CLUB COMMENT: The 1st, 16th and 18th have new fairway bunkers added. The 4th, 15th and 16th holes have been extended.

The world’s sixth oldest club was founded in 1780 and the glittering list of those who have had a hand in modelling the course includes Robert, Archie and Tom Simpson plus Taylor, Braid and Steel. Not surprisingly therefore, there’s not a weak hole to speak of, and the front nine is renowned as one of the finest in the world.
