You may well do better on the second nine. If you are on your own, you probably won't be for very long. Strangers are very often invited to join members in a round. This is a friendly club. A beautiful parkland course, set in the grounds of Osborne House, the Island home of Queen Victoria, right up until her death in 1901.
Many trees grow within the bounds of the course and mature oaks abound.
When a member here, it was a local joke that mine was the only subscription which went entirely to the up-keep of the rough. I am reliably informed that the fairways are excellent, I may find out one day. The rough, on the other hand, is well known to me. I could write pages about it. Suffice to say I would rather have been on the fairways.
