The harsh winter took its toll on the greens here, but while that makes it difficult for it to rise up the rankings, that shouldn’t stop you visiting. It’s often lauded for its sensational opener, but there are better holes out there – with names such as ‘Balaclava’, ‘Punch Bowl’ and ‘Rorke’s Drift’, how could there not be?
