What people discuss
Independent golf reviews are very strong, repeatedly praising the conditioning, strategic challenge and historic character of the course. Broader public feedback also speaks well of the staff and facilities, although a small number of dining comments are sharply negative, so service sentiment is less uniform than golf sentiment.
