Your links courses are so beautiful.
I think the design for the new clubhouse looks pretty smart too, although my lad is not too keen on it, and thinks the location they are building it on could see it catching a few balls.
I can’t actually remember playing the old hole.
Does anyone know why they built the new one?
I must have another game there as I didn’t appreciate it at all when we played it. It just didn’t grab me at all.

We have long coasts on two great oceans, but the waterfront property is too valuable for development.
We're tearing up golf courses for house lots a lot more than we're building new ones.
Coastal real estate property is much, much more expensive than interior land and no new courses are being built there.
I honestly think that our great game is on the decline here in the US anyway.
they did it all themselves so minimal compared to what ours are costingAny idea of cost?
2nd design, members didn't like the first as it looked like a disused tin mine from the back.I think the design for the new clubhouse looks pretty smart too, although my lad is not too keen on it, and thinks the location they are building it on could see it catching a few balls.
i don't the old 7th was on the orig layout, i could be wrong but i thought it only went as far as the 6th and some of the holes now on the Strue were orig holes 1st, 2nd 18.. as i say could be wrong.The local legend/history states that when the course was laid out the hole was supposed to have been built where the new hole is.
However some naughty person moved the marker stakes/posts during the night and the hole was laid out in the wrong place.
Dornoch believe that they have now rectified where the hole was originally supposed to have been as per the original design.
ah right when they built the new holes rather than way back, i can see the point with the 8th it could do with being longer TBH, most can get down the hill even from the back tee unless its a strong easterly (not the prev wind which is a south W)Knew I had read/been told that previously when I was told about the proposed changes to the 7th hole at RD.
