Improving every year with subtle amendments including several raised tees to improve visibility. The West provides greater variety than the East course and is more playable for mere mortals.

I find it surprising the West is rarely mentioned among the best modern courses of GB&I because it stands up well with many more modern designs such as Dundonald, Carnegie and Castle Course. Perhaps it is the lack of flair which holds it back for the course doesn't rely on pretty bunkers or flashy shaping. The West is no frills straight-forward golf which plays surprisingly difficult. Many will play the West because the East is next door. While the two courses share similar terrain, the West is generally more adventurous as many of the holes run through the dunes, but they never elicit a sense of restriction or isolation. Instead, the golfer is teased from flat terrain into more rumbling stuff with a grace that belies its 1970s origins. As such, the West compliments the East very well and should not be missed.

Always been considered a second course here, but make no mistakes, this is a very very good course in it's own right much less severe and more fun with plenty of variety while it moves through the tall dunes.
