Our Course
Our Old Course is a classic moorland layout that was designed by Old Tom Morris, George Sayers, and later refined by James Braid to the layout we now play today. The course is built on ancient glacial sands, providing firm undulating fairways that drain freely and large fast greens that are played year-round. Our course is a true test of golf, with testing fairways and strategically placed bunkers that require skill and strategy to navigate.
