Vale Royal Abbey 24/09/2022

15^th

15th in Cheshire… you are having a laugh? Make no bones about it, the course isn’t perfect. It has its faults. The surrounding areas of the greens was a tad bare. The sem...

Huddersfield 14/09/2022

9^th

Huddersfield Golf Club, “ You had me at, Hello.” I had travelled over to Huddersfield from my home in Cheshire to primarily watch a football match. I hate to waste an opp...

Palmares (Praia & Lagos) 09/09/2022

2^nd 5^th 38^th

This will be my second review of Palmares but alas I have now played the Lagos and Praia and can at least comment… Firstly the Praia loop needs to introduction. I actuall...

Monte Rei (North) 08/09/2022

1^st 1^st 12^th

“Breathtaking”, “stunning”, “no words”, “fantastic”. I should really quit now, because anything I write here, will not do Monte Rei Golf & Country Club justice. As a regu...

San Lorenzo 07/09/2022

5^th 9^th 49^th

San Lorenzo… I guess I am torn! I want to write a review based on holes, 6,7,8,17 and 18, for if I did I’d be describing a course of amazement that one can only dream of...

Vilamoura (Old) 05/09/2022

4^th 7^th 45^th

I’ve not played the ‘Old Course’ for many years. It’s now under the ownership of Dom Pedro from Oceanico. Teeing off at 08.50 hours whilst the fairways are still soaked i...

Clitheroe 19/07/2022

13^th

On the hottest day of the year I chose to play Clitheroe Golf Club at midday, having last played here some 30 years ago. First of all I must mention the welcome and frien...

Hamilton 23/06/2022

2^nd

I’m advised that the lovely estate one drives through to make it to the course was once the clubs land. It’s a pleasant entry with the golf club sign on the wall of the e...

Carnwath 23/06/2022

8^th

I’d attended Carnwath in order to be fitted for some new Taylor Made irons. The Professional at the club is regarded as one of the finest in the field. It’s a shame the c...

Cavendish 15/06/2022

1^st 88^th

Cavendish Golf Club is not Beyoncé. She’s not smashing records at the Box Office. She’s not Louis Vuitton or Gucci. Cavendish isn’t LivGolf, with a brass band welcoming y...

Portal (Championship) 27/05/2022

18^th

I’ve just played here, again…this will be my 3rd review of it. Whilst I was provided courtesy my friend paid just £25.00. We played from the back white tees as well, whic...

Celtic Manor (Montgomerie) 05/05/2022

11^th 27^th

After playing the Twenty Ten Course yesterday, this was always going to be a little of, ‘after the Lord Mayors show’. Playing the Montgomery course you certainly are not...

Celtic Manor (Twenty Ten) 04/05/2022

4^th 9^th

I love the Ryder Cup. It’s the best tournament in golf. So for me, the Twenty Ten course was just a must to visit. It’s the history, the chance to walk where legends hav...

Wychwood Park 30/03/2022

13^th

This was my first game of the year and the weather was cold and wet. I’d never heard of Wychwood Park before but had stumbled across it on route to watch Wigan Athletic p...

The Mere 13/10/2021

9^th

I first played The Mere as a 16 year old in the Daily Telegraph Tournament, I was fortunate enough to win which prompted a further trip, for the National finals in Glenea...

Seascale 07/10/2021

2^nd

122 miles… 2 hours and 38 minutes to get there along a death defying country Lane across the Lake District. On arrival the rain was torrential and the wind was horrendous...

Palmares (Praia & Lagos) 26/09/2021

2^nd 5^th 38^th

I last played Palmares in the late eighties, as a young kid whilst on holiday with my Mother and Father. It was just 18 holes in those days. The internet hadn’t been invi...

Quinta do Lago (North) 24/09/2021

6^th 10^th 92^nd

With the Ryder Cup being played today we wanted to get back, put our feet up and enjoy the afternoon matches. So with that in mind we chose to play the North Course at Qu...

Vilamoura (Old) 23/09/2021

4^th 7^th 45^th

I wonder, as I write this, if perhaps I’m a little spoilt. For whilst the Old Course at Vilamoura is good ive never considered it spectacular. What I do love is how unspo...

Hilversumsche 23/09/2021

7^th 32^nd

Having resided in the Netherlands for five years this became a course I played more often than not. I first visited it when I went to watch the KLM Open and loved being t...
