Walton Heath (Old) 11/05/2020

5^th 14^th 34^th

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...

Vilamoura (Victoria) 11/05/2020

9^th 18^th

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...

West Hill 11/05/2020

10^th 33^rd 79^th

West Hill is well deserving of its rankings in the Top 35 in England, and Top 100 in the UK. Often thought of as the 'weakest' of the 3Ws, it is still not to be missed. I...

Vilamoura (Pinhal) 11/05/2020

21^st 45^th

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...

Woburn (Duchess) 10/05/2020

5^th 96^th

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...

Walton Heath (New) 10/05/2020

13^th 37^th 84^th

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...

Vilamoura (Old) 10/05/2020

4^th 7^th 45^th

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...

Villa Padierna (Flamingos) 09/05/2020

34^th

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...

Wentworth (West) 09/05/2020

4^th 13^th 33^rd

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...

Vale do Lobo (Royal) 09/05/2020

11^th 23^rd

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...

Vale do Lobo (Ocean) 09/05/2020

17^th 32^nd

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,...

Wentworth (East) 08/05/2020

12^th 35^th 81^st

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

21^st

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...

Trump International Golf Links - Scotland 07/05/2020

2^nd 10^th 22^nd 64^th

Trump Aberdeen is a tricky one, as it is so different to all other courses in Scotland. Before you start it is worth ignoring the name on gate and all of the controversy...

Woburn (Duke's) 06/05/2020

2^nd 49^th

I'm not a fan of the Dukes course. It is often raved about and ranked quite highly in the country (in this case Top 50 in England), mainly because of a couple of holes an...

Trevose (Championship) 06/05/2020

3^rd 66^th

Trevose is well deserved of its ranking in the top 70 courses in England. The course starts off really strong, with the first 4 hole being excellent. After this, there ar...

Swinley Forest 06/05/2020

1^st 5^th 19^th 54^th

I struggle to think of a more charming golf course anywhere than Swinley Forest. Located in an area filled with world class courses, Swinley stands out among the rest. It...

Vila Sol (Prime & Challenge) 05/05/2020

16^th 31^st

Vila Sol is a classic Portuguese course that weaves its way through umbrella pines. However, like most Algarve courses, it is very forgetful and most of the holes are rep...

Windermere 05/05/2020

8^th

Windermere is a wonderful course that is extremely fun to play. It is really short, but don’t be fooled, as that doesn’t mean it’s easy or not a proper course. There are...

Sunningdale (Old) 05/05/2020

1^st 2^nd 9^th 24^th

Those of you who have read my review of the New Course, will know that I prefer the Old. The Old is spectacular, and has everything you look for in a great golf experienc...
