Skene Valley is a great course for this area. It's pretty wide open so you won't lose many balls. The greens are in excellent condition and the sand traps are well maintained. Pace of play has not been an issue for me. It's actually a rather long course so make sure you play the correct tees - playing from the whites is more than enough. Plenty of hill and undulations, I wouldn't want to walk the entire course. The 19th hole is a great spot with solid food and beer and a good view of the par 3 9th
