Vale do Lobo (Royal) 28/04/2010

11^th 23^rd

You should play Vale do Lobo once, on a cloudless day, just to experience the pure exhilaration of the 16th (especially if you are playing it off the back tees). The res...

Quinta do Lago (South) 28/04/2010

3^rd 6^th 42^nd

A superb, and tough, track winding its way through the umbrella pines. The course was presented in fantastic condition with true and slick greens which were practically...

Vilamoura (Old) 27/04/2010

4^th 7^th 45^th

Played this course for the second time recently and enjoyed it significantly more than the first time, primarily because we played it from the back tees. From the back te...

Moyvalley 03/11/2009

6^th 80^th

Played Moyvalley last weekend and despite recent heavy rains the course was very playable and well presented. It is somewhat reminiscent to look at of the Monty course at...

K Club (Palmer South) 04/10/2009

5^th 58^th

This is the best conditioned course I've played on so far this year. The greens were flawless and extremely quick, which isn't bad for the beginning of October. The cours...

Barbaroux 24/09/2009

3^rd 23^rd

I agree with the previous comment. How this place rates above Terre Blanche, I will never know. It is a fun golf course, more than anything, but a classic it certainly...

Château de Taulane 24/09/2009

5^th 25^th

Played this course on holiday recently and it really is wonderful. It may sound strange, but it's the closest I've come to a 'spiritual' experience on a golf course. It...

European Club 14/06/2009

1^st 5^th 33^rd 93^rd

A warmer welcome to a golf club you will not find anywhere else. As for the course, this really is an absolute brute and if you are slightly off your game, you will be lo...

Hillside 20/05/2009

3^rd 22^nd 51^st

How this course is not further up the rankings, I have no idea. I defy anyone not to be impressed by the back nine, in particular. The front nine has certainly less of a...

Royal Lytham & St Annes 20/05/2009

2^nd 7^th 22^nd 58^th

I agree that you cannot call RL&StA a classic links - but it certainly is a championship golf course, worthy of its place on the Open rota. The setting is unusual for a...

Royal Birkdale 17/05/2009

1^st 3^rd 13^th 40^th

I just can't bring myself to give Birkdale top rating. It is a superb golf course, of that there's no doubt, and in the two to three club wind that we played it in it is...

Terre Blanche (Château) 18/03/2009

2^nd 8^th 28^th

This really is a stunning golf course. Often, an over-priced resort course can be a massive let down. At Terre Blanche, the whole experience from start to finish was ex...

Vilamoura (Old) 18/03/2009

4^th 7^th 45^th

This really is a beautiful golf course which winds its way up, down and through the natural contours of the land, with each hole framed by umbrella pines. When the sun is...

Druids Glen 25/09/2008

2^nd 29^th

You really do get the feeling you're playing a round of golf in a beautiful garden at Druids Glen. Sporadically very good in terms of the quality of the holes, the cours...

Royal County Down (Championship) 26/08/2008

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

Just total, raw golf. Nothing is tricked up. If you like golf as it should be played - au naturel - then RCD is as good as it gets. It may not get the attention of the...

Lahinch (Old) 06/07/2008

1^st 2^nd 11^th 29^th

Someone below said it best. Lahinch is a fun course to play. There are holes here you will just not find anywhere else in the world, and for that reason alone I would re...

Royal Dublin 26/08/2007

4^th 23^rd

This is a superbly maintained and presented course with some really interesting holes. You can see why it was chosen to host the Irish Open. The practice facilities are...
