CLUB COMMENT: Invested heavily in the pathways, to hide and conceal them.

‘Created by God, designed by Arnold Palmer’ it says on the scorecard and it is impossible to improve on that description. The outward half is laid out on fairly flat linksland but it does benefit from being perched on clifftop which affords some fantastic views of the Atlantic. The back nine is more exhilarating, cutting through some big dunes and including some seriously long carries across ravines.
