Royal Westmoreland 23/02/2011
1st
7th
I played Royal Westmoreland a couple of weeks ago during a holiday in Barbados. The approach to the course through the ‘estate’ is of course impressive and the clubhouse...

I played the Country Club course at Sandy Lane a couple of weeks ago during a holiday in Barbados. Driving up hill away from the West coast of the island, the 2 courses a...
Aphrodite Hills 31/05/2010
2nd
Hmmm...Aphrodite Hills...mixed feelings really. I think this is a course that is in a great location and enjoys some spectacular views and therefore should be brilliant b...
Gullane (No.2) 29/06/2007
7th
42nd
Gullane 2 left me gasping for breath, mainly due to the seriously steep climb up the third fairway! Arriving on a grey but relatively still day, the Gullane visitors club...
Craigielaw 29/06/2007
17th
85th
What to say about Craigelaw? As a new course, which it is, it's pretty good and has settled into the wonderful landscape well. As a true links course I felt it fell short...
Carnoustie (Burnside) 29/06/2007
8th
Having recently visited Carnoustie and cancelled our round on the Championship course due to the compulsary mats that were brought in for the month before the Open, we on...
Montrose (Medal) 29/06/2007
3rd
49th
Oh Montrose, what a wonderful, wonderful experience and one I would repeat over and over again given the chance! A golf course since 1562, it felt like every undulation o...

Having recently played Kingsbarns with a friend during a long-weekend in the area playing six of the best courses, I left with very mixed feelings about the venue. From a...

100th
Maria my wife was appalled and stunned, "you're playing at 8am! are you mad"! At the time even I was wondering at my decision to book a slot in the first tee-time of the...
St George's Hill (Red & Blue) 06/11/2006

24th
67th
I'm not going to get into the debate about where in the rankings a course should appear nor indeed whether one course is better than another. This review is simply my vie...
Vale do Lobo (Royal) 18/08/2006
11th
23rd
I played the Royal course in May 2006 whilst staying in Vale de Lobo for a week. The course starts weakly in my opinion with a 'par 5' that from the daily tees is no more...

5th
11th
100th
Just as the course description says, we tee'd off early on a Saturday morning in June, and we shivered on the 1st tee! However, things certainly didn't take long to hot u...

4th
7th
45th
If Vilamoura Old does not appear on your 'must play before I die' list then you will go to your grave having missed out on 4 very special hours of golf. The course is per...
Woburn (Marquess) 19/05/2005
1st
43rd
96th
Having read some of the earlier reviews of this course before penning mine I feel that the Marquess has been slightly harshly treated! I have not as yet had chance to pla...
Hanbury Manor 17/03/2005
10th
This course left me with mixed feelings. The layout is well designed if a little soulless, has excellent, true greens and uses the contours to provide a variation of sho...
Luffenham Heath 08/11/2004
1st
I visited Luffenham Heath recently on a Saturday and we teed off around 11am. On arrival the club house was locked unless you had a card entrance key for the changing roo...

I had received so many comments concerning the courses at the Belfry that I had mixed feelings before my visit. All of the negative comments concerning the Derby and Nati...
