Author Sam Cooper almost drove past this jaw-dropping 10-hole layout and had to consult a map to find his way to the simple clubhouse. He was certainly glad that he took the trouble once he was striding down the fairways at a course that is well over a century old. Host Dan Murphy, editor of NCG Top 100s course rankings, is gobsmacked by Sam’s description of the par-3 5th, where the green is on top of a seriously large rock. Only one question remains to be answered: does he class this as a links?
