My dad used to play Society golf there in the late 1980s (he was a quantity surveyor, too), and I'd caddie for him. I always thought it was great.

Then I visited two years ago, and saw just how great it could be. I barely recognized the place and was so impressed. It's a magnificent course, and that was a great article, Shane. Nicely done.

Thanks Shane, a lovely reminder of my visit last July, my first trip back in over 30 years and a real treat to explore the glorioulsy reawakened heathland and breathtaking contours.

It's a special site Peter right enough and will only improve under the guidance of Ryan and his team!

Keep an eye out for the pod with Ryan which I hope to get sorted over the coming weeks.

Great article

Not played the course since the changes but I have fond memories there

The design is a masterpiece and the changes will be an advantage

When I first played it 40 years ago it was very severe

Hi Richard

You still need to golf your ball around the hill, however, there's much more space for golfers and grass to breathe. You should try to schedule a visit to sample it for yourself.
