点评:Played the course 05/10/26 as a solo golfer.
First of all the friendlyness and welcome from booking staff, pro shop staff, door staff at entrance to the clubhouse, starter and bar staff was top notch and I was made me feel very welcome. Everyone treated me like a member and was happy to chat to me. Trust me this does not happen very often at big clubs where the Open has been played, especially if you are a solo golfer.
Onto the course was really looking forward to playing it and it didn't disappoint. Unusual for a championship layout with the par 3 start but it is not that easy as my 6 iron found the left bunker. This was one of the few bunkers that I managed to get out of fairly easily. Enjoyable front 9 and then the back 9. Found a lot of bunkers on the back 9 some of which are brutal but gives you a really stern test. Your driving has to be on it from the tee. Avoided all 17 bunkers down the 18th and finished with a nice par. Superb finishing hole with the historic clubhouse behind. Greens in immaculate condition.
Clubhouse itself is impressive and some great golf history upstairs so don't miss that.

首先,从预订处的工作人员、专业用品店店员、俱乐部入口处的接待员、发球员到酒吧工作人员,他们的友善与热情都堪称一流,让我倍感受宠若惊。每个人都把我当作会员一样对待,还很乐意与我交谈。相信我,这种情况在举办过英国公开赛的大型俱乐部里其实并不常见,尤其是对于独自打球的球手而言。我一直很期待能在这条球道上打球,它也确实没有让我失望。作为一条锦标赛级别的球道,它以一个标准杆3杆的开球洞开始,这倒有些与众不同;不过打起来可并不轻松——我的6号铁球杆差点就打进了左侧的沙坑。这也是少数几个我能相对顺利逃出的沙坑之一。前9洞很有趣,后9洞 likewise。后9洞上有很多沙坑,有些简直难缠至极,不过它们确实能给球手带来极其严峻的考验。从开球开始,你的击球精准度就必须保持在高水平才行。成功避开了第18洞上的17个沙坑,最终以标准杆数完赛。这是一个非常出色的收尾洞,身后就是历史悠久的俱乐部会所。果岭状况极佳。
俱乐部会所本身也令人印象深刻,楼上还陈列着许多宝贵的高尔夫历史资料,千万别错过哦。
