fat-tiger
Challenge Tour Pro
played there on monday 16th july
course is very good and nice on the eye, is it gone be best course in the world, i dont think so but it will be a very good course,
front 9 is alot more mature than the back 9, the rough is a nightmare prob 3 paces off the fairway and thick knee high stuff,we all lost a few balls.back 9 fairways seem alot wider, 1st is a nice par 5 with loads of well placed bunkers,which i parred and thought what is all the fuss about,then had 4 blobs on next 4 holes,2nd nice par 4 with stream running at an angle across fairway,3rd great little par3, 4th stroke 1 par 5,tough hole non of us scored on it ,stream zig zags down the right and heavy rough left,6th another nice par 3, theres a really short par 4 7th i think off whites 230yrds ,which if there is a weak hole would have to say that is it, 9th long tight par 4 with a long thin green,back 9 stand out holes are 10th dogleg left par5 great hole,14th stroke 2 par 4 looks great on the eye,between the dunes,really tight tee shot,18th finishing hole another fantastic par 5 ,frought with danger everywer,
it will definatinly get a top event in a few years prob scotish open first,its set up to host them,greens were abit slow but only cos they prob darnt cut them down been new and the amount of rain we have had,but plenty of slopes ,machrihanish dunes is prob the nearest course to it as ive played in comparisson
positive things
short game area is 1st class.
would like to play course in couple of year once everything has knitted togeather.
staff very helpfull
negative things
no course marshalls
no goodie bag at £150 a round 1st time ive played a top course and not got 1,
course planner £8
half of coke ,half of fresh orange £7.75
it is very tight around driving areas for average club golfers
