Thought I would post a review of my experience after reading a few reviews from leading course architects and punters alike. I loved the drive down to the clubhouse from the road as you catch glimpses of the holes through small gaps in the dunes. It really whet the appetite. I played on a cool breezy day (2/3 club wind) in brilliant sunshine. The clubhouse has a superb view to the sea over double green which ends both nines and I found all the staff to be really helpful and cheerful. The course has had a bad rap for the greens, being too difficult and too many blind shots. I must say that I don't agree. The greens do have some severe slopes on them yes. However, the pin placements were all accessible and the greens were super true. I know that the green staff keep the green on the slow side to ensure they don't cause too much grief to us hackers. The landing areas are generous and even I managed to find the majority of the fairways. There are some serious bunkers out there though but the ones I went in were well sanded and offered you a shot out without having to be Seve. There are a few blind shots out there but that comes with a few of the doglegs they have on the holes and bad positioning off the tee. I love the course. It is interesting and has some simply awesome views down the coast. I would play there again in a heartbeat.
