Couple of Par 3s:

4th with its setting by the houses and river

And the 15th. What's not to love about a blind 200 yard par three that uses the sea as a hazard?

Great course and great (lunch) courses. Windy and cold towards the end but a fine day out.

Here's a pic from the top of the hill.

The clubhouse welcome was excellent and the view from there is the best I've come across from a golf clubhouse.

Weather forecast looking up for tomorrow so looking forward to another new experience at Murcar.

What a course, right up there at the top in terms of where I have ever played.

The variety of holes, clever design and views make it absolutely top drawer.

I will be going back :D

I thought similarly to Dornoch that the course has 2/3 levels to it. Some along the beach, but others on higher tiers of land, and looking and playing up or down to the other parts of it. Some great undulations and like a roller coaster in some parts.
