Had an interesting discussion today with a few of the Highlands locals about the par 3's at RDGC and Golspie. It seems the set of "threes" at Golspie are considered better by many, as a set, than those at RD.
Golspie has five 3's (2,6,10,16,17) and they all play to a different point on the compass. Each is totally different from the others, varies greatly in the shot required, and play to a great range of distances.
The RD 3's (2,6,10,13) do not offer the variety of style or challenge of the Golspie 3's, my friends argue. The RD 3's only play in, basically, two directions and (with the exception of the exceptionally difficult second) offer a somewhat similar challenge.
We had great fun playing this "who's best" game.
What say you?
