I played there a few years ago and did think it was pretty good, but without ever being outstanding I would have to say.

Lots of OK holes I would say, nothing drasticly bad that I can remember.

I would say its worth playing but I wouldn't recommend driving from Edinburgh like we did just to play it

Did you enjoy it inoculator?

Trying to get a game with my bro organised for the weekend, so it's this or Cleveland.

I really enjoyed, which is saying something as I had a bit of a hangover & the Parmo was sitting like a lead weight in my stomach from the night before

Played it early morning with not much breeze which also helped.

Not the hardest links course I've played & but some good testing links holes with blind tee shots & some nasty greenside bunkers. Fairways (if you can hit them) were fairly good & level & not many crazy bounces/lies. Also the rough was still pretty well down when I played it so didn't lose too many balls. Course was in very good condition & greens were running quick in April so I predict they may be even faster now  

Just wished I'd had a bit more time to enjoy the course & get a few photos but golf wasn't the reason I was down there so had to play fairly quickly to get back into town in the morning.

I may be biased as I prefer links to inland courses but I thought it was pretty good. I'd agree with Johnny however that it's probably not worth the 3hr journey to go & play it but definitely worth a visit if you're down/up that way.
