The most spectacular courses in the British Isles
9. Cruit Island
Donegal, Ireland
Connected to the mainland by a small, stone bridge, Cruit (pronounced ‘Critch’ somehow) is a one-off. The 9-hole course in the very north-west of Ireland entertains and confounds in equal measure with its blind doglegs and tiny, hidden greens. Of course, there’s no excuse, well less at any rate, on the back nine when you have seen it all once.
