gotta love this unique golf course. Amazing setting and I actually thought a good number of the holes were interestingly situated and set up. An emphasis on the traditional 'blind greens', so a map of the course would be helpful - especially on the back 9 where finding the green you're aiming at was really difficult, they're well hidden! I believe a map is available from teh spar in the village.

I traveled to England and Scotland as a chaperone with our church's youth group, visiting sites of religious significance, among them Iona. The day before we traveled to Iona we payed a brief visit to St. Andrew's. As an avid golfer, it was a bittersweet day. I got to see The Old Course, but there I was in Scotland, the birthplace of golf, and there would be no time or opportunity for me to play while I was there. Fast forward to Iona. After arriving, we were taken on a walking tour of the island by a guide. At midday, we paused on a hilltop for a rest and a bite of lunch. As I sat there eating my sandwich and looking out over the coastline, I spotted what appeared to be a flagstick, standing in the middle of a pasture with a cow casually grazing beside it. Excited beyond measure, I quickly approached the guide and asked him if what I was seeing was real. "Oh yes," he said, "there's an 18-hole golf course out there. You can buy a scorecard and course map from the post office in town, and the inn across the street has clubs for rent." Giddy as a schoolgirl, I rushed back to town after the tour was over, obtained the aforementioned scorecard and a bag full of yard-sale-quality golf clubs and headed out to the course. In terms of course conditions, it was easily the worst course I've ever played in my life - and I've played some doozies. Not surprising, given that the course maintenance staff are all four-legged and the only tools at their disposal are their teeth. Believe me when I tell you though: NONE OF THAT MATTERED IN THE SLIGHTEST! It was hands-down the most amazing and memorable round I've had in my life so far. A truly authentic and spiritual golfing experience. If you ever get a chance to go to Iona, take advantage of it and bring your clubs. I dare to say that you'd be hard pressed to find a better place to experience what golf would have been like in the early days of the game. Truly blessed to have been able to see and play this course.

Magnificent scenery, course perfectly manicured with manure. I had difficulty finding some holes on the back nine.
