Torwoodlee Golf Club

Lovely Course, Lovely Views

My round was played after a fairly wet spell, so the course was likewise wet and I probably didn't see it at its best. This is a parkland course with gorgeous views of the nearby hills, and once you cross over the railway bridge it starts to play like you're on a hill, with lots of sloping lies and a pretty fierce climb up to the 5th green.

While the fairways aren't wide, there isn't a huge amount of trouble that will stop you from at least finding your ball. The course is generally in good condition, although a few of the tees looked in need of some TLC.

The clubhouse isn't huge but it is very friendly a welcoming, and I was indebted to the guy behind the bar who lent me an umbrella for my round. You certainly don't get that at a lot of clubs.

Lovely course, lovely views.
