[@keithedwardrushton33]

Brilliant Liam. Many thanks 🙏

[@TheGolfingCrowe]

I genuinely want to say, you guys produce some of the best content on youtube. Golf Mates is definitely a super underrated hidden gem of a channel

[@GolfMates]

Very kind cheers. Great work by the team

[@nigelplaysstuffsometimes]

When you hear 'where do we go from here' in the intro you know it’s going to be a class video 👍🏻

[@GolfMates]

LOL class! thank you!

[@ryandown4426]

Couldn’t agree more with you

[@manicoptio9305]

Whats so exiting about the release of this video is we're flying into Inverness and playing Hopeman TOMORROW!!!!

[@GolfMates]

Enjoy it, true links 👍

[@andrewmurphy4921]

These sre the videos i just love,a decent course/longer than 20 mins cant beat it,great stuff Liam n Mr Barlow

[@GolfMates]

Cheers andy!

[@larryd4352]

What a beautiful golf course! And £35 for 18 holes??? What a bargain! I was paying more than that for 18 holes at my home golf course back in 1992!!! The hidden gem is also a bargain! Liam, Mr Barlow, Smilee and Joe....you 4 are the best! I can't wait to see where you are taking us next!!!

[@GolfMates]

[@bradleyrounds9148]

Thank you for showing these gems. Nothing better than these "mom and pop" courses for hospitality and character. Hope there's more to come.

[@GolfMates]

Absolutely

[@johnkitchen4699]

Scottish golf. Best in world - friendliest golfers who just love the game. My wife was a beginner and loved golfing in Scotland because of that friendliness and their love for the game. We joined a golf club in England (where we lived) - she quit and has never played since. Great to have you and Mr B back in Scotland by the Moray Firth (not the Murray Forth).

[@alanstewart1238]

Glad to see yous both enjoying hopeman, played there not long ago was a cracking day out. I am just over the water from hopeman at Dornoch. Great to see yous venturing this far north. 👍

[@grayumhutchison3287]

A beautiful looking course, great craic lads as always lads.😎

Liam hidden Gems for sure and that might be understating it the course looked amazing and the views the views just Wow!

[@GolfMates]

Lol

[@marksanto3084]

Well done on supporting the smaller golf clubs, they are hidden gems great views with a good mate.

[@GolfMates]

👍

[@matbrennan2941]

Wow what a background to play golf with your best mate. That first par 3 was unreal Liam! I don’t even play golf but love watching your videos with Mr Barlow, OMP etc. I found your channel while I was in hospital in Nov and haven’t stopped watching since. Thanks for the laughs. 👍

[@GolfMates]

cheers mate!

[@smallcarpentry]

Great video again! Barlow doesn't know where he is but he can sink a putt! well done Joe on the camera!

[@GolfMates]

Glad you enjoyed

[@richardllewellyn2633]

What a shot into the par 3. Magic hands Mr B

[@GolfMates]

Absolutely

[@philexley4930]

I've played golf around the world and the length and breadth of Scotland and that par 3 at Hopeman is definitely one of the best I've ever played. Spot on about the hidden gems too. Scotland is littered with them. The second course at Nairn is also great in that area. I remember we went to Hopeman because it was close and there was a window in the weather and we were amazed at what a great course it is.

[@GolfMates]

Love Scotland

[@ianlamont825]

Thank you Liam and Joe for showcasing these hidden gems. Hopeman (and Cullen) should be on everyone's list of Scottish courses. Well played Liam and Mr B.

[@GolfMates]

Hope some visit as great area for golf

[@MJB9559]

Fantastic looking course and some great golf by my long lost golfmate Mr Barlow and yourself and Joe of course ⛳️😜👍

[@GolfMates]

👍😂

[@Phil_McAvity]

Courtesy buggy’s! that’s bang on that. Well done Hopeman GC 👍

[@GolfMates]

Great idea 👍🏼

[@prestonmcmichael3207]

Lovely course that. Think I'm going to have to arrange a wee holiday up north at this rate. Great video & we'll played Mr Mac Barlow 😄🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@GolfMates]

You'll enjoy it

[@raymondtymkin2079]

The mates I play with all agree that we're not professionals with perfect swings, so don't be so egotistical to think that only the big name courses are good enough for us. We love the hidden gems in our part of the world for exactly the reasons you highlight. The people are fantastic, the greens are usually good, the courses are well maintained, and you have a great time playing these courses, especially if they have local eccentricities like a port hole (where you get a free shot of port), buggies like you showed today or a pully system to drag you up the hill.

[@GolfMates]

Thank you

[@jeffreyewing1168]

A true gem, great video Liam !!! It looks like Mr. B has vast become a cult hero .

[@GolfMates]

Absolutely

[@richardsmith825]

Fantastic seeing this course again after nearly 13 years. I played the par three into the ravine exactly like mr Barlow. Great course. Just joined my first golf club today mate. So when Lee is free I would love to come and have that day with him mate.

[@GolfMates]

Cheers mate! Great place

[@moraghenderson7569]

As an old fart and a newbie to golf this year, I've loved Scotland's Hidden Gems and definitely some bucket list courses. Love Stroke Index Steve. 😂⛳⛳

[@tam1381]

Played Hopeman about 20 years ago, loved it. Many great Golf Courses in that area. It's the Moray Firth Liam.

[@GolfMates]

[@robsmith8862]

Big up 2 Mr Barlow & Joe 👍👍👌👌👌

[@GolfMates]

Tha k you

[@stuartguyan106]

Great vid again lads . Hidden gems are my favourite ones ( no matter what country of these isles ) . I played Tarlair ( McDuff , next-door to Banff ) on a football golf outing , before I took it up seriously . There's a par three there to rival that first one you played . It's clifftop links and you look down onto a outdoor swimming pool on the beach , it's awesome 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⛳

[@GolfMates]

Glad enjoyed

[@09Youba]

Beautiful course, I was at Narin but I didn' know about the other courses. When I go back I will play thses courses. Thanks Mates.

[@GolfMates]

Wow what a beautiful course. Scotland reminds me of Maine nice rocky coast and if you don't like the weather wait 5 minutes it will change

[@GolfMates]

Glad enjoyed

[@billhooks69]

Played Hopeman a couple of times about 24/25 years ago. Spent a bit of time in the gorse bushes. Not very pleasant I must say. However a wonderful course and that 12th looks even better when you're there. We based ourselves in Lossiemouth at a hotel overlooking the first and 18th fairways at the Moray Old course and played quite a few of the courses mentioned.

[@nikthedog1972]

loved it... keep the hidden gems coming as they are just as good as the big golf clubs and better priced for the average golfer... great playing from the pair of you's .. keep up the good work you all put in to the videos.. all the best to all golfmates.....

[@GolfMates]

Cheers glad enjoyed

[@stevebrown5430]

Really enjoying the hidden gems you are finding. Great courses with reasonable green fees. Well played both on those tough holes.

@@GolfMates no problem. I live near Newport in South Wales. Are you able to disclose the courses you are playing? I’d keep it quiet obviously pending the videos coming out. If you’re back down this way again let me know. Would love to treat you to a game at Newport Golf Club.

[@Chazthefurr]

Played Hopeman as a teenager when their clubhouse was a railway carriage. The 12th. was a great hole then and still is. There's a special one at Royal Tarlair (which I have still to visit) which many think is the best in the land.
