Recognised as a National Scenic Area and a conservation site, Loch Lomond Golf Club is a beautiful, secluded course located directly on the shores of Loch Lomond, with a spectacular mountain backdrop to its other side. The course itself is long and challenging at 7,100 yards, but all hazards are visible and each hole is fully separate from the others. It is a favourite of many, not just for the quality of the course and the scenery, but for the attentiveness of the staff and exclusive nature of the facilities. |

Fishers Island Club is a links-style course on a narrow island that is a mere two miles wide and eight long. The island sits between the National Estuary of the Long Island Sound and a series of lakes and ponds, with difficult rough and large bunkers around the raised greens, making for an enjoyable challenge. The stunning views of the estuary and lush landscape complete the picture. |

Portmarnock Golf Club is situated on its own sandy peninsula, approximately two miles long and covering some 500 acres. The land belonged to the famous distiller, John Jameson, and from around 1850 the links was used as the Jamesons' private golf course. Being almost completely surrounded by water, the course is a windy one, and changes of direction are necessary throughout due to its double-looped shape, which runs very close to the sea at some points. It has hosted the Irish Open and the Canada Cup and is not an easy course, but the views are magnificent. |

Carnoustie is a very large natural seaside links course, one of the most difficult to play in the UK, and during poor weather it is beyond many. Some of the holes are fabulously taxing, particularly the final two, which cross water five times between them, and some of the massive bunkers seem quite unescapable. The 15th to 17th holes are widely regarded as the world's best three closing holes and the course has a great history, dating back to the early 16th Century. |

Tom Doak is a distinctively different and intelligent course architect and at Cape Kidnappers, he has created a course of great drama, interest, originality and beauty. |
