If there's one course every golfer should play, to understand the game's history, then this is it.

gave been 100 years ago. Some challenging holes and just
£12 for 6 holes or £35 for 18, May-Oct. Winter rate £25 per day - £100 buys a

clubs. They are additional to the holiday cost and should be
paid when you arrive at the club.
