I played at Glencruitten in December 1970. I was 11. A state amateur champion (Hughie Bell) had emigrated from there.
It was 'raw golf'in a good way.

Was it as tight and difficult as the video suggests?

Tight, compact on land not suited to golf.  Short. Quirky.


We didn't play those holes, I think we played the first 10 and the 18th.
It was 50 years ago.  I don't recall the trees but the undulations and streams and blind shots and small greens - yes I remember them.


It isn't Boat of Garten nor a classic coastal links.

I walked the course about 10 years ago. It looks like one of those 'Insane Golf Holes' calendars in places.


Scotland's Painswick is how I'd best describe it.

I thought about Painswick as a comparison Robin, but it is too long since I saw Glencruitten..


I'm not sure which has more quirk, especially as I didn't see those back nine holes.
