The five Scottish courses I most want to play for the first time
The Scottish golf courses I most want to play in 2020: Reay
There is a theme developing – namely of courses that I have visited but not played. Next up is Reay, which finds itself on Scotland’s north coast. Simply head to Thurso and turn left. It’s a bitter pill to swallow when you drive all the way to Reay and then can barely manage to get out of your car, let alone go and play golf. Such were the scenes on my arrival back in September 2018.
What you can’t see in these pictures is that wind speeds were 50mph, gusting to 80mph that day.
However, I will return. On the kind of day it is in the main picture, with a bit of luck.
