Martin Hawtree’ s brief was to reinstate as much of the 1920s Alistair MacKenzie redesign as possible, a task he completed in 2003.
The links is full of humps and hollows and boasts a number of expertly-placed bunkers to catch out wayward shots.
I wasn’t sure about the par-5 4th hole, where you have to play a blind second over a large sandhill and through the 18th fairway to reach the green.
But the 12th is a great par 5, running along the estuary and the course has a very strong finish from the 14th in.
There are excellent views of the sea, nearby beaches, the estuary and headlands. SP
+ Inspiring views; excellent recent Hawtree renovation work
- Some holes cross each other; a number of blind shots
