Visually a treat - as long as you like playing golf in a forest (I do). Links afiicionados may not be fans of trees, but on the Marquess they frame every hole. Sometimes...
The tranquility of playing golf in a forest really appeals to me. The Dukes scores highly in this respect, although the towering trees can make the playing corridors feel...
I've played here several times now over the last 10 years, and as a venue it is definitely moving in the right direction, both off course and on course. The work on the H...
I had played here a number of times pre-refurb, and I found the Himalayas to be a little under-rated. Although definitely the weaker of the three loops at Prince's, it ha...
The International course is a very popular venue for golf days, but the Heritage course is reserved for members only and is considered to be a superior layout by most peo...
I've played this course several times now at different times of the year, spanning over 15 years, and I've always found the course in good condition. Compared to its sist...
Old school. Quirky. Charming. Over rated. These all seem appropriate ways to describe this place.Firstly the course. We were lucky to play on a hot June day, with firm ru...
This is a classic links course that ticks many of the design features of a traditional links challenge. Firm links turf, true greens, an out and back layout along the coa...
We were lucky enough to play here on a warm sunny summer day, so were able to enjoy the spectacular views of the coast. This clifftop course has some significant undulati...
What a great place to play golf. From the moment you arrive at the iconic clubhouse, warm up on the extensive practice facilities, and then step out on to the testing fir...
A links / heathland hybrid course. The front nine looks very much like classic heathland. The links giveaway, stepping on to the first tee, was the strong left to right b...
This is a very good course, but not a great course. The history and status elevate this place way above where it should be in the rankings. There are many fine courses in...
Pleasant course in a lovely setting in the middle of the New Forest. Some nice dogleg holes, quite a few short par fours that tempt you to have a go off the tee, but the...
The bunkering is excellent, and there are a couple of really strong 200 yard par threes (8 and 12) to elevated greens. The greens had a good mix: some were flatter, other...
Quite a pretty course, I played it in May several years ago when the rhododendrons were in bloom. Note - having flowers on the course does not make it "the Augusta of the...
Played and stayed a number of years ago. Front nine is instantly forgettable, although it is challenging and somewhat strategic it lacks character. Back nine much more in...
A couple of great holes over the river valley, the 2nd in particular is a spectacular par 3. Then there are some average holes, and some really weak holes e.g. uphill 13t...
Quirky, charming, unique, eccentric, but above all fun! NB has many unorthodox features that probably wouldn't be allowed on a new build course today, but playing this co...
A lot has been written about this course, what more can I add? Everything about the place is world class: the clubhouse, the hospitality, the practice facilities, the set...
Full disclosure: although I'm writing this review in 2020, I last played the course a long time ago when it was still the 2nd course of the exclusive Loch Lomond club.Dun...
