David,
Thanks for sharing. I was up at Golspie in May and I will second that the golf course was in great shape thanks to Alex's efforts. I played 3 rounds there and if I had time I would have played more. The course reminds me a little of Formby with the links and parkland aspects to the course. There are many wonderful holes, it is a beautiful setting, it is in very nice condition and the people are just wonderful. Play moves along quickly on the course as it is not overrun with golfers (which I suspect will change in the years to come). I can't wait to get back once again. Thanks for sharing the article.
