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 .
