Darley Shore
The 4th runs toward the Firth of Clyde shore on the western boundary of the municipal links, where the terrain becomes indistinguishable from the more expensive ground 200 yards north. The same fescue, the same Ayrshire wind, the same ball that bounces low and runs further than the distance suggests. The maintenance standard is municipal rather than championship — the rough edges are rougher, the greens show more wear by autumn — but the land itself doesn't know who owns the green fee receipt. Darley is the correct answer to the question 'is there a decent links round here for under £30?'
