Whilst I never visited Woodall Spa before Tom Doak’s restoration, I have been lucky enough to play it 3 times since, as well as walking it a on a handful of occasions. Fr...

I have spoken to multiple Notts members over the years, all of whom had nothing but high praise for their course. Each time they would talk about the huge improvements th...

Dumbarnie was the 2nd course I played on a three-day trip, which was bookended by Muirfield and North Berwick. It only added to the excellent variety on our itinerary – M...

The formidable Royal Worlington & Newmarket Golf Club (also known as The Sacred 9) is a must play for any golf course architecture nut.I kept my expectations to a minimum...

I wrote a review earlier this year where I gave Porthcawl 5.5 golf balls, having not played it for some 4+ years. I was lucky enough to re-visit in August and I am happy...

Whilst I find the New course more fun and an easier walk, the Old is undoubtably the better course. It is long, but plays firm and fast which helps. It is well known that...

The Victoria course isn't one that I'd generally go out of my way to play. It is a resort course which is wide open. However, it is in great condition, the clubhouse is n...

Much like the Old course, Pinhal is nice but nothing special. Theres are some good holes (8, 10, 11, 14 and 15), but for the most part is average and forgetful holes thro...

I haven't played the Marquess Course, but if I was given 10 rounds on the Duchess and Dukes, I would split them 1 Dukes and 9 Duchess. For me the Duchess is a far better...

Whilst the Old is arguably the better course, I would rather play the New. It is shorter and more fun, and a bit prettier in my opinion. The new is still fantastic and we...

The Old Course is nice, but not as good as I had heard. Being an Algarve course lined with umbrella pines, there is only so much you can do before it gets repetitive. The...

I haven't stay in the Villa Padierna Hotel, but have been in it numerous times and will say that it is spectacular and if you can afford a night in it, then it's a must.T...

Something about the West course doesn't get me excited like Swinley Forest or Sunningdale does. A bit like going to Scotland and not playing links golf, going to Surrey a...

The Royal course is famous for its 16th hole, which is a lovely golf hole and makes a nice profile picture on Facebook. This hole however has given the resort a huge repu...

If you're after a fun, fast round in buggies with your mates, and you don't really care about the golf course, then Vale Do Lobo is a good place.However, it isn't cheap,...

The great thing about each Wentworth course is how different it is to the others. The East course is without a doubt the 'charming' one, and it is shorter and easier than...
Wentworth (Edinburgh) 08/05/2020

The Edinburgh course is thought to be the favourite of many of Wentworth's members, and it is easy to see why. The course isn't heathland, which you'd expect to find in t...
