I am a 12-handicap member of Les Mielles in Jersey and am on the waiting list to join La Moye Golf Club which I’m hoping to get into within the next few years. I am on the border of being a golf fanatic and play as many qualifying competitions as I can. As others from Jersey have alluded to, it is quite difficult for us to travel to play other courses as we have to get across the water first!
I don’t really have a favourite type of course and like to take each course on its own merits, however I do tend to prefer courses which have some elevation changes or are a little bit quirky. For example, I found Royal Liverpool, whilst absolutely pristine, a little bit flat and bland for my liking whereas others would enjoy and appreciate the technical and strategic aspects of the course. I think that you can also rely on me to give an impartial review, even if I’ve played terribly at the course (which is most of the time)!
If I won the lottery, I would try and play as many new courses as I possibly could whilst having a happy family at home. At the moment, my two favourite courses so far have been Wolf Creek in Mesquite and St George’s Hill.
We played the Ryder Cup course in overcast conditions but after it had monsooned down with rain for the preceding two days before we teed off. That meant that the greens...
After watching the East course on Sky Sports for the Euro Pro Tour, we were very excited to finally be playing the course and in great conditions. We were greeted off the...
The 1st hole at Crowborough is a relatively benign straight par 4 down a gentle slope to the green which gives you no indication as to what is to come on the second hole....
We played the Addington late last August and unfortunately for us this coincided with a late summer storm that rolled in that day. We had the full Galvins on and were sti...
Granville is a beautiful links course on the northern coast of France. The clubhouse building looks like a chateaux and has a very grandiose entrance. The food is also ph...
We played the revamped Himalayas 9 after completing the Shore and the Dunes 9s and thought that our dwindling energy levels might impact our thoughts on the course. How w...
Royal Ashdown Forest is a very nice, hilly, bunkerless, friendly course with unique quirks set amongst towering trees.
The first opens up with a hugely sloping fairway...
I was very lucky to have the opportunity to play Sand Hollow which is in the Mormon state of a Utah and is just a 2 hour drive from Las Vegas. The unique aspect to this c...
We played Stoneham on a cracking day in June and were really impressed by what was an excellent track. We were lucky enough to see some wild deer and also lucky enough no...
We played Sherborne recently in the Men's Betterball Open and I was really looking forward to playing a hidden gem that many people had said was a really good course.
Un...
We played Parkstone at the beginning of June on a dull but nice warm day. What a fantastic golf course it is. It reminded me a little bit of St George’s Hill that we play...
We walked into the pro shop to hear a 5 handicapper say to the Pro that he shot a brilliant round and couldn't play any better. The Pro behind the counter asked what he s...
Royal Liverpool certainly has a lot of prestige being a regular Open rota venue and we were very excited to be playing it. I even bought a brand new TaylorMade hybrid in...
When we played the Wolf at Paiute I hadn't actually realised it was a Pete Dye course, but looking back it was clear to see his handiwork.The course is an oasis of green...
Even though we were playing Wolf Creek and the Wolf course at Las Vegas Paiute, in the same week, we were still quite excited to be playing an ex-PGA Tour course to see w...
Wolf Creek is something special. It's even on the Tiger Woods PlayStation game. It's almost a surreal feeling playing such a stunning and unique course. A course that you...

Played Killeen Castle in 2011 in the Cyder Cup just after the Solheim Cup so the course was in immaculate condition.My abiding memory from Killeen was that the greens wer...

I played Rodebosch about 16 years ago when I wasn't really a golf aficionado. We were on holiday and decided at the last minute to play a round of golf at the nearest cou...
