The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
A links-inspired, largely treeless Tom Doak design with rolling fairways, deep bunkers, and wide-open wind exposure, often cited as the best of the three Legends courses.
Consistently praised
- Golfers praise the authentic links feel: few trees, big open vistas, rolling ground, and deep bunkers that reward creative, run-up shots.
- Wide, forgiving fairways make it playable across handicaps while still testing better players from the back.
Worth knowing
- With little to block it, wind is the main defense, and an exposed, breezy day plays much harder than the card.
Golfers recommend
- Expect to play low, controlled shots; the links style rewards keeping it under the wind.
- Best done as part of a Legends stay to compare against Moorland and Parkland.
