One of the top rated courses in the world, this classic seaside links was pricey but was an amazing experience. You are greeted by a host that guides you to either the dinning room (proper attire needed –no hats) or the practice area until your tee-time.
Breakfast or Lunch is included. We would recommend a late morning tee-time. Enjoy a hearty breakfast to fuel your walk! No Buggies (Golfcart) allowed unless you provide a medical note, but they have Trollies (Pullcarts) if you do not carry your clubs. You can arrange for a caddie for an additional fee, but are not needed as the yardage book (a must, 5 Euros) is well labeled.
Holes 12 – 15 are seaside with fantastic views and winds. Now apparently the winds we experienced was not windy at all for the locals, but be prepared for changes in weather – dress in layers and bring a light rain jacket.
Tons of fescue and deep bunkers with light fluffy sand, which makes it a smidge easier to escape (and according to Jeff the best bunkers he has ever hit from). Watch out for the blind tee-shot on hole 5, yardage books says to aim for two tall chimneys, but if it's cloudy they will not be in sight – rather, aim for the large white “dot” on the hill!
Jeff eagled the Par 5 6th Hole but didn't get to witness it - thankfully Liz was in view to see the ball drop from Jeff's pitch from the rough about 90 yards away (see photo below upper right!)
