But for a picture its 11th hole catching my eye in an Irish Tourist Board ad, I would still be none the wiser about the mouth-watering course they call Ardglass Golf Club.
Perched on a step, the 11th struck me as something a bit different but once I began the course tour at this Northern Ireland venue, I realised you could say the same of most of the holes. What a delightful combination of neat simplicity, quietly blended with the folds of the land and fringed with splashes of yellow and blue.
And a selection of par threes, by the looks of them, of which any course would be proud. Is it right, the recurrent feeling I get that the 7th at Pebble Beach hogs the scenic spotlight more than is strictly warranted?
Ardglass is a course that just makes me yearn to grab some clubs and play. You'll find a potted history and rave reviews here.
