Joe Sheldrake

Working in London and based at Orsett Golf Club - handicap currently 11. When I find the time, I do my best to play as many different courses as I can (some great, some not so great) but I love the variety.

Member of a couple of societies but always looking for new people to play with and new places to play.

The Grove 26/06/2020

1^st 77^th

I really struggle to tally the negative reviews of this place. As you’d expect from a 5 star resort, service is impeccable and the conditioning of the course was second t...

PGA Catalunya (Tour) 05/05/2020

4^th 30^th

This is a very good sister course to the Stadium. Definitely not as good, but still worth playing as it’s brilliant in places and consistently good throughout. Half of th...

PGA Catalunya (Stadium) 05/05/2020

1^st 4^th 10^th

I absolutely loved this course. The conditioning was beyond perfect, each hole was varied and absolutely beautiful - I struggle to think of a weak hole. Perhaps the only...

Wimereux 05/05/2020

25^th 56^th

This was a great fun links (sort of) course with some stunning views across the Channel.I played in a strong wind and the greens were quick which made scoring here very d...

Le Touquet (La Forêt) 04/05/2020

19^th 44^th

This is a nice course played through the forest. Small and tricky greens are the order of the day but there are some very good holes here that make the course worth playi...

Belle Dune 04/05/2020

9^th 17^th 90^th

Lovely course that exceeded expectations. A little scruffy in places but not overly, this course had a bit of everything - a lot of variety, an awful lot of fun and a cou...

Musselburgh (Old) 04/05/2020

Gem

As a serious golfer, you simply have to play this course. It’s not world beating in its quality or its conditioning but it is a must play for the history, the charm and t...

Archerfield (Dirleton) 04/05/2020

9^th 51^st

This is a lovely course with beautiful conditioning but I felt the Fidra ever so slightly had the edge given it’s greater variety.However, this is still a beautiful cours...

Archerfield (Fidra) 04/05/2020

5^th 32^nd

This was my favourite of the two courses at Archerfield - but only just. The whole setup is brilliant and the clubhouse amenities are fantastic.Holes 1-2 and 7-11 are in...

Trump Turnberry (King Robert the Bruce) 04/05/2020

6^th 40^th

This is a very good second course at the Turnberry resort. The first 7 holes and 12-18 are laid out in fairly flat links land that is a little bit further away from the s...

Trump Turnberry (Ailsa) 04/05/2020

1^st 1^st 2^nd 8^th

This place is magical. I didn’t see the course before the recent renovation so can’t comment on what it was like before, but now, it is hard to imagine a better golf cour...

East Sussex National (East) 04/05/2020

11^th

As with the West, I was pleasantly surprised with this course. The ground is undulating and is certainly interesting and beautiful in places.This is the more championship...

Royal Ashdown Forest (West) 04/05/2020

10^th

This is a good course which is great in places. More woodland than the heathery Old, this is a great fun, beautiful layout with some devilishly small and tricky greens.Th...

East Sussex National (West) 04/05/2020

9^th

I was very impressed with both courses at East Sussex National And find it hard to split them. As for the West, the conditioning was great, the course was fun, interestin...

Goodwood (Downs) 02/05/2020

6^th

It was a real treat playing this course. I feel like there are a number of different personalities on the Downs course but overall, this is a high class place to play gol...

Royal Ashdown Forest (Old) 02/05/2020

3^rd 46^th 92^nd

This is a real treat of a course. It’s exciting, interesting and beautiful and whilst there are some slightly weaker holes, overall, this place fits together wonderfully...

Richmond Golf Club 02/05/2020

46^th

This is a pleasant private golf club. The course is old-fashioned and kept in immaculate condition with a stunning old clubhouse to boot.As noted in the below review, thi...

Drift 02/05/2020

44^th

The Drift is a nice enough course with two contrasting nines.The front nine is played over flat land and is in dense woodland - the holes are extremely tight in places bu...

Foxhills (Bernard Hunt) 02/05/2020

33^rd

I find it hard to pick between the Longcross and BH. Longcross is certainly the prettier of the two and has more charm, but I feel BH makes up for that by being a truer t...

Foxhills (Longcross) 02/05/2020

28^th

This is a nice course with some lovely holes. The tighter of the two layouts at Foxhills and in the denser part of the woodland.This isn’t heathland like the other course...
