The five Scottish courses I most want to play for the first time
The Scottish golf courses I most want to play in 2020: Dumbarnie
My final choice is a brand-new golf course that hasn’t technically opened yet. It should have done, but then coronavirus happened. Dumbarnie Links, in Fife, is between Leven and Elie, just down the road from St Andrews. It’s the work of Clive Clark, who becomes the second BBC commentator to be name-checked in this piece, although it is a while since he last described any action to us.
As you can see, it looks fantastic and certainly enjoys an enviable location.
Some journalists, including my colleague Steve Carroll, have already enjoyed a sneak preview, which makes it all the more galling that I have not yet been able to see the course for myself. I promise to put that right before the year is out.
