The Golf Course

The golf course was laid out by John Pollock who was head shepherd at Auchnafree.

There are nine holes, plus about five thousand rabbit holes; sheep keep the fairways. It embodies the ancient spirit of golf, especially as the game itself started in Scotland.

Michael Bamberger in his book 'To the Linksland' refers to the Auchnafree course: "I had discovered real golf. Shepherd Pollock was the original golfer, and his flock's grazing land, Auchnafree, the original links. Auchnafree was an Eden, a nine hole Eden."
