I'm a member of Hindhead Golf Club based down in the Heathland belt of Surrey, England. Playing to a handicap of 7, most of my golf experience has been limited to the UK and Ireland, of which, I've played around a third of the top 100 courses.
Favourite courses played to date include Cruden Bay, Royal St George's, Royal Birkdale, Ganton, Royal Dornoch and St Enodoc.
I played Formby earlier last month when two months of hot sun had proceeded my visit and baked out the course to a parched brown colour. Through a combination of these co...
Big, bold and grand, St George’s Hill is an experience that starts at the private entrance to this opulent estate and doesn’t lower its level throughout. Taking the long...
Some of the best links layouts in the UK start with a familiar pattern, steady as she goes for the opening holes as you get away from the clubhouse before you then start...
Ah Pennard, you’ve truly found a place in my heart. What a stunning location. Situated 200 feet above sea level and offering glorious views across the Gower Peninsula and...
I’m a sucker for some nice scenery on a golf course, and this is something that Crans-sur-Sierre provides by the bucket load. Playing golf in the mountains was a treat an...
Worplesdon was the missing piece in my 3W jigsaw, so obvious comparisons were made during the round with nearby Woking and West Hill. One immediate area where Worplesdon...
Once you’ve genuinely caught the bug for links golf, the treelined parkland variety just somehow feels inferior. Hunstanton is everything I’d expect of a traditional link...
A trip to Hollinwell came as one of the highlights in the itinerary of a recent golf tour proving to be a serious step up from all of the other inland courses we played d...
The opening stretch at Sherwood Forest is all laid out in front of the clubhouse so it’s a wonderful vista to display what’s in store for the first time visitor. You’re i...
There are a lot of positives that can be said about the course at Beau Desert as it makes a rise and fall through the outskirts of Cannock Chase, an Area of Outstanding N...
A big thank you firstly to the team at Aldeburgh who gave us a really warm welcome, far beyond what I expected of a club of this stature. Both the club professional and s...
Firstly, I have to point out that Sheringham is not a links. I’m struggling to understand why a number of reviewers are insisting that it is. The turf doesn’t compress li...
Royal West Norfolk, or Brancaster as it’s known to the locals is a completely unique experience and something I’d recommend as a “must play” for all keen links golfers. B...
Having previously read several reviews below lavishing high praise on the course before playing here, I had to question whether I’d stepped onto the wrong course after pl...
Whilst Red and Blue feel similar, the Black is played across contrasting ground to the other two courses. Played across expansive sandy wasteland with big links style gre...
Every golf course ranking I’ve seen has the Red course rated ahead of the Blue, this website included, so naturally I thought my opinion would conform with this, but to m...
I managed to fit in playing all three courses at Streamsong over a period of just 30 hours and the Red was first up. Both Red and Blue occupy the same prime piece of land...
Royal Dornoch was my first experience of a World Top Ten course so expectations were naturally high. Playing the course in Spring of this year also meant the gorse was in...
If you’re going to take your non-golf playing partner out onto the golf course, then look no further than Isle of Purbeck. The views here are spectacular. Located above P...
Fraserburgh is quite an unfashionable links for many a touring golfer but seems to be increasing in its popularity as word gets out about this genuine hidden gem. Oddly,...
