    3 wood off the tee and cut the corner with a long iron is the way to play it. You probably wont hit the green as you would need a very impressive shot to get to the green but you will be up near it.

    A great hole and a ****er of a hole at the same time.

    Do they have an updated stroke saver I wonder that incorporates all the changes. Playing with a couple of lads who have never played it before and want it to be seamless as possible so they can enjoy the experience.

    I was up there about two weeks ago playing the Dunes course. There was no stroke saver in the pro shop but not sure if it was that they didn't have any in stock or that they haven't had one done yet?

    As far as I could gather, they have it done but out of stock.

    Is the new course layout available on BPS devices?

    I'm not being smart, I don't know a lot about gear, but should that be GPS? If so, yes, but you'll have to remember that the two loops of nine on the Hackett course have reversed, i.e what was the front nine is now the back nine.

    I don't know if that's a great move, to be honest, because the two holes that are now 8 and 9 were 17 and 18, and they're superb. I think they are better as the finishing holes than the end of the front nine.

    I’m heading down to Carne this morning.

    My understanding is that the reason for reversal of the nines was so that both the Hackett and WAD courses could be available on the same day. I think they have now made the sensible move to only have one 18 hole course available per day. Hence the initial reason to reverse is no longer there. Will let you know plans on my return.

    Looking forward to hearing the new plans.

    For it to work as intended i think they would have had to have everyone going off the 1st(old 10th) and playing that nine then playing the new nine. The issue i had with it, and i have said it before here i think, was that when you get to the 17th of the WAD course you were also meeting people playing the 8th of the Hackett course. Think there was 3 groups waiting when we played it.

    That sounds right; they had the only the Hackett open on the Saturday and Dunes on Sunday.

    I have a Shotscope V3 and new course wasn't on it but I think someone said this week on the Links Thread that they were able to get it on a different device?

    I had the Kilmore 9 on my Garmin last weekend.

    I have requested Shotscope to map the new 9 so hopefully will be available shortly. They have emailed me back requesting coordinates. I have got back to them and said that Garmin and golfshotapp should be a good reference point

    Re Atlantic Challenge in Carne. Carne have told me that the Atlantic Challenge in Carne this month will be played over the Hackett course, ie. the same course as has been played for the past number of years. Shame really, as I was looking forward to having a go at the new holes on the Dunes course which I hear are very good. I presume it may have something to do with the lack of GPS systems updates, etc. for the new layout.

    I have generated a GIS file of the greens and fairways and if you like, i can post here so you can send to Shotscope.

    Yes, bought one today! It’s a fiver and has all 27 holes (Hackett course if you open it one side, and WAD if you open it backwards). Very nicely done

    They had no stroke savers left when we played last, young man in the pro shop scribbled one down for us on a piece of paper. That's just a fraction of the hospitality we experienced, amazing place.
