| Memorable
Hole |
Make
or Break |
| 15th
(par 5) - with a good drive down left side of fairway it is possible
reach the green with second shot. |
3rd
(par 4) - a good drive over a burn to left of the fairway, followed
by a second shot up over hill to the green at a slight dog leg.
Out of bounds are easy enough to find to the left and bushes to
right. |

|
| Summary |
|
| Hilly
to start, but after the 4th hole it is a great course. There are
no better greens anywhere in Lothians and the views over Edinburgh
and beyond are outstanding. |
