music.
