Gracehill Golf Club
Stuart Hood GOLF WORLD
"If ever there was a course that required a warm up this is it. A decent opening drive will leave you with around 170-yards of pond to carry off a downhill lie into a raised green barely visible through a tunnel of trees. Get the ball in the air and pray. After the nightmare-instigating 1st a relatively gentle few holes follow before water suddenly becomes omnipresent. Because of this the holes that don't feature any wet stuff are a pleasant relief and really stand out from the crowd. The 13th is a tight tree-lined par four that wouldn't look out of place at Wentworth, while the 15th is classic par five played over heather and reminiscent of Woodhall Spa."
