My
love affair with golf courses started more than thirty years ago. I’ve lost
count of the number of different courses I’ve played down the years, but I have
golfed across four continents and have played more than 90 courses in the Britain
& Ireland Top 100. I’ve negotiated thousands of ordinary golf holes over the
years and hundreds that are truly excellent, but many memorable experiences
involved playing average golf courses in wonderful company. I’m the
Founder of Top 100 Golf Courses and sometimes play to a 10
handicap.
First of all a word about the setting… stunning. Secondly a word about the par three 8th… outstanding. Sadly, as a whole, the Warren doesn’t fit together very well. It is...
Orsett may be the best course in Essex, but that’s not necessarily a huge compliment as there only a few commendable courses in the whole county. Orsett plays like a seas...
Ah Bali Hai – Some Enchanted Evening… one of my all-time favourite love songs! Was fortunate enough to play here after deciding to sneak off for a quick game while on bus...
For me, Perry Dye’s New course at San Roque is better than its sibling the Old. I agree with some of the points mentioned in the earlier review below, but found the New c...
At eighteen years of age, you’d hardly be considered an old age pensioner, and it’s fair to say that San Roque Old actually feels rather new. The modern feel to this reso...
Finca Cortesin is a name that will surely become known as one of THE places to play along the Costa del Sol. It is a thrilling and brutal test of golf so make sure you ch...
Santana, alongside Finca Cortesin, is another Cabell Robinson Costa del Sol design and they couldn’t be more different golf courses in terms of topography. Finca features...
Surprised how good Majorca is as a golf destination and Puntiro was one of the unexpected pleasures of our recent 2008 trip. Clearly it’s a new layout which needs time to...
Played Son Gual recently and it will run Valderrama close as a contender for the best conditioned golf course in Spain. The attention to detail is stunning from beginning...
Played Pearl Valley when staying in Franschhoek and the course is located midway between Franschhoek and Stellenbosch. The gated community was well underway when I played...
One word for me sums up Abama… “Oasis”. It’s a slice of tropical heaven in an otherwise barren volcanic landscape. Atlantic seaward views are stunning with the island of...
Monty’s course at Celtic Manor is really a hybrid of the old Wentwood Hills and Coldra Woods courses and those who've played the former will recognise some of the holes w...
Played Palheiro a couple of times when visiting Madeira a few years ago. I thoroughly enjoyed the course which sits next to the Botanic Gardens. The first time I played i...
My second favourite of the three La Manga courses, the North is a typical resort layout with a twist of interest around the ravines. The elevation changes are much sharpe...
The West course is completely different to the North and South. Gone are the views of the La Manga complex, villas and condominiums (except on the 18th tee) and in come t...
The South is my least favourite of the three courses at La Manga but it’s by no means a bad track. What it lacks is elevation change and consequently palm-lined fairways,...
Villamartin could be a great course. It is set out on an interesting and undulating tract of land with many cleverly designed an genuinely exciting holes. The only proble...
Played the Robinson Noblis in 2003 and was impressed. It's mature beyond its years due to its routing through an old pine forest. Position off the tee is the key to scori...
This may not be the premier course at the Antalya Golf Club but it's a great little track and a tough one too. It's not long but with tight fairways and plenty of water t...
TAT is perhaps not the greatest name for a golf course and if it was my property I'd change the name immediately. Nevertheless it's a nice course if perhaps a little in t...
