The 7,082 yards links course is a true masterpiece of natural design, carved directly through protected dunes and ranked among the UK’s top courses. It’s golf at its most authentic, just wind, natural dunes, and creative shot making. The fairways twist through wild contours, the greens flow with the landscape, and every shot demands imagination. It’s the kind of course that humbles you & thrills you in equal measure: unforgettable, untamed, and completely exhilarating. Constructed within a protected dunes ecosystem, it uses the natural landscape almost entirely untouched. Expect blind tee shots, dramatic dunes, and firm fescue fairways offering a traditional links challenge.
