";s:4:"text";s:5423:" 2 Arena Park, That leaves what must be a record-breaking 16 par 4s. Also, the course is very compact, and was very crowded on the Sunday we played, at least for the front nine.
Any advice is appreciated. I guess Elie eliminates Leven at this point.
James Braid called the 13th his favourite hole anywhere in the UK and I can see why. Situated at the heart of the prestigious Eléa Estate in Cyprus, Eléa Estate Golf Club offers world-class golf in a stunning setting. Gary Nicol in association with Callaway and Odyssey by Elie is about as traditional a golf course as you will find anywhere in Scotland.

There were four of us (all ladies with handicaps from plus1, myself, through to 3). There are no three shot holes and just two one shotters. Aim slightly right of the marker post on the hill and you will be fine. Overlooking stunning Elie Golf Course, the 19 th Hole is a traditional pub serving up delicious home-made food, cooked with the fantastic local produce we’re lucky to have on our doorstep here in Fife. Dan Murphy We didn’t encounter any of that at all.A few small criticisms. But, the clubhouse is beautifully sited, and it marks your journey in quite well.

When that course is crowded, it seems like you’re playing in front of a Japanese driving range. Elie Golf Course, St Andrews. The first tee shot is unnerving (I’d advise staying a little left – a push or fade right can be a lost ball), and it rained hard the entire time we were playing 2 (a shame, because that is a great little hole). The club has a great historical background, having been James Braid’s home course. But finally the 18th is a wonderful closing hole; we all tried it from both the ladies and gent’s tees (no-one looking and no group behind to hold delay!).

The first hole is a tough opener, come prepared.The ninth has another blind tee shot. The favourite holes would be the 6th; directly westwards to a hidden green that had that lovely, extension-of-the-fairway sort of way, the 8th where visually from the tee there appears little fairway to aim at with a track cutting across diagonally to confuse the eye ever more.

I drove my final tee shot into the bunkers 50-60 yards in front of the green and was left with a difficult sand shot. The wind had something to do with it, though. Play the Kingsbarns, Castle Stuarts, and Turnberrys, but, if you really want the full Scottish links experience, visit a club like Elie.
