Tom Doak, the man presented with the remarkable landscapes at Kauri Cliffs and Kidnappers Cave, teamed up with Michael Clayton to formulate a layout that would be worthy of the amazing dunes.
Some of the sandhills can reach a staggering 100 feet tall, offering up a superb canvas for a seaside course. Little has been changed at Barnbougle, as the landscape is bursting with character as it is, but there is no doubt that the links land is home to a golf course of astounding quality.
