When the rough and wind are up on this mature, demanding links, it will test every facet of your game. The par 3s rely more on guile than length, and there's an intriguing pair of backnine par 4s in the 13th, whose elevated tee gazes out to the Irish Sea, and the unforgiving doglegged 14th, where only long, straight drives earn an unfettered view of the green.
Panellists' comments: "A real golfer's club with a long heritage"; "Clubhouse redevelopment is a massive improvement"
