Played Wick at the end of May 2010. Green Fee £25 in the honesty box. First impression is that the course looks a little desolate without much definition to the holes. Traditional links course - 9 holes out and 9 holes in and, as you get into the round, there are some excellent holes particularly in the strong wind which was around when I played. Some good par 3's and generally the greens were in very good condition.
Don't go looking for a spot of lunch before your round or a nice meal afterwards as facilities in the clubhouse were limited to a bar and pre-packed sandwiches (to be fair I don't know if this is the norm or just the case on the day I visited). Overall, if you've travelled that far north, for whaterever reason, it's well worth a visit.
Wonderful links course bordering Sinclair Bay. Having played a number of links courses in England, I'd be hard pressed to choose anything above Wick. For this time of year (the middle of winter), the course and the green were in fantastic condition just a little standing water on edge of the course after the previous nights rain. In fact, the course was in better condition than some parkland courses Ive played in the middle of summer seriously!
The course layout has the first nine straight-out going West away from the clubhouse, and back-nine coming East. A wall of high dunes protects the course from the North Sea, so there is some shelter from the sea-wind. If you can hit straight and it's not too windy, then you might think this course is a doddle, but I hit a couple of stray balls in to the rough and never saw them again the rough is thick! Be warned, Caithness can be a very windy county I think I was lucky with only a light breeze.
Fantastic vale for £12 (winter green fees)
