Croham Hurst 24/05/2021

43^rd

Really pleasant surprise. Given where it is, it’s remarkably peaceful, and the course is decent and in good condition. Some lovely holes. They could do with clearing some...

15^th 58^th

Have recently played here for the 2nd time and feel it requires a review to provide some balance to some of the more negative ones below....I guess your enjoyment of a co...

1^st

First time visit here this week and I loved every second of it. Whoever decided to build a golf course here was clearly bonkers but the results are not just stunning aest...

Henley 26/06/2019

8^th

This is a course I knew nothing about, but what a pleasant surprise. Apart from 3 holes in the middle (10-12), which are rather a dull slog, it is tremendous fun. Loads o...

Camberley Heath 04/03/2019

20^th 79^th

Firstly with the good, of which there was plenty. We played on a typically grey January day after plenty of poor weather, and the course was holding up well. No temporary...

Hayling 25/09/2017

2^nd 63^rd

This is a cracking course, one that starts gently but really gets going around the 5th, from which point on there are a sequence of holes of great variety with all the sh...

2^nd 8^th

This wonderful gem proudly sits in my top 3 courses where measuring the all important "glad to be alive" factor (alongside Cruden Bay and Bamburgh Castle). You are never...

Bude & North Cornwall 18/04/2017

6^th

What a lovely little gem. Probably not ever going to trouble any ranking lists, but great fun nonetheless. The first 5 are the least interesting, but back over the road i...

Worplesdon 22/03/2017

9^th 30^th 73^rd

Quite a joy really. In fantastic nick considering we were playing at the end of a long winter, always a great sign. The course has no poor holes, but the front 9 perhaps...

Bamburgh Castle 14/03/2017

6^th

I've played Bamburgh a handful of times now over the years, and it remains one of my favourite courses in the country. It is the epitome of what golf should be about - na...

Goswick 24/01/2017

1^st 83^rd

This is a cracking course which, if it were nestled in amongst others in East Lothian or Lancashire, would be rated far higher I think. It is undoubtedly worthy of being...

Royal Cinque Ports 12/09/2016

2^nd 11^th 30^th 95^th

Played on a cloudless day, and I played pretty well, so those things certainly help, but this is a special place. There's a great feeling of anticipation playing downwind...

12^th 39^th 91^st

Well my impressions of this club and course were boosted before we even arrived when the pro offered us a discount on the visitor fee as the greens had been tined and san...

Galway Bay 01/06/2016

3^rd 45^th

If I had one word to describe this course, it would just be "soulless". It's not all bad, particularly when you get to the sea on the back 9 where there are some ravishin...

Portmarnock Hotel & Golf Links 01/06/2016

3^rd 21^st

Perhaps the greatest compliment I can pay to this course is that there is no way you could tell this was only 20 years old. It feels utterly natural and without artifice....

Blackmoor 27/05/2016

4^th 71^st

A delightful day and course. Not long, but it's tight. Keep it straight and you'll be rewarded, although I'd challenge even the best putters to avoid a three-putt here. T...

Berkhamsted 16/05/2016

6^th

A couple of weeks on, I still don't know what to make of this course. Generally I love quirky layouts where you have to think your way round (I've been brought up on link...

Tandridge 16/05/2016

18^th 74^th

A real surprise this. A strong but unremarkable front 9 of classic parkland golf is then followed by a stunning back 9. Views for miles, huge elevation changes, sweeping...

St Enodoc (Church) 05/05/2016

1^st 10^th 29^th 82^nd

This is a wonderful course, everything I look for in great golf. You need every club in the bag, if you switch off for a second you're in trouble, and that's difficult wh...

Perranporth 05/05/2016

3^rd 69^th

A kind of paradise this. An unremarkable first hole and a half, but then once you get to your 3rd shot on the par 5 second, 3 and a half hours await traversing giant dune...
