Bandon Dunes (Sheep Ranch) 30/07/2020

Gem

I agree with the other reviews in that this course will only improve as it grows in over time. This is a stark, dramatic piece of property with some ghost trees, less go...

Prestwick 05/08/2019

4^th 16^th 38^th

Prestwick certainly has the history but overall it's a quirky links course that has some of everything -- long par fours, blind shots, massive bunkers, drivable par 4's,...

Portmarnock (Championship) 05/08/2019

1^st 3^rd 16^th 48^th

This was the last stop in a 12 course tour of the Ireland, Scotland, and the UK and we got the full Irish here as the wind was up and they had let the rough grow for a re...

Carnoustie (Championship) 05/08/2019

1^st 5^th 10^th 28^th

Such a great course. We lucked out and had the "favourable" wind and brilliant sunshine but truly a thinking man's course. Bunkers were a challenge on most every hole e...

Castletown 05/08/2019

1^st 98^th

My second time playing Castletown in the past few years and I continue to believe that this is a hidden gem. Three years ago we played the first 9 in a pouring rain and...

Kingsbarns 05/08/2019

2^nd 7^th 14^th 43^rd

Played on a wonderful sunny day with only a breeze so the course likely played easier than usual. Still the course has plenty of teeth but, that being said, struck me as...

Castle Stuart 05/08/2019

2^nd 9^th 18^th 53^rd

While the old standards are certainly my favorites the newcomers such as Castle Stuart are no slouches. Had the pleasure of playing here on a sunny, windy day and it was...

Royal County Down (Championship) 05/08/2019

1^st 1^st 1^st 4^th

Been lucky enough to play RCD twice in the last three years and each time the weather has been spectacular and allowed play in shorts and a short-sleeve shirt under brill...

Diamante (El Cardonal) 24/03/2019

12^th

I have to agree with the other reviewer in that this is a course where little stands out as memorable. While you get frequent ocean views I preferred the Desert course...

Diamante (Dunes) 24/03/2019

1^st 32^nd 63^rd

Having played the Ocean Course at Cabo Del Sol the day prior which, in some rankings, is in the top 100, I was not prepared for the difference in quality as the Dunes is...

Cabo del Sol (Cove Club) 24/03/2019

2^nd 50^th

This course certainly has many "wow" holes along the ocean and is a stern test of golf elsewise as the amount of sand that flanks the fairways means that you are having a...

Cabo del Sol (Desert) 24/03/2019

16^th

I agree with the other reviewers in that it is difficult to be the "other" course in the shadow of a higher rated cousin. That being said this is a perfectly acceptable...

Poipu Bay 08/01/2019

9^th

The first review for Poipu Bay is quite accurate, both in terms of the description of the course holes and also the playability. I found it to be generous off the tee an...

Princeville (Makai) 08/01/2019

18^th

Given that the Prince course, despite the rumored re-opening, is still closed Makai is essentially the only game in town in Princeville for the near future. The 9 hole W...

Bjaavann 04/09/2018

9^th

I really enjoyed this course as it is a natural beauty. Fantastic elevation changes, great views, and a strong hole routing that challenges every aspect of your game. D...

Oslo 04/09/2018

2^nd

Played Oslo in late July and despite the harsh summer I found it to be in great conditions. Overall this is a strong test of golf but quite fair. There are no trick her...

Broadstone 04/09/2018

1^st 30^th 74^th

This is a very enjoyable course that starts off relatively benign and then quickly gains some steam. Holes #6 & 7 can be quite the challenge and the back also has some t...

Walton Heath (Old) 20/08/2018

5^th 14^th 34^th

Such a classic course that will try to break your spirit on the front 9 with a tremendous challenge of holes that play into the prevailing wind. The summer in the UK has...

Walton Heath (New) 20/08/2018

13^th 37^th 84^th

Walton Heath New was a thoroughly enjoyable course that featured a tremendous amount of variety in the demands of each hole. While the course seemed less challenging tha...
