Andy Cocker
Started playing golf in 2011 after a lifetime of tennis and football took its toll on his knees. Has now played over 195 different courses across the UK, US, Europe and the Far East. Home course is Wortley Golf Club near Sheffield. Handicap 9. Based on Top 100 Golf Courses best course played is Pacific Dunes in Oregon. Have played 19 different courses in the US, 14 of the UK and Ireland’s Top 100 and 17 of England’s Top 100. Aim now is to play as many of the UK’s Top 100 as possible and continue to play abroad at every opportunity.
Continuing my pursuit of playing all of the Top 40 courses in Yorkshire, today I visited Bingley St Ives. What had enticed me was the prospect of playing a course with pa...
I last wrote a review on Ganton in September 2019 - please see further down for the review. What has prompted me to write a brief update is the recent reviews on Ganton,...
Off the back of Keith’s review, albeit 3 years old, we booked a round in at Teignmouth. What we didn’t plan on was Storm Francis and the 40+ mph gusts ! It didn’t however...

There are so many gems in Northumberland and I’m delighted that this has been added to the Top 100 listings. I would add that Bellingham ought to be looked at seriously b...

Played the Cathedral Course yesterday, as following the Top 100 rankings, this sat higher than it’s sister course at this resort style hotel and spa complex. And I’m glad...
I cannot believe that no-one has reviewed this class part heathland/part parkland golf course just outside the village of Torksey and Brampton. Laid out over flat land bu...
In football you often hear the phrase 'a game of two halves'. Equally in golf you will hear some courses described as having 2 distinct nines (front and back). Well Ramsd...
Pleasing Pleasington. I'm so glad that I followed the Top 100 Golf Courses rankings and not the doom slayer reviews of 2 and 3 years ago. This is a class heathland track,...
I played Lindrick Golf Club on Monday of this week, with air heavy and the weather overcast, adding to the brooding feel you get as you play this high quality track.Revis...
I played Hallamshire last week, on a hot, dry, sunny and windless late afternoon. The weather could not have been better. Usually I play Hallamshire in the wind and rain....
Whilst not on the same level as its more salubrious near neighbours, Norwood Park’s 27 hole layout, set in the grounds of Norwood Hall, makes for an alternative pleasant...
I visited Hillsborough GC again yesterday and whilst not needing to do a full detailed review (did one last year) I thought a brief update would be useful.I viewed each h...
This year was going to be my best ever in terms of playing new courses and until lockdown I was on a mission. That then ground to a halt and initially post lockdown, my g...

Literally just a stones throw away from Forest Pines is the little known Holme Hall Golf Club. Played here yesterday as the search for fast draining playable courses cont...
Played today on a bright and sunny afternoon, but following heavy rain over last few days. Delighted that we were on 12 full greens. That says something about the course,...
I completed my February golfing/walking break with a stay and play at Hawkstone Park. For £99 for 2, we got 3 course meal for 2, breakfast, stay and a round of golf each...
I played this course today with my wife, just after Storm Dennis and with the wind blowing and rain in the air - I loved it!
I had read the reviews beforehand and deci...
