    There's Nothing Quite like a McArtney!!!A Genuine Links course. It is undergoing 'reconstruction' at the moment that will hopefully bring it back to its former glory. It is a
    qualifying course for the Carnoustie Open in 1999. The wind tends to be the biggest problem (for me anyway!!) especially on the first 6 holes, when the railway runs up the RHS of the course.

    I played this course last year with some local lads and it was my introduction to Scottish golf. The course was very dry and the wind was up but they had actually been watering in places. That made it very difficult to run the ball up on the green since it might be wet in front and cause the ball to jump up. Not terribly long, fairly open, some out of bounds on the first few holes has some penal rough in some locations but no blind shots or invasive water hazards.
