Portmarnock Hotel & Golf Links 08/08/2018

3^rd 19^th

I played this recently revamped course in July 2018, during sunny and windy conditions. The area had received very little rain during the summer, resulting in very fast...

Royal Portrush (Valley) 03/08/2018

2^nd 6^th

I've played this highly under-rated track three times, most recently in July 2018 on a day of overcast skies and some drizzle. Given the quality of this course, it is mi...

Coombe Hill 08/05/2018

15^th 57^th

I spent a perfect Spring day at Coombe Hill in April 2018 (coincidentally, the warmest April day in London in 70 years) - and can honestly say it was one of the most plea...

Knole Park 08/05/2018

5^th 89^th

I played Knole Park on a perfect April morning in 2018. The course lies on rolling - even hilly - ground, and the hole designs inevitably reflect this fact. There is a...

Walton Heath (New) 08/05/2018

13^th 37^th 84^th

I played the New course under clear, but windy and fast conditions in April 2018. This course has a nice blend of shorter and lengthy par fours, and windy conditions (as...

Stoke Park (Colt & Alison) 08/05/2018

3^rd 73^rd

I played early on a wonderful Spring morning in April 2018 and was treated to a wonderful layout and scrupulous course conditions. The fairways are rather generous and t...

Hankley Common 08/05/2018

8^th 29^th 70^th

I played Hankley Common on a warm, still - but threatening - Sunday in April 2018 as a single. The Pro Shop was nice enough to encourage me to tee off before an afternoo...

Huntercombe 08/05/2018

1^st 75^th

I had the pleasure of playing Huntercombe on a temperate, sunny day in mid-April 2018. Fortunately for me, this perfect day was described by many locals as "the first da...

Seacroft 02/05/2017

2^nd 74^th

I played Seacroft on a clear April day and was very glad that I made the effort. This is a classic, old-school links course which plays hard and fast, with excellent gr...

Seaton Carew (Old) 02/05/2017

1^st 68^th

I played Seaton Carew on a blustery April afternoon, accompanied by two club members (thanks for the round Mick and John!). Although surrounded by heavy industry and th...

Lindrick 02/05/2017

4^th 59^th

I played Lindrick on a calm April afternoon, after a morning round at nearby Notts. Lindrick is a classic British design, featuring several blind shots, redan greens an...

Notts (Hollinwell) 02/05/2017

1^st 18^th 45^th

I played Notts as a first-on-the-course single on a beautiful April morning. This is a simply delightful course, with a wonderful variety of holes winding there way thro...

Ganton 02/05/2017

1^st 9^th 26^th 77^th

I played Ganton on a cool, windy day in April. After a gracious reception by the staff, I found that the course very much lives up to its reputation as a tough but fair...

Woodhall Spa (Hotchkin) 02/05/2017

1^st 7^th 21^st 62^nd

Played the Hotchkin course on an overcast, relatively calm April day. Course conditioning was excellent and the staff was friendly and helpful. The Hotchkin fully earne...

The Addington 20/05/2015

16^th 58^th

I've played this wonderful course twice, roughly five years apart, and in each case during mild Spring weather. The course is maintained in very good condition. After a...

St George's Hill (Red & Blue) 20/05/2015

3^rd 8^th 24^th 67^th

I played the Red/Blue on a clear breezy day in May '15. The golf and hospitality staffs were both very efficient and welcoming. The course itself was a textbook of clas...

Worplesdon 20/05/2015

9^th 31^st 75^th

I played Worplesdon on a sunny May '15 Monday morning, mainly accompanied by a delightful longtime female member who joined me around the 5th hole. In addition to being...

West Hill 20/05/2015

10^th 33^rd 79^th

I played the course on a pleasant Sunday afternoon in May '15. Several members confessed to being horrified at the condition of the post-winter greens, but I didn't find...

Woking 20/05/2015

7^th 27^th 67^th

The last of the Three Ws is certainly no disappointment, starting with the decades old wisteria bush winding its way through the pillars on the restaurant terrace. What...

Silloth on Solway 26/09/2013

1^st 20^th 47^th

I played in nice weather in September 2013. True to reputation, this course is an unheralded gem, limited only by it's somewhat remote location near the Scottish border....
