Hmm. Played it in the week of the Open and we were really looking forward to what was billed as a great course. It was a good course but playing very very tough and the...
We played Monte Rei as the last round of a golf trip to the Algarve but unfortunately we saw it at far from its best. The course had just been closed for a week and the...
This is definitely a very good course to play which is well worth playing if in the area.The course has a great variety of holes on it. The front nine leads to a fantast...
We played the Old Course at Vilamoura on the first day of a recent golf trip and enjoyed it thoroughly. The greeting we got was a warm one - friendly staff an efficient...
I played Palmetto during Masters week, it's under 30 minutes from Augusta and well worth leaving the fun of the Masters for half a day to visit. The course is steeped in...
Let's get the first thing out of the way. There is something very odd about Sage Valley as a club. The story goes that the owner didn't get into Augusta National so dec...
We played Chart Hills after the secretary at Princes wrote to us telling us our months booked tee time could no longer be honoured as they had made a mistake. No such dis...
Had the pleasure of playing Glasgow Gailes recently. The wind was quite something, at least 4 clubs into us for most of the front nine and verging on the unplayable. The...
We played Le National after rounds at Fontainebleau and Saint Germain and while the course in no way disgraced itself it has to be said it felt like a corporate golf cour...
I played at Muirfield last week for the second time and a nagging doubt was confirmed. It’s a wonderful club, with amazing history, but the course isn’t quite as good as...
Fontainebleau definitely deserves its high ranking in the French list as it is a really wonderful setup. We visited in a pretty wet spell of weather in early May but the...
Having played the King's several times I had always pretty much avoided Centenary as I had heard stories of the hard slog it could be and never really fancied it. By chan...
Hmm. I can only assume that some of the lustre has left this course in the last year or so because I think it is very hard to give this more than a three ball rating. The...
We played Son Muntaner after a round at the sister course Son Vida and this was a different class of course. The course was in fantastic condition, a range of tee boxes m...
We played Son Gual following rounds at Puntiro, Son Vida and Son Muntaner and this was head and shoulders above the others and a real quality course. That no money has be...
The first tee at Son Vida gives you a taste of what is to come. Short dogleg, not too much bother and a slight annoyance that you won’t be hitting more than a 4 iron on...
It is a freezing but gloriously sunny February day, golf courses across the Lothians are hanging up their 'closed' signs and golfers are longingly looking over the links....
Gosh, this golf course is good. I've played at most of the Open courses, Pebble Beach, Valderrama but Arabella is definitely in my top 5 courses for sheer fun. It has bee...
One of the most evocative golf courses in golf - the Blue Monster. It's one of those courses which if you're in the area you just feel you should really play. Why would y...
Our first greetings at Muirfield made me worry a little for what was ahead. A rather officious gentleman asked who the party leader was and I was marched off to register...
