Once known as a masochistic course that punished all who play it, today the Castle is a playable, fun, and absolutely spectacular course. Let’s start with the land.

They shifted an insane amount of dirt to create this man made setting. While the golf course was initially known as difficult and unfair, today it’s been toned down over the years and presents a fair challenge. The fairways are wide enough and the greens are large enough to make hitting targets doable. Some of the greens are a bit wacky, but there are wackier at the Old Course! These are the most contoured greens I’ve played in Scotland. The fairways are incredibly bumpy and you will find some balls bounce into or out of the fairway based on which side of a mound it hits. It can be challenging, feel unfair, but also reward at times with good bounces. Overall I highly recommend the Castle course. It’s fun, beautiful, and certainly not a Doak zero! (Even Doak would say that now!) Super fun place!
