We always recommend playing Cannongate 1 in late spring or early fall. The weather is usually perfect-crisp mornings and comfortable afternoons-and the course is in peak condition without the peak summer crowds. You'll get a much more relaxed round and truly appreciate the landscaping.

You absolutely have to experience the 14th hole, a par-3 that plays over a ravine to a well-bunkered green. It's not just visually stunning; it demands a precise iron shot to avoid trouble. We think it's the course's defining moment, offering both beauty and a genuine challenge.
