On a really good day all parts of the game good off 6 =. 78/80
Average day 85/86.
Bad day just pluck any score out but sure it wouldn’t be pretty or enjoyable.

It sounds like one dragon that even St. George couldn't slay.
I think Ian Fleming was a member. You'd need a bit of Bond.
I seem to remember Jack Nicklaus shooting an 83 there in the wind in an Open.
Your virtual score will depend on the weather conditions.

Looks like a fair few long carries off some tees, course looks rather green too.. no idea and don't think I well ever get the chance to play it tbh it's about as far away from me as you can get and still be in the UK :cry:

No further than Boat for me!!!
Oh I forgot. I didn't really play that, did I??
?????
I'm another 25 miles north of BOG

That was a cheap weeks golf though smiffy, what was Cs? £50, Nairn and Spey Valley a bit cheaper and bog was cheaper still, then there's accommodation, which is cheap up here. A few guys where organising a trip a couple of years ago... the costs were eye watering and that was just the accom?

From what I've seen today, anything shy of 120. It's long. Really long. Really really long. And that rough is mad. But god I want to give it a go. Just from a tee closer to 6400? That sounds more sensible to me.

would be happy with double digits. But could hopefully be nearer 90 if playing very well and wind mild. have played there a few times and length for length no harder than many other courses i have played - although not sure what some carries like 4 woud be off pro tees. Deal next door is at least as toiugh. All depends on the wind and the rough
