“The Kinloch club is a challenging links-style layout with dramatic, natural contours, and stunning views.The course can be tough, especially when the wind blows off the lake, but it’s truly an unforgettable experience. The Kinloch course conditions were 10/10 absolutely superb tees, fairways and greens with the thick blonde fescue swirling in the wind. A bucket list opportunity for all golfers. We will certainly be back for another visit.” - Ian Baker Finch
