I knew you would be delighted by the enchanting challenges. Have you seen the R and A, RSPB short video? It showcases Hollinwell but I’m certain it could have been filmed equally well at Goswick. It is so worth the visit.

There are some lovely holes at Goswick, I played on my own while my wife walked round with me. It was a breezy day, like most on the links, but oh so enjoyable. Remember and get up to RA and don’t miss Cruden Bay or Fraserburgh either.

It's good to read your interpretation of a course I know reasonably well - beautifully observed and recorded. Next time, try Dunstanburgh as well - great things happen in the shadow of the castle.

One of my favorite courses in the world and you have done a brilliant job of capturing the spell it casts upon you. Although not a member myself, it is within easy striking distance of my North Berwick home and I treasure the opportunity to play Goswick when I’m in Scotland.
