We have now reached the 6th and final course of our first trip away on the tour (or is it?) and having partially recovered from Darley we land at Darmilling.  We pitch up to find that we are asked to sign a petition to keep the course open as there are fears that it will be closed shortly. (We shall come back to our thoughts on that shortly).

Well having such good weather all week it has started to horse it down however it did not spoil what was a thoroughly enjoyable course.  Granted the greens were not of the same standard as Troon and other courses we played this week but it was a well laid out golf course although the back half is virtually on the A77.  I was actually surprised Stu never hit any cars to be honest given his fade (power fade!) but give him his due he hit it straight when he needed to.

Scoring was reasonable a Par 69 course saw a 71 and a 92.  Dongo trail was fulfilled with Craig carding 3 and Stu carding 3.  The signature hole was the 6th again a par 3 of 115 yards that is surrounded by water.  How Stu bumped ad ran a rescue club along and over the burn Ill never know but he managed it nonetheless.

So we finished the course and spoke to the starter who was a really nice guy and gave us some memorabilia for our trip.  We of course signed the petition and we hope that the golf course remains open for the locals who play their golf there.

Overall an enjoyable golf course and recommend a visit.
