DESIGNER: Pat Ruddy (1992)
DESCRIPTION: Like his friend Padraig Harrington (who warms up for The Open here), owner and designer Pat Ruddy is a tinkerman who is continually looking to improve his links. The last winter has seen more changes, including ‘loosening’ some of the tighter fairways and adding more pin locations on two of the par-5 greens.
