The tenth is called ‘Scaus’ after the menacing, jagged rocks, seen from its high tee at the southerly end of the bay, which have been the cause of many past shipwrecks and is near to where the first oil pipeline from the ‘Forties’ field came ashore, though that is well-hidden under the dunes just south of the course .Â, The holes near the modern panoramic club house that sits proudly overlooking the links, are quite Royal Dornoch-like in their design with fall-off from the greens at one, two, seventeen and eighteen and a gathering-in at the third after a tight drive.
