Royal Ashdown Forest (West) 26/07/2021
10th
I really like shorter courses where play is faster and the average player has more par and birdie opportunities. At 5100 yards from the yellows Ashdown West would fit tha...

I have a soft-spot for shorter, more fun courses – pace of play is better, they’re more suitable for novices and seniors, and for us in between we can make more pars and...
St Andrews (Eden) 28/06/2021

The front nine of the Eden is one of the best nines in St Andrews. It is gently sloping links-land that plays firmer than its well-manicured sibling next door, with some...

I played The Old Course last year and was relatively underwhelmed. However, I’ve taken advantage of the easy access again and enjoyed it far more this time. Playing in a...
Musselburgh (Old) 28/06/2021

Well worth a try if passing through or if staying in East Lothian. It is council run but the greens were in excellent condition and the slightly lower maintenance meant t...

Woodhall has a big reputation these days so it’s natural to go into it expecting big things. I was a little underwhelmed, it lacks the grandeur and hills of some of its S...

There are certain golf clubs that resonate with you. Often it’s an intangible, the grounds have an aura or feeling that leave you content and fulfilled even if the weathe...
Formby Ladies 27/05/2021
12th
At first glance this is a short golf course. However, after a few handshake holes it plays at pretty much full length, especially in the Formby breeze. I had pictured thi...

I think S&A may be the least talked about course in this area, and I’m not sure why. From photos and Google Maps procrastinating, it looks as much heathland as links but...

I visited Birkdale for the 2008 Open, so to play it 13 years later was real bucket list material. I was a little nervous booking and arriving, but the customer service an...

West Lancs didn’t quite hit the spot for me like other courses in the area did. It is an impressive layout, with its two loops of nine meaning the wind comes from all dir...

What Lytham lacks in dunes and sea views it makes up for in character and soul. It is still deserving of a place on The Open rota, and from speaking to the extremely frie...

Much has already been said about the scale and grandeur of SGH, and I agree with all of it. It instantly goes into my 5 favourite courses. It’s diverse, dramatic, pure (o...
Saunton (West) 29/10/2020

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. A few greens are tucked into these hills...

Saunton is set on an amazing piece of land. It doesn’t feel quite as sandy as some other links, but the dunes, rumpled fairways and scenery make up for it. As a layout, S...

Playing with a large group, Royal North Devon split opinion exactly as you’d expect. Much of it as flat as a pancake, some holes seem as wide as they are long, and thanks...
