I’m a member at Romford Golf Club and my handicap is unfortunately increasing (currently 14). Among my favourite courses are Royal St George’s, Wentworth (West), Vilamoura (Old) and the gem at Purdis Heath.

This is a beautiful course and club house. Very grand and the presence of a snooker table is always a good sign. The only downer on arriving there at 8.30 am for a 10am t...

It's been about 10 years since I last played Purdis Heath and it's a shame it has been that long because this is a beauty. Should be higher in the rankings...

This course is a delight. I was lucky to play it on a calm clear sunny day in October and it is gorgeous. Inland heath with Gorse and heather in abundance, but when the b...

Without doubt one of the better courses in Essex. A welcoming modern club house but a club with traditional values. The course is definitely a course of two distinct halv...

I came to this delightful course expecting a round in the high nineties (even off 12) but I was pleasantly surprised at how playable it was. Admittedly there was little o...

This course is situated in a lovely part of the countryside, a winding river in a deep gorge wends its way through the course. The resort is smart and modern and the brea...

Have to admit that I was not massively impressed with this track. A bit of work was being done on the clubhouse when we played which I guess did not help to its 'look', b...

Played this course in Sept 12. A pleasant enough 'typically' Spanish course, with about 4 lovely holes, but many of them were a little ordinary in the scheme of things. I...

This is a delightful little course which tests the good golfers but is fair to the average. It's not over bunkered, there is some variety to it. Some of the holes are ver...

This is a pretty course but it just escaped the ravages of the Marbella fires in August 2012, all around the periphery the blackened country side shows testament to that....

I was really impressed with this track. We played this, El Chapperel and Mijas Los Lagos and this was the best of the three. Pretty course, lovely club house, a variety o...

Whilst this is a 'nice' course - I am surprised it is so much higher than Torrequebrada. It is very open - which helps - but it is very long - hitting the greens in regul...

I went to this course in February 2006 and it was covered in snow. In the winter they use it to take tourists dog-sledding with Huskeys. The track goes alongside many of...

Played here two weeks ago in a brisk wind and bright sunshine. It is a lovely place to play golf. Rewarding if you keep it in play, the wind tricks it up a lot. The green...

Played the 'Corks' and 'Olives' in Sept 2009 and they were a delight. The Corks nine is fairly straightforward to start with, easing you into the round nicely. It is open...

This course is an absolute beauty. The club house is very classy, calm and sedate, as are indeed all the staff. Nobody tearing around, and the place is quiet and not over...
