Golf has been played here in some form since 1876, although five-time Open champion James Braid oversaw a major redesign of the course from 1932-1935. Locals describe this somewhat low-profile course as enjoyable and challenging; certainly the scenery from certain parts of the course is worth the price of admission. One note: While par from the white and red tees is 71, it is 69 from the yellow tees (holes 4 and 6 play as a par-4).
