It was. I need to go back when the distilleries are properly open. Only tastings in the cask rooms at Laphroaig and Ardbeg at the moment, no proper tours
New GM Top 100 - how many have you played?

Got soaked! But very impressed with the course. I can see why people think it should be top 100. Generous off the tees, tricky greens. I'd go back in a heartbeat to play it again. Clubhouse opens in a couple of weeks. Car park is not top 100 though

Glad you enjoyed it. It’s a superb track.
Agree on the car park. Even Barney rubble would be struggling to park there.

Totally agree.
One of the best forum meets.
The place is outstanding. The course was brutal but I loved it.
We will organise a return trip ?

Good to hear you had fun, and that the course is in good nick.
When I played there it was still owned by Loch Lomond so I never saw the car park. Valet parked the car for me and brought my clubs to the practice ground where they were waiting for me all shiny and clean. How the 1% live!

Enjoy those courses. Top notch. Great drive along the coast over in that area(try and make sure you miss the coach timings along the road and btw dont stay in the place I stayed in right next to Waterville golf, it was rank
)I'm surprised your wife is still married to you, due to the number of golf trips

Machrie do a 3 day pairs competition that includes accommodation and it is stupidly good value!

Crikey. How good is West Lancs? Seriously under rated, even in 25mph plus winds.

. Excitement. How was the course?
Cracking course West Lancs.We used to come down from Cumbria every year for around 5 years’ to play in Opens. it was around £25 each 4BBB. One year the other 2 did not turn up and we had to go go out our own. We won after a card play off with 42 points. Felt a little guilty for obvious reasons. Very seldom would anybody win with that score now!

Course was excellent. The conditioning has improved greatly (so I'm told) over the past few years so it's getting more attention. Really enjoyable
