Yas Links 21/01/2022

1^st 1^st

I have played Yas Links 7 or 8 times, with the last time 2 years ago to the day. Watching the top pros playing it has brought back some great memories and prompted me to...

Sunningdale (New) 10/01/2021

2^nd 5^th 18^th 45^th

I had high expectations coming to Sunningdale and I wasn’t disappointed. We seemingly had the course to ourselves when we teed off on a beautiful September morning and it...

Royal Dornoch (Championship) 05/05/2022

1^st 4^th 5^th 12^th

The championship course at Dornoch is sublime. It combines charm, challenge, beauty and tradition in a way that is hard to match elsewhere in the British Isles or indeed,...

Royal Portrush (Dunluce) 10/01/2021

1^st 2^nd 6^th 11^th

It was with high anticipation that we teed it up at Portrush having avidly watched the Open on TV the previous year. Despite it raining all day we were not disappointed....

Hollinwell 10/01/2021

1^st 19^th 47^th

Hollinwell is a wonderful course set in a huge expanse of land. Whilst playing the course you have this tremendous feeling of space. Unlike many courses, holes do not run...

Dumbarnie Links 10/01/2021

3^rd 17^th 40^th

Dumbarnie opened to rave reviews just after lockdown and I was fortunate enough to play it 3 times in June and July. As new courses go I hadn’t thought Kingsbarns or Cast...

Sunningdale (Old) 10/01/2021

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

As per my review of the New, Sunningdale is a magical place that exudes quality. Whilst I had a preference for the New over the Old that probably means that the Old is th...

Carnoustie (Championship) 19/06/2021

1^st 6^th 12^th 28^th

Carnoustie ranks alongside Portrush and Muirfield as one of the best tests of golf in the British Isles in my view. Every hole presents its own challenge and it’s possibl...

North Berwick (West) 10/01/2021

2^nd 5^th 10^th 41^st

I first played North Berwick in the early 90s and fell in love with the course. Living in Edinburgh I decided I must join and have now been a member for 23 years. It is s...

St Andrews (Castle) 03/08/2022

5^th 29^th 96^th

I played the Castle course a couple of times around 10 years ago and didn’t come away with a favourable impression. At the time I felt that the greens were too tricked up...

Woodhall Spa (Hotchkin) 10/01/2021

1^st 6^th 20^th 62^nd

This is far off the beaten track but well worth the time taken to get there. It is a beautifully presented course with colourful heather and excellent bunkering, undoubte...

Carne (Hackett) 03/07/2022

1^st 14^th 66^th

Carne was the first of 12 courses I played on this trip and it’s fair to say that we started with the most spectacular. Our expectations were high given the glowing recom...

Rosapenna (Sandy Hills) 06/07/2022

2^nd 12^th 61^st

I firstly have to confess that not only did I play well round Sandy Hills but I also made my first ever hole-in-one, at the 11th! I try to not let how I played influence...

St George's Hill (Red & Blue) 05/05/2021

3^rd 9^th 28^th 67^th

Before you hit a ball at SGH it is clear you are in a special place. The drive through the estate to the clubhouse, past the opulent houses, is like no other. The clubhou...

Queenwood 05/05/2021

7^th 27^th 65^th

Queenwood is the most beautiful and immaculately presented course that I have had the good fortune to play. Everything about it oozes class. The pristine condition remind...

Trump Turnberry (Ailsa) 19/06/2021

1^st 2^nd 3^rd 8^th

When I played Turnberry a couple of times 10-15 years ago I felt it was a very good course but did not reach the heights of the best Open courses, such as Muirfield and C...

Royal County Down (Championship) 10/01/2021

1^st 1^st 1^st 4^th

RCD clearly has many great features. There are some classic links holes and the backdrop of the mountains of Mourne is spectacular. However, I left after my first visit f...

Royal Aberdeen (Balgownie) 19/06/2021

1^st 9^th 21^st 52^nd

RA is a classic links course, almost in the 9 out, 9 in style. As others have noted the front 9 is very strong whilst the back 9 is weaker. I particularly liked the par 3...
