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!!!

What a tee shot by the Doctor on the par 3. Knows the game this fella 🤣

[@starks1974]

AWESOME!!!! Great content and promoting local golf communities.

[@GolfMates]

🙏

[@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

[@mondeogolf]

GMF Done ......................been looking for your video all day whilst in isolation enjoyed as usual keep them coming

[@jeffbates5401]

Liam absolutely beautiful course. Great video

[@GolfMates]

Thank you

[@tonyhutch147]

So glad you went there. I was a member there for a few years. 12th is still the most picturesque part 3 I have ever played.

[@GolfMates]

cheers!

[@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

[@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

[@mrkipling3841]

Another stunner! Beautiful course and very well played, gents.

[@GolfMates]

Cheers Mr Kipling

[@2dave24]

[@andewlea3772]

Lovely video great set up off a golf club and a great idea with the buggies on them holes stunning par 3. Both delaying well hope yournot on the deep fried Mars bars ,keep safe and well golfmates

[@GolfMates]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@johndixon4272]

Deep fried Mars bars were a joke but now only found in touristy places. Never seen one myself.

[@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).

[@merryfinancial2492]

Thanks for taking me to the Old Sod. I am Clan Gunn and Hopman would be a proper southern vacation!

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]

Cheers Steve

[@stevebrown5430]

@@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.

[@stuartmitchell7287]

Great job highlighting smaller clubs. Played there as a junior when it was a 9 so got to play that par 3 twice in one round. Really can tell you guys enjoyed 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
