I was expecting a lot from Balgownie - a course that I’ve been wanting to play for a very long time - and it didn’t disappoint. The renowned front nine is one great hole...
I only played Spey Bay this evening because I wasn’t able to get a tee time on the four other courses I tried first, but I’m really glad I did. It’s a really good, old-f...
