Real Sotogrande 26/09/2008

2^nd 3^rd 10^th

A good course, but surely not the 2nd best course in Spain. Always in good condition, but relatively easy and not that challenging. I am a pro, but I played here with a m...

Vilamoura (Old) 26/09/2008

3^rd 6^th 39^th

A great classic test of golf.The Old Course offers plenty of birdie opportunities ONLY IF you hit the fairways from the tee.I would highly recommend a round here, it is b...

PGA Catalunya (Stadium) 26/09/2008

1^st 1^st 4^th

I have played this course on many occasions. I love it. I have played lots of courses all over the world, and this is my favourite.Very tough for the average player, but...

Vilamoura (Victoria) 26/09/2008

10^th 19^th

I thought this place was overrated and over priced.It is a good course, and challenging in places.How the European Tour boys shot 25 under for 4 rounds last year is beyon...

San Lorenzo 26/09/2008

2^nd 5^th 32^nd

A great layout, especially 5th - 8th, and the last 2 holes.Condition lets it down a little which is a shame, and also a little surprising as it is not as easily accessibl...

Oitavos Dunes 26/09/2008

2^nd 3^rd 20^th

Played it very soon after it opened 7 or 8 years ago.A good layout, and on that day the greens were lightening. Having watched it on TV in recent years they appear to hav...

Antalya (PGA Sultan) 26/09/2008

4^th 78^th

MAGIC PLACE.Love this course. Ranks up there in my all time top 5.Played it 3 times, once 2 years ago, and twice last week. A brilliant lay out, not a single bad hole on...

Praia D'El Rey 26/09/2008

4^th 9^th 48^th

Played here a few times and thoroughly enjoyed it. The only bad bit is how far out of the way it is. We nearly stay in Cascais, and the course is a good hours drive away....

Emporda (Forest) 26/09/2008

7^th 30^th

I love this area of Spain, and this is my second favourite course in the area behind PGA Catalunya Green. I have played this course about 10 times, and never seen it in b...

Le Touquet (La Mer) 26/09/2008

6^th 10^th 35^th

A long and tough test of golf. If the wind blows, lookout! Played here many times, and always enjoyed it. As with most golf in France, it is great value for money. Much h...

Royal Ashdown Forest (Old) 26/09/2008

3^rd 41^st 95^th

I live in Sussex, and Royal Ashdown is a bit of a rarity.......a great golf course in Sussex.Played here a lot, and the layout is brilliant.Steeped in history and traditi...

Royal Birkdale 26/09/2008

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

Very tough, not my idea of fun. I am a good player, and unfortunately not a big fan of links golf. I preferred the local courses of Formby and Hillside which I found chal...

Sunningdale (Old) 26/09/2008

1^st 2^nd 10^th 28^th

A great course and a great atmosphere.Golf as it should be.Played here a couple of times, and also watched the Ladies Open here when the standard of golf was amazing.Woul...

Wentworth (West) 26/09/2008

5^th 20^th 46^th

The West Course is very good, not great, just very good.However, you get a great feeling whilst playing the course because it is so familiar from all the televised golf t...

Nairn (Championship) 26/09/2008

3^rd 20^th 57^th

A brilliant golf course. I absoloutely loved it. Great views, great condition and great layout. I preferred it to Royal Dornoch. Played 18 holes at Nairn Dunbar in the mo...

Hillside 26/09/2008

4^th 23^rd 51^st

For me this is better than its more famous neighbour Royal Birkdale. Much fairer, and some stunning holes. A must play if you are in the area.

Formby 26/09/2008

3^rd 18^th 44^th

Together with Hillside, I preferred both these courses to Royal Birkdale.Much fairer and in magnificent condition.WOuld love to play them both again.

Sunningdale (New) 26/09/2008

2^nd 4^th 14^th 43^rd

It is tough to imagine a better days golfing than 36 holes at Sunningdale playing 18 on the New and 18 on the Old. It helped that I played well round here!, but I would h...

Berkshire (Red) 26/09/2008

2^nd 22^nd 49^th

Brilliant. 36 holes of golf at the Berkshire, 18 on the Red, and 18 on the Blue is a day well spent.Well worth a visit.

Rye (Old) 26/09/2008

2^nd 24^th 53^rd

I am not a massive links fan, but I love this place. The only really true links in Sussex. Yes it is very exclusive, but so what. I played here in the Sussex Professional...
