What's a unique highlight or a specific hole at Lumphanan Golf Course that really stands out?

Keep an eye out for the 7th hole, a tricky par-3 that demands precision over power, especially with its subtle undulations around the green. The course's overall charm comes from its natural, rolling landscape and the genuine local feel you won't find at many bigger resorts. It's authentically Scottish.
