Rotherham 28/07/2021

18^th

Great to read the lead review by the editors of this website. The 8th a signature hole.....mmmm...a 2nd shot over a hill to a blind green...really....not sure about that....

Coventry 21/06/2021

7^th

Coventry is a very good parkland course where a days golf would be fully enjoyable. I found all 18 holes were decent holes with a good mix of short and medium length par...

Ipswich (Purdis Heath) 18/06/2021

1^st 48^th

A complete gem....we all have our own ways of rating course but going by this website ranking I would defo rate Ipswich higher than some courses above it's 48th place. It...

Knole Park 05/09/2020

5^th 89^th

Having just played the Kent Cob, I have given this a 5 as per the description...not because it is best in the region...Kent...it will never be best in the region with RSG...

Brookmans Park 28/08/2020

21^st

Really pleasant traditional Parkland course that is worth £45 (£35 on County Card). A full day out here would be enjoyed as there are a few undulations and soft dog legs...

Beau Desert 25/05/2019

3^rd 55^th

How this sits at number 55 in England is anybodies guess...oh sorry forgot...it is not in the home counties. Having played may of the top 50 course on this websites list...

Northamptonshire County 26/04/2019

1^st 93^rd

"if it was closer to London it would be a regular top 100 contender".....what bias...surely where a course is located has no bearing on if it should be a contender or not...

Blackmoor 25/08/2018

4^th 71^st

One man's favourite course is not another man's; one likes links the other new courses and another old classics. Having just played Blackmoor in an Open it obviously sits...

Gullane (No.1) 19/09/2017

3^rd 20^th 60^th

I have played a few of the top courses here in the UK and it is not very often you can say 'the course had 18 great holes'. Sunningdale Old and New has a few 'weak' holes...

Swinley Forest 17/08/2016

1^st 5^th 19^th 54^th

STUNNING. Proves golf has gone mad thinking that the only way courses can be designed/built theses days is if they are stupidly long. Course designers need to look back a...

John O'Gaunt (John O'Gaunt) 11/08/2016

1^st

John O'Gaunt is a pleasant parkland course and nothing more than that. As such I believe the £55/round rate to be a little steep but think £65 for a day where you could p...

Ganton 08/07/2015

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

I have just had the pleasure of playing the Royal Air Force Stokeplay Championships at Ganton. I believe Ganton to be one of the best courses you will ever play. Personal...

Sunningdale (New) 04/07/2013

2^nd 4^th 15^th 45^th

Not sure why the last reviewer thought the 1st hole was not that great it is a brilliant ‘Harry Colt’ style long (451 of the whites) opening hole. From here you just ente...

Forest of Arden (Arden) 17/10/2010

4^th

How do you rate a course? Quality of the course, condition of the course, setting, Clubhouse, speed of play etc it is all a very individual perception; so here is mine. F...

Royal Cinque Ports 02/07/2010

2^nd 12^th 31^st 95^th

What links golf should be! Wind, hard running fairways, punishing rough, natural hard undulatinging greens (non of this USPGA standard greens), bunkers that cost you a sh...

Wentworth (West) 11/06/2009

4^th 13^th 33^rd

The West is a good course but every change they make seems to remove any of Colt's original ideas. To be honest with you I feel the Edingburgh is a better test of golf (m...

Rye (Old) 23/09/2007

2^nd 24^th 55^th

Firstly, a lot of reviewers compare Rye and Royal St George's in the same breath; let’s get one thing straight they simply should not be. Why? You could argue that RSG ha...

Aphrodite Hills 18/04/2007

2^nd

This course is set out over two cliff tops about 15-20 miles east of Pahpos on the coast road. Part of a hotel complex which includes a tennis and spa every effort has b...

Oxfordshire 01/08/2006

3^rd

An modern monster especially if you play off the white tees. If you are after a pretty tree lined course steer clear as his is in effect a field with water hazards as def...

West Hill 29/05/2006

10^th 33^rd 79^th

West Hill is a fantastic course that is unfortunatley located in an area with an abundence of great courses so therefore maybe does not get the recognition it deserves. H...
