So you preferred Strathlene to Buckpool. Most do although I must say I prefer Buckpool. It's got more interesting bits to it particularly some of the greens. That said the par 3 at Strathlene that plays along the spine of the hill is probably the best hole on either course. It's been a few years since I played either but Strathlene benefits from not really having any vegetation in the middle of the course whereas Buckpool had gorse encroaching everywhere, is that still the case ?

Buckpool does have more gorse-it had plenty of good holes, just a bit of a turnoff on 1,10, 9 and 18 with the flat terrain guarded by small planted pines,


Strathlene shines with terrain on 2,4,5,6 10,11,12, 13,14,16,17-the hill in the middle that sites par three greens 4 and 13 as well as the par 4 10th dominates the property but there is good terrain on the mentioned holes as well.
