Quite Frankly one of the FINEST Inland Courses in Britain
The Duke's Golf Course, St Andrews的点评
点评:The Dukes is an absolute gem of a course. Challenging but fun, brilliantly designed, no two holes the same and the views spectacular.
Having said that I HIGHLY recommend you make it a days experience.
We pitched up about 9am and were warmly welcomed by the Pro-Shop team who couldn't have been more helpful . They checked our booking, explained what facilities were available and suggested we head to the lounge for a pre-game Coffee and Breakfast Roll.
Golf was on the TV and the staff behind the bar couldn't have done more for us. We were made so welcome. Even the club General Manager and Golf Manager popped thru for a blether and gave us a bit of a history lesson.
As the sun was shining we popped out onto the veranda where the views were breath-taking.
As we were relaxing the pro popped through and told us we were on the tee in 15 minutes but if we weren't ready he could jiggle times.. how's that for service?
Out on the course the fantastic experience continued. Taking the advice of Graham(head pro) and his team we played off the white tees (our handicaps were all low singles) but there are a choice of 5 different (and all very different) tees for every level of player.
The course was very well drained having had over £1.7million spent on course improvements and the greens as good as anywhere Ive played. Peter Thomson designed something very special.
Id advise you take a gps as yardage is key to scoring. There are no quirky holes but all have a potential sting in the tail.
For me my favourite holes were the 6th, 9th,13th, 17th and 18th all simply stunning in their own way. This is NOT a slog but it is a challenge you can enjoy
Completing our round we went in for lunch which was great value and the food excellent. Service is first class.
All of us took advantage of the locker room facilities... strong showers, beautifully warm with huge fluffy towels. After freshening up we played pool and had a pint (in the locker room!!)
I cant recommend the Dukes highly enough and I haven't even mentioned the well stocked shop, Par 3 course and driving range!!
翻译:Dukes 球场绝对是一座瑰宝。具有挑战性但又充满乐趣,设计精妙,没有两个洞是相同的,而且景色壮观。
话虽如此,我强烈建议您花一天时间体验。
我们大约在上午 9 点到达,受到 Pro-Shop 团队的热烈欢迎,他们非常乐于助人。他们检查了我们的预订,解释了可用的设施,并建议我们前往休息室享用赛前咖啡和早餐卷。
电视上播放着高尔夫比赛,酒吧后面的工作人员为我们提供了无微不至的照顾。我们受到了热烈的欢迎。甚至俱乐部总经理和高尔夫经理也过来闲聊,给我们讲了一些历史课。
阳光明媚,我们走到阳台上,那里的景色令人叹为观止。
当我们放松时,职业选手突然出现并告诉我们 15 分钟后就可以上发球台,但如果我们还没准备好,他可以调整时间。服务怎么样?
在球场上,美妙的体验仍在继续。根据 Graham(职业高尔夫球手)及其团队的建议,我们从白色发球台开始打球(我们的差点都是低单打),但每个级别的球员都有 5 个不同的发球台可供选择(而且都非常不同)。
球场排水良好,花费了超过 170 万英镑进行球场改善,果岭和我打过的任何球场一样好。Peter Thomson 设计了一些非常特别的东西。
我建议您带上 GPS,因为码数是得分的关键。没有古怪的洞,但都有可能在后面刺痛。
对我来说,我最喜欢的洞是第 6、9、13、17 和 18 洞,它们都以自己的方式令人惊叹。这不是苦差事,而是您可以享受的挑战
打完一轮后,我们去吃午餐,物超所值,食物也很棒。服务是一流的。
我们所有人都利用了更衣室设施......强力淋浴,温暖宜人,还有大而柔软的毛巾。梳洗完毕后,我们打了台球,喝了一品脱啤酒(在更衣室!!)
我强烈推荐 Dukes,我甚至还没有提到货源充足的商店、标准杆 3 杆球场和练习场!!
