...Niddry Castle GolfClub is a 9 hole course at Castle Road, Winchburgh, West Lothian, which is approximately 10 miles from the centre of Edinburgh and 45 miles from Glasgow. It is a parkland course playing around Niddry Castle with an 18 Hole length of 5518yds (Par 70)(4612yds Par 68 Ladies). It is fairly tight in places with water coming into play on 5 of the 9 holes. Another 9 holes are currently being built with a completion date of Spring 2003.
Niddry Castle itself dates from 1490 and it is known that Mary Queen of Scots sought refuge there in 1568. It is not an attractive building but it has recently been restored as a private residence and is not open to the public.
The golf course dates from around the time of the Second World War but lay dormant until the present club were formed in 1983.

Advantages: Stunning scenery, Not too long Disadvantages: Narrow tree-lined fairways, Irons must be accurate
...Boat of Garten truely is one of Scotlands hidden gems, and without doubt deserves to be recognised as the finest Highlands course.
Starting out, the golfer is not too enthralled by the first hole, which is an unremarkable par-3. But from the second hole onwards, one becomes aware of the majesty of 'The Boat'.
The second has a lovely meandering fairway leading to a wide green, and a drive to the left handside of the fairway offers the best chance of getting the ball close.
The third hole is a tricky par-3 with danger both short and long. Under club and you will be hacking out of heavy gorse, over club and you will be down near the tracks of the delightful steam train that runs alongside the first 4 holes.
The fourth is a genuine par-5, with large humps that will hide the path to the green. Stay left to get the best approach...

== Cartoon Golf at its best ==
I used to love playing the PSP version of this game, so I was really looking forward to playing Everybody's Golf on the PS3. And I was not at all disappointed.
