点评:A group of friends and I spent a couple of days up in Fife playing the local golf courses that get overlooked in the conversations when planning trips away around St. Andrews.
On our second day, we were fortunate to play this absolute hidden gem. The front nine, which is still comparatively young at 30 years, is a lovely layout which is maturing very nicely. It has some quirky par 3’s and good par fours which make use of the local terrain.
The real eye-opener is when you hit the original nine-hole layout on the back nine. I can honestly say when I can’t remember playing such an enjoyable stretch of golf holes as was presented on the back nine at St Michaels. Yes, the part 315 is the signature hole. But to be honest, the whole back nine was good fun. Even on a day which had winds which gusted over 30 miles an hour, I really couldn’t care about the scores. It was just great to play such an enjoyable course.

第二天,我们很幸运地打到了这座绝对堪称“隐藏瑰宝”的球场。前九洞虽然建成才30年,但布局十分出色,正日渐成熟。球场上有一些特色鲜明的三杆洞,还有充分利用当地地形的优秀四杆洞。真正令人眼前一亮的,是打到后九洞时看到的原始九洞布局。说实话,我记不起自己曾经在哪家高尔夫球场打出过像圣迈克尔球场后九洞这样令人愉悦的球局。没错,第315洞堪称标志性球洞。但坦率地说,整个后九洞都乐趣无穷。即便当天风速超过了每小时30英里,我也完全不在乎自己的成绩如何。能在这样一条充满乐趣的球场上打球,真是太棒了。
