Springfield Royal (A & B) 17/03/2018

15^th 22^nd

I played Springfield last year but did not make the effort of playing it again this year. I am not a fan of Nicklaus courses and have no outstanding memory of this course...

Black Mountain (East & North) 17/03/2018

8^th 9^th

Black Mountain is expensive and as far as I am concerned not worth the money. As another reviewer says the design is imposed on the terrain. I am not a fan of « contrived...

Banyan 17/03/2018

5^th 5^th 91^st

Banyan is a good golf course which is presented in very good conditon but I found it to be very expensive for what it is. It is a course that is somewhat predicatable and...

Stonecutters Ridge 28/01/2018

16^th 67^th 88^th

This is the first time that I have played a Greg Norman course and what a disappointment; I presume his brief was to design a course that was highly playable for medium t...

Belleisle 29/06/2017

17^th

Belle isle is gorgeous. This a true parkland course. So it's municipal but what a great layout and what a setting; It's not for the golf snobs who want all the clubhouse...

Irvine 29/06/2017

8^th 55^th

It's a links course. It's old fashioned. It's quirky. It's FUN.I would rather play Bogside any day than a predictable perfectly groomed American designed course. David La...

Des Iles Borromées 29/06/2017

18^th 38^th

I have played here many times and always enjoy it (otherwise I wouldn't go back) This is not the greatest golf course in the world but ..;.. the holes are inserted into t...

Le Robinie 29/06/2017

23^rd 45^th

To me this is a typical Nicklaus design, (although I think i have I-only played 3) They must have started with some very flat land and moved a lot of earth to make low ly...

Bogogno (Bonora) 29/06/2017

7^th 12^th

There are 2 courses and we played them. Both. The hilly course did not really impress me but there are some interesting holes. The other course (Conte ?) was a good layou...

Castelconturbia (Blue & Yellow) 29/06/2017

4^th 4^th 76^th

Red and Yellow courses I thought the courses superb, difficult, interesting, challenging, varies without relying on length. Beautiful course in a beautiful place. The clu...

Amata Spring 29/06/2017

2^nd 2^nd 63^rd

I have played Amata Dprings a couple of times both times as a guest of Charles Wrightman of the Duchess Hotel in Bangkok. This is luxury Thai golf. Mostly I do not enjoy...

The Mines 29/06/2017

3^rd 3^rd 68^th

I played the Mines on a rather grey day but nevertheless enjoyed it thoroughly. The clubhouse is huge and the car park is full of Rolls and Ferraris etc. I had marvelous...

Els Club - Teluk Datai 29/06/2017

5^th 5^th

Having spent the winter of 2016- 2017 in Langkawi, I have played the Els course several times. The clubhouse facilities are excellent, welcoming bag drop, friendly staff...

Los Inkas 26/11/2015

1^st 45^th

I played here in 2009. It is quite a tight course in that it is built on a smallish site. The condition was OK but as it is in Lima it seemed to lack water. I did not pla...

Red Mountain 26/11/2015

2^nd 11^th

I played Red Mountain a few years ago and found it to be very expensive for what it was. It was in good shape but all rather predictable. Buggy and caddy are obligatory (...

Residence Tunis 26/05/2015

6^th

I have to agree with Jim McCann. I was expecting a bit more and the first few holes are very much bounded by house and make it rather banal. then it opens up and becomes...

Carthage 26/05/2015

10^th

Tunis Carthage is a small and pleasant course. It is very short and tight. I have played it many ties when on business in Tunis. The condition is improving and it a good...

Southerness 27/03/2015

1^st 45^th

I was an overseas member of Southerness for many years (>30) and have never tired of the course. In the last few years the condition has been close to perfection, quite h...

Troon (Darley) 27/03/2015

15^th

Great layout spoil by the litter. I even wrote to the council and complained about the litter and got a letter with a list of excuses back. Clean it up and there is a gre...

Karlovy Vary 27/03/2015

3^rd

This is my favorite Czech course. Great variety of holes some of which are very tight. I dare say that some people will not like some of the blind shots but I believe tha...
