Course Description
By WN Gardner (Three3pks@aol.com)
This is a true links course where almost every hole has a blind shot.
What a wonderful course! Challenging, yet 12 holes is perfect. Minks cross the fairways, the wind comes up, the rain pummels one, but it's fantastic. Tea after a game and then over to the Blackwaterfoot Hotel. Perfect day.
The Shiskine Golf Club on the Isle of Aaran envelopes challenging holes and fairways incumbered by the occassional breeze and minks running about the course. 12 holes is entirely entertaining at the same time. My grandfather was a course designer in Canada having trained in engineering at the University of Glasgow. Had he been alive when I played the course, I would have loved to have discussed the terrain, etc with him. Surely he played the little course on the cliffs above the cave where Robert The Bruce 'talked to the spider'.
