As a golf course I find it pretty embarrassing that our national open is held there so often. It looks quite boring and basic. Surely we have a multitude of courses in the country that would be better suited to host the modern game. As for designating it a Heritage site in order to stop it being developed, that is also embarrassing. It is not famous in any way, shape or form outside of the very narrow confines of a select group of outdated people who are living in the 70s and 80s.
