Following on from the review I posted of Ardfin yesterday, here’s a link to a video I’ve put together - Every hole at Ardfin from the air.
Enjoy!

Here’s my review of stunning Ardfin, on Jura. There’s a hole-by-hole guide with plenty of pictures and some insights into the overall package.
It’s probably the longest course review I’ve written but there was a lot to talk about with this one!

@steve_keipert @Gieusahaggis1 @Idris_Evans And isn’t that a skewed argument. As I’m sure the profit reported doesn’t account for the true costs of cart usage.
I played Ardfin today and it’s one of the most spectacular settings of any course I’ve played. Maybe only Cape Wickham gives it a run for its money. But it’s not just about the views - the course itself is just fantastic. Review to follow, but am thinking it will rank v high!
The best thing about the developments on King Island is that the original King Island 9 holer is finally getting the credit it deserves! Proper description of a “hidden gem”.
On King Island, Australia, before Cape Wickham in 2015 and Ocean Dunes in 2016, there was King Island Golf & Bowling Club. Built in 1932 by locals and maintained by volunteers, this rugged oceanside links has 12 greens and 17 tees that combine to form a hellaciously fun 18 holes.
@ukgolfguy I feel your pain. Still dealing with cancellations from my April trip. It’s just golf in the grand scheme of things, but still sucks. At least you can leave the country..
