Remember the Less Heralded Courses on Golf Trips

Brora to Royal Dornoch. Ardglass to Royal County Down. Crail to the Old. Do you see the pattern? I like making suggestions in our tailor-made links golf tours to include at least one of the lesser known golf courses with the heavyweights. How about the fun 9-hole Bann Course at Castlerock, NI? Brora has electrified fences, sheep dung hurdles and blind tee shots. Ardglass possesses a cannon at your back on the fabulous opening drive and ghosts are rumoured to wander the historic castle/clubhouse corridors. Crail may be where Shivas visited with back-to-back par 3’s and a cave to explore for demons or artifacts. I ask people at the end of golf trips what they liked the most. It could be the comfortable coach transport, a pub with special music and craic or the wonky design of a local golf course with amiable members and a local whisky distillery. Support these golfing course comrades, especially post coronavirus. They are treasures to be experienced.
