Played Scotscraig recently 150th at HQ. Glad we played with a member as the fairways were hard to see and evenharder to hit. Played nicely thanks to some local knowledge. Hard to pigeon hole Scotscraig...Heathland? Linksy? Parkland? Maybe a bit of both. Undulating and tight fairways, a good set of par 3's and getable par 5's plus the complexed greens made for an excellent test and great fun too. I really enjoyed it!!
