Covesea Golf Club - Scotland Hidden Gems Series 3

[@grahamhoughton5728]

Played Cove Sea by accident just after lock down. Went to play Elgin and couldn't get on. Went to Cove Sea, and like Simon said, we played it twice. Absolute gem of a course and the video can't tell the story of that piece of land. Its amazing. Well worth the time and effort if you can get there. Think it was only £10 when we played. Hats off the Mr and Mrs Burnett. 👏👏👏

[@golfmates5222]

cheers pal

[@MC-nb6jx]

Being in the industry I give a huge amount of respect for what Mr & Mrs Burnett have achieved 👏🏻👏🏻

[@gordonallan9164]

this has brought tears tae my eyes, grew up in Elgin and have played Elgin,Lossie, Hopeman and spey bay. this club wasnt in existence back then , I emigrated to Australia in 86, looks magnicent with Covesea Lighthouse on view, beautiful, love the videos guys great entertainment

[@spenst76]

Played a round there last year, after a round at Spey Bay in the morning. Great fun! Talking about hidden gems, you should visit Spey Bay. It deserves every visitor it can get!

[@andrewgallagher3475]

Covesea what a fantastic course. Simon is not only a wonderful golfer but he also comes across a lovely friendly guy. I’d love to see him on the channel as much as possible. I’m loving the hidden gem series. It would be a joy to play any of those courses. A huge 👍

Liam....you need to talk to the owners of these Hidden Gems courses, get plenty of high quality photographs and put together a Calender!!! I would love to have a yearly Calendar with holes from the various Hidden Gems. I will never be able to travel to these courses, and I would love to be able to look at these wonderful golf courses whenever I wanted!

[@golfmates5222]

thank you pal

[@ge1971]

"Gorillas in the mist" 🤣 What a fantastic hidden gem - bit gutted it's the other side of the UK from me ! They've done a fantastic job creating a course that follows the stunning natural landscape - one to remember if I ever find myself in the area 👏

[@GamingInTheFASTLANE]

[@golfmates5222]

Absolutely great golfer mate

[@brybry2k11]

What a fantastic mega tricky little course with fantastic views. Would love to play it. Simon must loving the tour. Great stuff golf mates 👍⛳

[@GolfMates]

Thank you

[@Chazthefurr]

Well done indeed for going to these wonderful gems..... many I have played (211 in Scotland) and a couple of which are still on my bucket list - Cullen & Covesea. (also Royal Tarlair). Went to Covesea ("Cowsea") beach as a child on holiday onthe Moray Firth - there was no golf course there in the 60s. But I played the excellent Elgin & Forres several times and also Hopeman back then when it had only a railway carriage for a clubhouse! (you were there on an earlier trip), also the 2 gorse-filled courses at Lossiemouth (where you think your next shot is going to hit a low flying jet!). Think the area claims to get the most sunshine in Scotland. BTW Our golf society has been playing a lot of wee courses this year - suggest you try both the Mackenzie Wee course at Blairgowrie and the one at Gleneagles too. And for a fun 9 try Auchenblae and a real fun 18 - Stonehaven. (these two quite close to each other)

[@johnnewman1206]

Thank you golfmates for showing us courses like covesea what an absolute gem people wouldn't know it was there without your videos ps well played Liam

[@golfmates5222]

Glad you enjoyed it mate

Love these types of courses mate, you need to come to Maggie Island in Qld Australia and play the elevated 70m par 3 😰

[@anthonyhammond8918]

This course looks like so much fun with amazing views, thank you for uncovering it.

[@golfmates5222]

cheers pal

[@robh69]

You've actually come across Andy Burnett's work before. I designed and Andy built Dragon's Tooth in Ballachulish, back in 2000/01. He's a lovely fella and very skillful at building golf courses. I'm delighted to see you bringing attention to his passion project at Covesea with another brilliant film. This series has been outstanding. Can't wait to see what you made of the amazing Mackenzie greens at Duff House Royal.

[@GolfMates]

That’s right he said

[@marcoroest2342]

Love the hidden gem series, 100% pure class! What a magical course! Whe don’t have that kind of magic in the Nederlands. Cheers from the golfmates in Holland👌👌

Great little 9 holes. Played it last week with hickories. Talking to Angela they are lengthening the first hole and making a dog leg right putting the mcKensie green back into the dunes. Also lengthening the second by moving the tee back near the new 1st green. Well worth playing.

[@GolfMates]

Sounds brilliant

[@paulmills7504]

Hi Liam I stay 5 miles from covesea golf course and never been to it . The jet that went vertical was a intercepter . A Unknown plane in our airspace. Never thought that course was that good. A nice wee training course for your irons.👍

Cheers 😊

[@ukgroucho]

What a fantastic course. I played Barra - after your review I made a point of taking a few clubs in the campervan for our Outer Hebrides tour - and this reminds me of that. Minimal cutting of fairways, shots over blind elevations - and, of course, stunning views. Playing around the cows on Barra was interesting too...

[@golfmates5222]

Cheers pal

[@grayumhutchison3287]

What a stunning looking course, great video as always lads.

[@GolfMates]

[@andydav3563]

Stunning course. I played there in July 2006 just after getting posted to RAF Lossiemouth. I remember the weather that day was red hot and when I pulled my ball out of one of the holes there was a little gheko lizard in there!

[@GolfingMalky]

Words fail me in trying to describe how good that course looks. What a layout and hell's fire, the views! That 90 yard blind par 3 is wicked - Id be there all day de-greening my shots. Cheers

[@golfmates5222]

Hi Liam, You should do a series of matches on municipal courses across England. Alot of municipal courses are closing due to government cuts (I'm on the wirral and we have already lost 2 in 12 months) so some publicity for them could help and save golf courses. you could give them a 'golf mates' course rating. These courses are vital for people who can't afford exclusive club membership fees or for those starting out. These courses can still prove a challenge in different ways.

[@golfmates5222]

[@drew2734]
