As a member of a different MacKenzie course I can say that Moortown had a real familiarity to it, and whilst it might not be the best golf course in the region I sensed i...
Always tricky writing a review of the course you call home, inevitably your bias comes through and people roll their eyes… Equally, to truly understand a golf course you...
I’ve commented before on how Dorset seems to go ignored by so many golfers, well Parkstone is perhaps the jewel in the crown. When I first played the course I felt baffle...
Ferndown sits just outside of the UK top 100 and whilst this feels harsh we do have an abundance of courses queueing for entry onto that list. Ferndown feels special and...
East Devon is a charming course that feels like a heathy-linksy hybrid. Fantastic views and full of character from start to finish. Perhaps lacks the big hitting holes th...
Saunton East is a classic links in every sense - when sitting outside the clubhouse before your round on a sunny day…I can’t imagine many others courses look more invitin...
What a venue Saunton is now that the West course has been brought up to speed. A fantastic and perhaps fiddly links course, not in a kooky way, but in a way that demands...
I try to be as honest as I can on these reviews - honesty is the best policy! And with that in mind the welcome at the club and service in the restaurant was sub-par, or...
I’ve been holidaying in Cornwall for golf for many years now but until this year I hadn’t played Trevose. So often you get lucky to play a great course but don’t see it i...
Wild! This course is alive…it’s unapologetically silly in places but perhaps a throwback to what golf was like once upon a time. In some places Perranporth has land like...
I first played Hayling in around 2017 when they had just begun renovations on the course - 4 years on and the new bunkers feel mature, the cleared scrub areas are penal a...
Famously described by Colt as being his “least bad course” - Colt was a modest man and this quote sums him up I think. Swinley has one of the most special atmospheres I’v...
Rugged heathland perfection. I could leave it at that, but I have so much to say about the Alwoodley. It’s perhaps my new favourite golf course, offering a complete champ...
Prior to playing Ganton I had heard a lot about it… it seems to be a course that you either love or hate, and the difficulty of it perhaps leaves a lot of people struggli...
In many ways I prefer the New to the Old at Sunningdale…both tremendous golf courses that don’t deserve comparison the whole time - but being on the same property, compar...
I played the two courses at Sunningdale together like many others, and there surely cannot be a better 36 hole day in golf!The whole place lives up to its reputation in b...
Turnberry was the first World top 10 course I played and I have to say, it stands apart from anything else I have played in the UK. Turnberry has all the feel of a champi...
West Sussex deserves all the plaudits it gets. We played early November this year and the course was in fantastic condition given the harsh Winter/Summer combination we’v...
I can echo other comments in that this is a seriously tough walking course! This makes for some incredible views over Chichester but there are perhaps 1 too many “down an...
Burhill Old is a pretty track, kept in immaculate condition for many months of the year. The strength of both the courses at Burhill is the condition and for that the gre...
