No issues for me. Took about 30 mins in this morning (7 ish) and the same to get back out.
Its a single road in and out, so sheer volume of traffic was never going to be kind. Not great, definitely not awful.

Major plus for me as the football has been called off due to ongoing virus breakout at Ross County - so we've been awarded 3-0 win, I don't have to travel up North - and I'll get to watch the finish of the Open

Okay tbh
Had chicken gougons and chips with curry sauce and a drink £15
That was with discount but fed me

Anyone done the park and ride?

Just home. Park and ride worked well, very efficient. Queue to get in this morning but straight home at end of day. Very impressed. (Questionnaire was on my ticket app first thing this morning.)
Walked the first few holes to six then sat and watched the groups come though (great call to sit and watch there). Then walked the course watching groups as we found them. Sat at 15th green for a bit (players were finding this hole hard, saw some good scrambling), then on 18 in the grandstand, then walked back and followed some other groups in.
Whole thing was very slick, Marshalls and security were superb. Fans friendly and considerate. Would go again in a heartbeat.
One tip - take your own lunch. Prices high, queues long. Also, wear sunscreen.

Yep. Fine. Go early, expect a queue and a slowish bus ride. But I was expecting that and it was all fine. Coming home was very good. It was all slickly organised.

High and long queues. Take a picnic!

Could someone pick me up one of the water bottles please, seeing as I can't attend this year ?

Make sure you wear your golf shoes!?????
play well
Go as early as you can stand. It’ll make things much easier. Hope you have as great a day as I did.

Defo! Anyone who thinks that golf shoes aren't correct then I advise think again (unless you having a walking shoe)
My feet don't feel too bad
The 12th is a great little hole to watch
Saw plenty of action today
Almost got hit by JT ball on 1 and saw his eagle on 4
Very much fun

I was joking about golf shoes. I wore walking boots but trainers would be fine.
Glad you had a good day!
