This historic venue begins with a blind tee shot over a hill (the starter uses a periscope) and the highlights keep coming early with the short 3rd described “as one of the best in the country” by former Open champion Kel Nagle. The quaint start is befitting of an old-fashioned course on which James Braid learnt the game.
