The original design and layout of the course have been tweaked slightly, bringing it in line with modern safety needs. The old course had several holes which crossed each other, which made many a player holler ‘fore’ and dodge flying balls! What makes Kingarrock truly special is the unique environment we’ve created, using a combination of historically inspired groundsmanship with a few modern touches, and sheep grazing among the rough.

Greens and collars are hand-cut, while fairways and tees are carefully mowed using 1920s-style trailed gangs. No fertilisers or artificial irrigation are used anywhere on the course, which provides a more natural, less manicured (and therefore more authentic) feel than most other courses.
