点评:A Golf Pairs weekend trip meant we were able to play both the King Robert the Bruce and Ailsa courses for a very reasonable price. It was well worth it, despite the 40mph winds and hail that assaulted us at times on the course.
The King Robert the Bruce is a lesser course, but would still be better than 90% of other courses in the UK. The work they have done around the turn really adds value to the course and holes 8-11 are all littered with stunning views.
The Aisla course however is the real jewel in the crown. It starts a little underwhelming but from holes 4-11 you are treated to some of the best views and hole designs i've played. Even as you turn back you are treated to some great holes. 16 for example is an excellent balance between risk and reward.
The one minor negative I would say is that we booked caddies for both days. One of the caddies was going out for the first time and had not even walked/played the courses before. This meant he was effectively a glorified buggy carrying the bags for both days. I do think a course like this, offering a caddy service, should send the newer caddies out with an experienced one prior to undertaking any duties. Their golfing ability does not matter, but the ability to steer you clear of any unforeseen danger and give you a good yardage factoring in the wind, and telling you where a good miss is are important. Thankfully the other caddies were able to offer assistance but at £85 + min. £25 tip it felt a lot for his contribution. He was a nice enough guy though and hopefully he learns and becomes good at it.
翻译:周末双人高尔夫球之旅让我们得以以非常合理的价格体验国王罗伯特·布鲁斯球场和艾尔莎球场。尽管球场上不时遭遇时速高达40英里的狂风和冰雹,但这次旅行仍然物超所值。
国王罗伯特·布鲁斯球场虽然不如国王罗伯特·布鲁斯球场,但仍然优于英国90%的其他球场。球场在转弯处所做的改造确实提升了球场的价值,8号至11号洞的景色更是美不胜收。
然而,艾尔莎球场才是真正的亮点。它的开头略显平淡,但从4号洞到11号洞,您将欣赏到我打过的最美的景色和最精妙的球洞设计。即使到了回程,您依然能体验到一些精彩的球洞。例如,16号洞就完美地平衡了风险与回报。
唯一的小瑕疵是,我们两天都预订了球童。其中一位球童是第一次上岗,之前甚至都没走过这两个球场。这意味着他实际上两天都像个高级球童一样扛着球包。我认为像这样提供球童服务的球场,应该在新球童正式上岗前,安排他们跟随经验丰富的球童学习。他们的球技并不重要,重要的是他们能否引导你避开任何意外危险,能否根据风向准确判断距离,以及能否告诉你哪里可以打偏。幸好其他球童能够提供帮助,但85英镑的费用外加至少25英镑的小费,对于他的付出来说确实有点高。不过他是个挺好的人,希望他能好好学习,做得更好。
