Lunch

I and 3 friends went for lunch last week at Ballater Golf Club. We all had fish and chips followed by sticky toffee pudding & ice cream. It was very reasonably priced. Excellent food & service.

Best greens in Scotland?

At least today they were. Soft but super fast. The fairways and tees were nearly as good. Probably better than before the floods, this is where to breathe the air and realise how lucky you are
