Ian is our Welsh correspondent who also covers Southwest England. He started playing golf after learning to bike ride, so golf came even before girlfriends, but he still plays off a 7 handicap and reckons he got the balance about right! He played his early golf on England’s south coast and he’s played more than 50 of Britain & Ireland’s Top 100 courses favouring those that offer dramatic settings and unique challenges.
We were fortunate to play the Earl of Mar on the sort of Scottish summers day you always hope for and therefore we saw the course, it's location and the grand Mar Hall ho...
Reflecting on what one can write about Pine Valley you are left with an overwhelming sense of guilt that any other course review written before had inevitably been subjec...
Teignmouth Golf Club in South Devon is a wonderfully natural heathland course set in an outstanding location with 360-degree panoramic views from its elevated position ab...
Flamingos is a decent enough course that has some excellent holes interspersed with some very average stuff. The start is very tight with the first 5 holes set close to t...
Llandrindod Wells is a real surprise package and in the truest definition of a hidden gem it represents one of Wales best kept secrets. The trip to Powys is a trek for mo...
Playing any open championship track should be the pinnacle of your golfing experiences, but I admit to being somewhat deflated by the Royal Liverpool layout. It is crying...
Dundonald is rightfully becoming yet another great course on the Ayrshire coast. It's closest neighbour, Western Gailes is a measure of the very best in the area and this...
Woking will always have a special place in heathland golf history, being the original track in the Surrey/Berkshire belt. The course certainly holds its position as still...
Making a recommendation to go and play a course that will measure up to everyone’s expectation is a tough ask, but in recommending Sherwood Forest you will be guaranteed...
Remedy Oak is only 5 years old and has maturity beyond its years. It is easy to see why it is living up to the top billing as the setting and layout of the championship c...
If you are lucky enough to play (as i was) the Isle of Purbeck on a beautiful summer’s day then the experience will be forever etched in your golfing memory. As you appro...
The debate between which is the best, Broadstone or Parkstone is a popular talking point at both clubs. In reality both courses are excellent, but I think there are legit...
Dartmouth is blessed with a rolling landscape ideal to design a dramatic golf course and I am pleased to say that the setting out of this layout has used every opportunit...
Neath is truly one of Wales unsung golfing gems. Whatever criteria you base your assessment of Neath it matters little for it is a course that has James Braid architectur...
One could contend that Cardigan is not easily accessible from most parts of the UK, yet many golfers have heard of it. The remote location and quality of the course provi...
Torrequebrada is one of the unsung hero’s of the Costa Del Sol and perhaps is less known than some of its neighbours from along the coast (in Marbella). Its location is...
Pontypridd is set high above the town and the views will hit you the moment you step onto the course. It is a great asset but its panorama is not all it has to offer. Wha...
A course in a beautiful setting with a sprinkling of very good holes. Not overly long but some beautiful holes carved through woodland and rolling hills.
