Dunnaverty?

Heading up to see the boy in a couple of weeks. Planning on a few rounds whilst we’re up there. Looking at the Machrihanish courses, but one of his colleagues has recommended Dunnaverty. Looks nice on Random Golf Club channel. Anyone played there? Any good?

I have played there but it was an awful long time ago( over 30 years) so my memory may not be reliable . Thought it was a nice course but preferred Machrihanish. I've never played the dunes.

We had a forum meet up there nearly 2 years ago
It’s a lovely quirky hilly course, with some great views
Match it up with Machrihanish and or the Dunes and you’ve got a good package, Dunaverty isn’t in the same league , but it’s well worth playing

We did 2x The Machrie on Islay, followed by Machrihanish Dunes, Machrihanish and Dunaverty
The last 2 on the same day,
Brilliant part of the world

Dunaverty might be the most ‘fun’ course I’ve played.

Brilliant views. Brilliant holes and just Fun fun fun.

I loved it.

Quirky, old school course, great fun & totally different from the two Machrihanish courses.. Don't worry about the lack of length on the card, the elevation changes will take care of the difference.

Do it!

Good luck at hole 4??????

You'd be mad not to include it having got all the way round there. It's brilliant, had an honesty box when we were there and some incredible holes. Nothing like Machrihanish or Dunes but really good fun. First handful of holes you might wonder what all the fuss is about, then it goes up a few notches

Let's call it a pace of play & daylight issue...

My absolute favourite course. You won't be disappointed. If there are cows on the first fairway it adds to the occasion ?

have experience of cows on the fairway at Pennard, and sheep at Brora, electric fences on greens etc. Glad I’m a tall lad when stepping over the wires ?.

Have been trying to ring them but no one home

There's wires around the first green. I'm tall as well so didn't get zapped.

Brora are clever with this, they usually have a place on the wire, where they have threaded it through a 1m sleeve of garden hose. That's the place to step over where possible, but goes out the window if you're on the opposite side of the green.
