1^st 10^th 54^th

As a William coming over from Holland to play Golf on the banks of the River Boyne, I was a little curious as to the welcome I would receive at County Louth. This is a q...

Royal North Devon 15/01/2018

2^nd 53^rd

When you stand on the first tee at Royal North Devon overlooking the flat expanse of the Northam Burrows, you could be forgiven for wondering where the golf course is. It...

St Enodoc (Church) 17/12/2017

1^st 11^th 28^th 87^th

Back in May 2017 I'd arranged a romantic short Spa break in Polzeath. In a fortuitous coincidence, it was just a few kilometers from St Enodoc. What are the chances? Af...

West Lancashire 10/11/2017

6^th 44^th 99^th

It was the day after The Open and we'd decided to have a quick round somewhere locally prior to heading back home. We had our preferences but most of them were understand...

Royal Dornoch (Championship) 29/10/2017

1^st 2^nd 3^rd 8^th

Royal Dornoch is clearly considered a very good golf course, but does it deserve the reverence it receives? Well, I was looking forward to forming an opinion. Shortly af...

Castle Stuart 25/10/2017

2^nd 8^th 17^th 50^th

I guess the good thing about big budget modern projects on good land with nice views and top architects is that it's difficult to put a foot wrong. And they haven't here....

Utrecht de Pan 25/10/2017

2^nd 3^rd 100^th

The Dutch use their superlative "Gezellig" for describing many of the finer and intimate experiences in life. It doesn't translate that well (cosy?), but nevertheless app...

Brora 18/10/2017

6^th 30^th 94^th

Is Brora the best course I've played? No. Is it the best Golf experience I've had? Possibly. Best livestock on a course? Yes. The above cliches actually do the course a...

Rosendaelsche 05/10/2017

7^th 46^th

Good balance to the course with holes of a consistently decent quality. Didn't like the Par 3 9th with a great big tree in front of the green, but liked many others. Ho...

Koninklijke Haagsche 24/11/2016

1^st 2^nd 89^th

The Haagsche offers a great combination of rugged beauty and challenge, and is situated in a significantly undulated and at times windy dune landscape that makes shot sel...

Hunstanton 09/11/2016

2^nd 29^th 69^th

Played here for the first time in October and my ultimate impression was that Hunstanton strikes a great balance between being a stringent and quirky links - often the ch...

Goyer (North) 27/10/2016

15^th

It's difficult to be completely objective with De Goyer as it's my home course in The Netherlands. I tend to look forward to playing other courses. There's a marriage ana...

Geijsteren 25/10/2016

21^st

Really enjoyed playing here a couple of years ago. Didn't know anything about the course beforehand, so it was a pleasant surprise. One or two of the tree-lined holes wou...

Domburgsche 11/10/2016

22^nd

Said to be the the only links course in Holland, presumably because you can see, hear, and feel the sea from a few of the tees. Domburg starts promising with a run of lin...

Lauswolt 11/10/2016

25^th

Lauswolt is a decent enough course and has some lovely holes. What lets it down is the quality contrast between the older Pennink nine and the newer nine. Some of the hol...

Stippelberg (Championship) 19/04/2014

12^th

Nice course and great value. An inland links that is pleasantly rough around the edges. A good design with strategic options off of the tee and interesting green complexe...
