Forfar
An unsung hero, Forfar has unique traits that
make it a very special place indeed. Is it heathland
or parkland? What about those rolling links-like
fairways? What it is, is a sweet combination
of elements that promises a remarkable golf
experience where every step is chaperoned by towering pines with
an undergrowth of heathland whin and broom. The heathland
attributes don’t end there, though, and the tight turf is a joy to play
off. But don’t expect an even lie… Forfar is renowned for its bumpy
terrain that ripples sharply across fairways, with endless dips steering
you through the subtlest of doglegs. Yes, it is a unique occasion and
while it is not long, Forfar’s bunkering proves endlessly deceptive.
Now throw in the names of Old Tom Morris and James Braid, and
you know you’ll need to play some smart golf.
