Holes 19-36 of our day (after Monty in the morning) and the wind kicked up as we approached the first tee - exactly what you want for a Ryder Cup course.

This is a brutal test from beginning to end with a 555y Par 5 of course a stand-out.

Picturesque halfway house, rolling hills, challenging holes, history - it’s great. Hard to pick out the best hole: 3, 5, 6, 9, 12, 13, 14 & 18 all hard to beat!

The entire facility is fantastic also - exactly what you expect.

2010 pips Monty Course purely for the ‘Ryder Cup’ factor. There’s something to be said for getting that pic on the first tee, your cart alerting you to random famous moments and then playing ‘spot the plaque’ on some of the fairways. Remember to ask the Pro Shop team at 2010 for a look inside the Ryder Cup team rooms.

Stay afterwards and enjoy the hospitality - it's a wonderful place.
