Robin Repetto, Anne and Marc Escudier,
Hubert Launay and Andrew Finnimore.

Factory Manager Erik MacKenzie scored 48 for the nine hole course and was declared the 2015 Open Champion.

Local hazards include a lack of greens (!) exposure to gales and rounded volcanic boulders which, if, hit, will project balls randomly, often into the sea!

The course is principally a cattle pasture,
and also contains the buildings of the island's
scientific monitoring stations
(see Tristan Monitoring Stations Page for more)
visible as white structures in the course photos above.
