I played Army Golf Club a day after some very heavy rain. My overall impression was a well loved course which was still suffering from the effects of the very dry 2018 an...
All courses have front and back nines. None that I have played have more contrasting front and back nines. The front nine at Newark is tree lined, relatively long and, at...
Isle of Purbeck is a bit like a stylish uncle whose clothes and manner still reek class, but whose clothes are a bit threadbare. It does have the best views I’ve had on a...
Broadstone is a big course in a number of ways. First it has elevation, second it has views, third it has space and fourth, despite having only two par fives it has long...

I do rather like Dunstable Downs, though it does definitely have some quirks. It’s a course of two parts; 1 to 9 are down in the valley, 10 works it’s way to the top and...
It’s been said before, and will no doubt be again, but the Berkshire experience is only in part about the golf courses. The other part is about the 18 hole putting green,...
