I live near Paris and report on France and Iceland for Top 100. My handicap is currently set at 5 and I’ve played many of Europe’s greatest courses with my personal favourites being Royal County Down, Muirfield and Turnberry (Ailsa).

Grand Saint-Emilionnais 05/06/2017

4^th 16^th 80^th

I have mixed feelings about this course, and surely not as enthusiastic as the previous reviewer. Surroundings are very nice, a great feeling of isolation. As for the cou...

Médoc (Châteaux) 29/10/2016

1^st 9^th 28^th

I really like my new home courses. Les chateaux is a proper beast, real tournament golf course. It's long and tough. Greens are huge, elevated and very undulated! A real...

Médoc (Vignes) 29/10/2016

7^th 30^th

Having recently moved to the area, I can now call this my home course. And what a treat! Surely one of the best 36 holes complex in Europe. Les vignes is shorter than les...

Woburn (Marquess) 11/06/2016

1^st 37^th 86^th

The contrast between Marquess and Duchess is quite striking. Different environment and altogether different width and atmosphere. Clearly, Marquess is the big course at W...

Woburn (Duchess) 11/06/2016

4^th 79^th

This is a very pretty and lovely course. Not long by any means, but really quite narrow! The par 3 2nd is a good example of that, you can't afford any bit of lateral move...

Tierra del Sol 18/02/2016

1^st 31^st

Tierra del Sol is a lovely course. I agree with the previous comments regarding the routing of the course and the fact that they've taken into consideration the prevailin...

Kauri Cliffs 20/12/2015

5^th 5^th 19^th

Final round in NZ for the time being. I thought I wouldn't be able to squeeze that round in my schedule but I'm so glad I did. I had heard that the scenery was even bette...

Cape Kidnappers 19/12/2015

2^nd 2^nd 6^th 44^th

This course had been on my mind for many years, probably like everybody else, after having seen the aerial pictures. Even if the feeling on the ground is different, the s...

Paraparaumu Beach 13/12/2015

3^rd 3^rd 11^th 97^th

Was I ever going to be able to play that course? It didn't look like it when my domestic flight to Wellington was cancelled the previous evening because of the wind and t...

Kinloch Club 06/12/2015

4^th 4^th 16^th

I have mixed feelings about this course. I was expecting the worse (too difficult, extreme, unplayable quoted from other reviewers) and the best and I feel I got neither....

Paradis 05/03/2015

7^th

The course is set in an idyllic location, between the beautiful Le Morne mountain and a turquoise lagoon. These 2 features are present during the whole round. Sure it's n...

Littlestone (Championship) 03/10/2014

4^th 71^st

A real pleasure to see Jim write more and more reviews outside of Scotland, ever so informative and well written. My first glimpse at Littlestone wasn't too exciting, the...

Granville (Links) 16/08/2014

3^rd 18^th 99^th

As a links lover, I'd wanted to play this course for some time. Indeed, it is meant to be the only real links in France (can't remember the title of the book that made th...

Fairhaven 11/05/2014

7^th 97^th

With so many great courses in this area, the underdogs need to fight hard to get their piece of the cake. Fairhaven is a decent course, a bit short by modern standards. T...

Royal Liverpool 09/05/2014

1^st 15^th 39^th

This is a course of 2 halves, or 2 parts to be more precise. The "hilly" southern part of the course, holding the best holes (4th to 15th in the open configuration that I...

Royal Birkdale 09/05/2014

1^st 3^rd 12^th 38^th

Wonderful club, wonderful course, wonderful atmosphere, wonderful welcome to visitors. Really a place of superlatives. Even when it's blowing a gale like on the day I pla...

Royal Lytham & St Annes 09/05/2014

2^nd 5^th 18^th 54^th

The dormy house atmosphere is an experience not to be missed. And neither is the history packed clubhouse. The course is not too bad either! Flatter than other Open venue...

Punta Cana (La Cana) 08/03/2014

6^th 26^th

La Cana golf course represents a nice warm up for the other better courses in the DR. Nothing more to be honest... The 4 holes on the sea (2 on each loop) are very nice i...

Punta Cana (Corales) 08/03/2014

3^rd 4^th

What a great golf course. On arrival, it made me remember of the Palm Beach Trump course, the Fazio family seems to have a signature in their design. The condition is rea...

Casa de Campo (Teeth of the Dog) 08/03/2014

1^st 1^st 82^nd

Overall, a disappointment. 52nd in the world? I don't think so...Not even nr.1 in the DR in my opinion. Punta Espada is head and shoulders above it. Yes the 7 costal hole...
