I recently played Royal Liverpool using the Open configuration (starting on 17) in April in a 3-4 club wind. The terrain may be mostly flat and as others have said, it’s...
What a shame. Like the Brabazon, the PGA is somewhat hamstrung by the terrain it sits on, however Dave Thomas has done a commendable job of making a worthwhile course rou...
From the moment you drive into the Belfry you are reminded of it’s Ryder Cup history. In front of the first tee is a huge stone plaque commemorating the four time host an...
Let me get one thing straight. This is a good golf course, stunningly beautiful and perfectly maintained. The big problem - it's a game of roulette. There is nothing wors...
You would not believe as you are driving into the course that you were about to play one of the finest golf courses in England but somehow, in between the housing estate...
This is a golf course. Well obviously, but this is an outstandingly good golf course and I'd love to see how it would rank (and be in Open rota consideration?!) if it was...
Having played the longer and scoreable Kings course the day before, I was excited to dismantle the shorter Queens with a much lower score. Alas, the tighter Queens didn't...
Luxury. That is what first comes to mind at Gleneagles. From the minute you drive in, you know you are in for something special and it delivers that at every turn.From th...
First things first, Cruden Bay is a fantastic venue. When I first got there, my breath was taken away by the views, but this didn't even begin to compare with the view fr...
As I was driving into Royal Aberdeen my Sat Nav said "take a left and you have arrived at your destination". I thought that can't be right as it was just off the high str...
What to say about Carnoustie. Well, after a pedestrian start, the third hole is excellent. A short par 4 with bunkers down the middle and a burn down the left and in fron...
We played Berkhamsted in typical English conditions, cold, wet and windy and boy does this course feel like that's how it should be played. There are no sand bunkers, but...
If the weather has been good, then get out and play this course. There is a really nice selection of holes around a few water features to keep you on your toes, no less t...
Having arrived early and warmed up on the chipping and putting greens, I was looking forward to my round. Sadly, the course petered out somewhat. There was some really ni...
When you see the card you might be concerned by it's short nature, but despite this, WGC offers a great round of golf. In pristine condition, with a recent bunker renovat...
As you drive into Dunstable Downs and see the views over the Downs, typically with plenty of kite flyers you realise you are in for two things: A lot of beautiful views,...
*Warning* The greens are quick. The course is set in a pleasant countryside in undulating land meaning flat lies are few and far between. The quality of this course howev...
Is this course a bad course? No. The greens were fantastic, quick, true and extremely undulating, a two putt was never a guarantee and it was definitely a day to lag putt...
As you might expect from a course of this calibre, our morning welcome was very warm and we happily settled into our complimentary coffee and bacon sandwich. It's a good...
We arrived at the course early in the morning and were greeted warmly by the hospitality manager and invited inside for a complimentary coffee & bacon / sausage roll. Aft...
