Quite simply one of my favourite places to play golf on the planet.
The first time I teed it up here I had struggled out of bed at dawn, but one look from the 2nd tee out over the North Sea to the far-off fairway and I was soon wide awake.
The layout squeezes the very best out of its stunning scenery with the famous Bass Rock and the island of Fidra looming on a dozen or so holes.
The 13th, which has a wall running along the sunken green, starts a run of three wonderful holes that can’t help but put a smile on your face. LN
+ Good value; old-fashioned friendly welcome; wonderfully varied views
- Quirky features may irk some; popularity means it’s often busy

A fantastic all round experience of Scottish links golf and hospitality.From the jovial starter to the friendly catering staff,(they even made the temporary portacabin most welcome) made our day really enjoyable. The course was a real tough test, going out into the wind and then coming back into the wind! (work that one out?) Favourite holes have to be 15 and 16, two amazingly different greens that we could'nt master.
Highly Recommented
