This picturesque hillside course, created in 1920, was designed by the legendary Alister MacKenzie, famous for his design of Augusta National, arguably the best course in the world. The 2 x 9 = 18 hole course only measures 5,702 yards but is well-designed and is renowned for providing a stern test, especially if the prevailing west wind is sweeping off the surrounding moors. The signature hole is the par-3 6th, measuring 160 yards.
