HOME TO THREE FANTASTIC MUNICIPAL COURSES:
Darley – recently tamed, but still recognised as one of the most challenging courses to play to your handicap.
Lochgreen – historical Open qualifier where Jack Nicklaus qualified for his first ever Open, a unique mix of links and parkland holes.
Fullarton – the shortest of the three, where rounds often take less than three hours to complete. Ideal for the beginner, it still offers enough of a challenge for the more experienced golfer as accuracy is key on the short holes.
