An amazing experience and more deserving of a Top 20 ranking than several courses such as Pebble and Portrush in my view.

They are all excellent and the views are excellent even now (I understand pre-construction of a necessary beach wall, they were even better). A reasonable train ride out from London and a great place to play, stay and then play again.#N#May 21, 2020
