Last night I was reading through Jim Finegan's book on Scotland again and picked up on a course I had missed before -- Stonhaven, in the Aberdeen area.  He makes it sound like a must-play: short and wild.  Has anyone else out there seen or played it?

I haven't played it.  But here are some facts about it from some of my books.5103 yards par 66.  SSS 65 (course rating).  Designed by George Duncan, the 1920 British Open champion and runner up in 1927.According to the Architects of Golf, he also did the restoration work on Royal Dornoch after WWII, adding 4 new holes to replace 4 lost to the RAF.  According to the book I got at Royal Dornoch, 6 holes were added after WWII at the north end, although they don't say who did it.  If it was 6, it would have to be 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11.  If 4 holes, 7, 8, 9 and 10.  6, 8 and 10 are among my favorite holes there so that stands well for Mr. Duncan.
