Panellists' Comments: "A special experience to tee off in the shadow of the iconic clubhouse with all the memories of the great tournaments in your mind"; "A very modern test that requires some huge hitting off the tee and lofted shots into the green - more suited to better golfers but all will enjoy the experience of playing the West"; "The major Els changes have brought together all the more piecemeal tinkering of the past decade and made this one of the toughest tests there is for ordinary golfers"; "Very memorable but unless you are very well off it's one to play on a corporate day when someone else is paying!"
