The West is the second course at Saunton Golf Club and was originally laid out in the mid-1930s. It’s shorter than its older sister but, nonetheless, the West represents a challenge.

I’d last played the East course 7 years ago so it was great finally tee it up see how the West compares with its bigger brother - I wasn’t disappointed.

Never has a golfing venue triggered me to judge myself so heavily.

The reviews on this site spend time weighing up whether the West or East is the 'best' course or most 'preferred' course.

Despite my own opinion being at odds with almost everyone else it seems, I don’t feel the West gets anywhere near the East as a quality course.

It was a moment which conjured memories of the great concession by Jack Nicklaus to Tony Jacklin in the 1969 Ryder Cup.

Being a younger sibling myself, I understand the feeling, particularly when I was younger, of wanting to prove yourself as the youngest in the clan.

Saunton West may be the little sibling of the two layouts, but it’s almost as tough and plays closer to the area’s tallest dunes.

To call this the 2nd course at Saunton seems to be doing the West a disservice.
