Castle Stuart 26/04/2022

2^nd 9^th 18^th 53^rd

Castle Stuart reminded me a lot of the Castle Course at St. Andrews. A purpose built 'corporate' course on a terrific piece of land astounds from arrival. The welcome is...

Nairn (Championship) 25/04/2022

3^rd 19^th 56^th

A friendly, genuine Scottish welcome (so different to a welcome at a top English club) met our group for the last round on our trip to the Highlands. The course, a tradit...

Quinta do Lago (South) 20/10/2021

3^rd 6^th 42^nd

A return visit to Quinta South was a very welcome return indeed, 9 years after my first visit here. Stood on each tee, I recalled the hole, which speaks volumes for the d...

Vilamoura (Victoria) 20/10/2021

9^th 18^th

I loved reading Jim McCann's review for this course, just a month before I played it, but my view is almost directly opposite. I loved the front 9 at Victoria, it is play...

Ilkley 30/09/2021

10^th

Having played Ilkley several times over the years it is always nice to head back there and see how my game and the course has progressed. For me, Ilkley has always lived...

Wortley 21/09/2021

39^th

I got an invite to play Wortley in a shotgun start competition recently, and was pleased to see this course creep into Yorkshire's Top 40. An old/ancient clubhouse welcom...

Glenbervie 02/08/2021

1^st 91^st

Glenbervie was selected due to its position on this website as the best in the area, and we weren't disappointed. The opening tee shot, favouring a draw and being favoure...

Auchterarder 02/08/2021

7^th 99^th

We played here the day after having a knock next door, and the welcome was just as warm as at Gleneagles. The course was very different however, with the space maximised...

Gleneagles (King's) 02/08/2021

1^st 14^th 36^th

I have hesitated in giving this course a 6/6 rating, mainly due to not playing every other course in the world, so there may be better courses (Trump Aberdeen?) but for t...

Dumfries & Galloway 02/08/2021

9^th

We played this course as part of a trip into Scotland, and an open on the way up appealed immensely. Therefore we had a bargain in the bag, and the course was surprisingl...

Stockport 25/06/2021

6^th

Great course design befits a parcel of land that lends itself beautifully to a golf course. Mature trees line each fairway, the shorter the hole, the tighter the trees. T...

Seaton Carew (Old) 25/06/2021

1^st 68^th

If Mad Max built a golf course he would build Seaton Carew. It is really difficult to separate the course from the locale, every shot seemingly against an industrial back...

Brancepeth Castle 25/06/2021

3^rd

There are a couple of lasting memories of Brancepeth Castle from my last visit, 10+ years ago, the undulating topography and the 'Castle holes'. As for the rest of the co...

Windermere 20/05/2021

8^th

This was my first trip back to Windermere after an incredibly soggy debut there some 10+ years ago. I won’t wait this long again, as it is a terrific track, with many int...

Bradford 17/05/2021

26^th

I always feel this course doesn't come alive until the back 7 holes, which are played across a small valley, meaning raised tee shots to the fairway below. Sometimes the...

Dunham Forest 20/04/2021

12^th

Reading reviews beforehand sometimes prejudices one, so ruefully, this will be an attempt to set aside other reviewers thoughts, and stick with one’s own. This was the fi...

St Andrews (Castle) 27/09/2020

4^th 27^th 87^th

The Castle course was the centrepiece for our 3 day trip into Scotland, and it didn’t disappoint. We were lucky enough to visit on a sunny, and pretty still September day...

St Andrews (New) 27/09/2020

3^rd 26^th 85^th

St Andrews is the Mecca for golfers and it. Is interesting to read other reviews of the New Course. The condition is impeccable, as you would expect it to be. Fine turf,...

Lanark 27/09/2020

1^st 68^th

There is so much to take into account when reviewing a course and deciding its rating, and it’s difficult to separate the purely golf based critiques from other influenc...

Fairhaven 16/09/2020

7^th 97^th

Having had the chance to play Fairhaven half a dozen times in the last few years means I've seen it differently, from bone dry and running forever to the latest time, aft...
