Teeing off at Cruden Bay Golf
The first hole at the Cruden Bay Golf Club is an example of the complexity of this course. If you go left, you're out of bounds. If you go right, you're in the very tall rough. Your tee shot has to be precise to hit the fairway. Your approach shot to the green has to make it past the bunkers that protect it on all sides.
