Newmacher Hawkshill?

Any good?

Worth a game?

Looks the business from photo's and reviews I have seen.

Looking to play it end of May/start of June.

Alan is that the main course there if so yes its a good test.

There were some great holes with water infront of the greens and some nice par 3's.

only downside i fould was there was so much bunkering and some of the bunkers where huge, i think many of the memers had given up raking them. In fact the day my mate and i played we watched the 4 ball of members walk into a few of them with there bags and put them down in the bunkers. Some of the tee's were in a bit of a state as well but that was prob 5 years ago i played it.

if i was in the area again i would def give it another go....


you will like, its nothing like Nairn;)

Aye the main course......Pro played it twice over the last 2 years and has raved about it so think we may give it a go as part of a boys 3 day tour.It's a Scramble so hopefully should not have to play from bunkers!! Hopefully!

let me know what you think and condition one you've played it as i might try and go back there later in the year.
 
I've played it a few times and i find it very enjoyable. Good parkland course which was in great shape when I last played it (admittedly 4 years ago)

Definitely worth a game. I should play it again but there are so many great links courses up there!!!

Smashing course.

I played it a lot as a junior as my mate was a member there. Didn't have anything like the game required to do anything but get absolutely beaten up by it. It's a really good setup and a tough test - think SSS may be 74 against par of 72.

Would love to go back now and play it again.
