Twice a Ryder Cup host, ‘S&A’ remodelled two greens, the 4th and 10th, last winter. Both add zest to the already entertaining layout. The 10th is the more dramatic: the once raised green now sits much lower with a gradual back to front slope, and a bunker has been added at the front left of the green.
