Westray Golf Club or other Orkney Clubs??

[Beach]

Hi,
I'm thinking of going to the Orkney's with my golfclubs of course...
Now I'm wondering if it's worth going to Westray GC?? Anybody been there? Have any pictures from it?
Any info about the other courses on the Islands would be appreciated.

Regards, Beach

Not been quite that far up with the clubs but here's a very short video of a very small part of the course;-

Surely they can't actually be playing at midnight, even in the Orkneys? I've told people here in Spain that Scottish golfers might start a round at 8.30 p.m. and finish in daylight at certain times of the year because they get on with it. But midnight?

No problem, Shanker. I used to live in Nairn and you could play till 11.30pm some summer nights.

Thanks, doesn't say much about the courses though but nice to watch.
There must be somebody out there who has been there and can give some info or pictures about it?

How do you get a beer when you've finished?

Easy, When I was at a place called Torridon a few summers ago I asked the bar tender when they close and he said 'OCTOBER'
