 I first seed on Donald Lynx. I'm going off that bunker on the left. Bit of cut to chase it down there. Down so easy, doesn't it? Oh, hello. Bit of cut off the left and that's right down the middle. That's a nice start of the day, on Donald Lynx. Let's see what's happening here. I haven't been here for a couple of years and I'm looking forward to this. Second hole is an absolute beauty. Dog leg left to right. A couple of bunkers you can see. Framed, absolute stunning. Can we get another ball going down there? Oh, come on, hand. Out the car park. Off the blocks here. Don't go into that second bunker. It's gone into that second bunker. Great bit of course design. You don't want to go tight to the right. We haven't got the confidence to go tight to the right. So you keep on this left hand side and you've got this little bunker that obviously gathers off the camber. Again, as much as I don't like being in here, you've got to understand how the course has been put together. So I'm afraid. Driver to 60 degree wedge. I'm afraid. That's a shock gone. I just played an iron in. We're on the second hole. I already remember one of the key features of this course and how difficult it can be. Pitched up on the top, looked okay pin iron and it just starts to gather and you see it disappear down these banks. Then all of a sudden you've got a real tough shot now. You've got to get this up the hill and somewhere near that flag. That's not a bad effort. Go on ball. Oh hello. Touch your survey there because that was a tough hole shot. I'll play it with an eight iron up the hill and I'll take that any day of the week. You think you're close to the flag and then you're coming and it's like 25 foot away and it's no easy to put. Up the hill and then rolling away. Keep going, keep going. Keep going, keep going. Greens are pure and fast as well. She's happy with that too. Put from there, he says. Yeah, take that. He's still smiling. Greens are so good and so quick. Duneddonal displays maturity beyond its age. A lower course was laid in 1911. Following World War II the landscape had laid dormants until 2003 when Kyle Phillips brought this course back to life. We've got a gorgeous day for it. We're enjoying the golf but there's a lot going on in 21 in terms of some other exciting things on the course. Absolutely. It's one of the most exciting years in Duneddonals history to be honest. The course opened in 2003 but we're just about to have £25 million spent on the complex and develop a clubhouse and accommodation on site. Improvements to the golf course itself. When you say accommodations Hotel or lodges? We've got 18 lodges and 22 rooms that'll be very close to the clubhouse so you're really close to where all the action is. Lovely. We're really excited about it. When do you expect that to be is there an opening datas yet? We haven't got a specific date but we'll be open mid to end of September next year. The project hasn't been completely confirmed yet in terms of time skills but we're not far away. So we need to get a tea time book for September 2021. I think you will. Perfect. Still leaves a bit in here. Greens I don't know. Pretty close to the fastest greens I've played this year. You can't be too bold I can tell you because you're soon ready to buy and that's a twitchy one. Say the least. The changes in elevation both fairway and green are very much a feature throughout a greatly varied 18 holes of golf. I made our way to 13 and it was a great old just played there 12. I absolutely love that but the minute I see a railway line running parallel then you've got that sort of it's a must on any links. We've got the water over the other side we've got the isle of iron in the distance and it's nice. Really nice and a great golf hole like I said running parallel with the railway down the left. 370 stroke 9. There's not a lot of room rolling fairways need a three iron going down the middle. I say that with a grin on my face that's why I'm grinning. Oh not another bunker. No. Yep another bunker. These bunkers are in all the right places you know it depends which way you look at it. Another great piece of course designing on 13. Absolutely love this so you've got a reason I got mid length iron to say the least and you want to get to that front flag and there's a burn that you can see now literally I don't know it's probably 15 yards short of that pin. So that's a tough ask so what you do the average golf will do is take along the club and make sure you carry the burn and then you go long near end up here and you've got an absolute nightmare to put from the back here and that's the kind of thing that I love about this design it's so well designed of course. Let's just see how I get on with this first of all roll down a bit well that's a good effort. I'd take that any day of the week but the point is yet again this Kyle Phillips design it's so clever it keeps asking questions of you all the time and playing tricks with your mind the shot you might want to play is not the one you end up playing. Over that pin in your ball we'll go over that pin enough club don't be short otherwise a big bunker awaits ah it's short. Yet Cabello bailed it to what was it eight foot from 275 yards that ain't going to be my finish but in terms of Don Donald Lynx it was in fantastic condition greens were superb. It's a tough old track and it's asked questions of your game I've mentioned about the quality of the design which I think is fantastic I've played one other course of Kyle Phillips which was Yas Lynx over in Abu Dhabi and it's got similarities the climate is a bit different but it's definitely similarities in the design and I really like him as a designer of course designer but yeah as you've already heard there's going to be some interesting changes in the next 18 months or so so I'll be interested to see how Don Donald transforms how it matures but it feels like it's been here for years already and I think it's only going to get better fantastic golf course really was
