We like to say that it’s all your fault Barnbougle Dunes!
Why you wonder? Well, you already know that we are traveling the world playing the world’s greatest golf courses. But did you know that in the beginning, bringing our golf clubs wasn’t part of the plan?
Nope, our original plan was to travel lite. Let’s just throw a couple of t-shirts and flip-flops in a backpack and we’re off, was the idea.
But, as keen golfers, there were some courses around the world that we really wanted to play. We saw some incredible photos of Barnbougle Dunes, and wondered wow, how could we possibly travel the world and not play golf there? The more we thought about it, the more we liked the idea. So, we went back to dreaming and planning how to travel the world while playing golf. And that is how Puttering around the World was born!
Ranked sixteenth in Golf Digest’s World’s Greatest Golf Courses, and a true links golf course, Barnbougle is home to two incredible golf courses; Lost Farm, which we played first, and the Dunes course.
We played Barnbougle Dunes on an extremely windy day, and wow, what an incredible experience it was! Barnbougle Dunes is golf at its absolute best! With some of the greatest golf holes in the world, it is one of the wonders of the golfing world and belongs on every golfer’s bucket list! To be able to play courses like this is the reason why we travel to the ends of the earth. Hell, Barnbougle is why we golf. Period!
The course was in pristine condition. Characteristic of true links golf, the fescue fairways were firm and fast. They merged seamlessly into the large, undulated greens which were receptive, and offered multiple options to play shots. Due to the wind, we had to play many shots low to the ground. But that is what makes golf courses like Barnbougle exceptional. Just like the classic links courses in the UK, Barnbougle was built with ground shots in mind.
As we finished playing Barnbougle Dunes and stood there in amazement, we couldn’t help but realize that our dream had come true! It is courses like Barnbougle that made our decision to bring our clubs worth every struggle! We are living proof that golfers will drag their clubs to the ends of the earth to play spectacular golf. Even if they only have a couple of T-shirts!
