Prince’s (Himalayas) 16/09/2021
6th
99th
I really enjoyed the Himalayas nine at Prince’s; indeed I felt it was certainly the most individual of the three. It’s played to the north of the clubhouse towards Pegwel...
Wildernesse 16/09/2021
7th
I’ve played a few times at Wildernesse now, and the course continues to grow on me. In fact I’d say it was the best tree-lined parkland golf course I’ve played. I think i...
Walmer & Kingsdown 16/09/2021
21st
Positives - great views, peace and tranquility, good value at £25 twilight green fee. Some decent holes, most notably 7, 10, 16 and 18. All of these were sweeping downhil...
Kingswood Golf & Country Club 19/08/2021
39th
Kingswood is a good parkland course in very good condition in this, at least in the South of England, damp summer. It rewards being straight and particularly rewards stay...
Worthing (Lower) 06/08/2021
15th
The Lower, or Colt course at Worthing golf club was a tough ask on a windy and later wet and windy day. There are some long par 4s, some long par 3s, some big climbs (com...
East Sussex National (West) 04/08/2021
9th
As my recent review of the East Course would suggest I felt the West course at the East Sussex National golf resort was a little less good than the East. I say this not b...
East Sussex National (East) 03/08/2021
11th
Perhaps it was the weather - a dry day, if still damp underfoot, perhaps it was because I played a bit better (at least more consistently), perhaps it was the rather bett...
Knole Park 31/07/2021

89th
The English language changes, often to the annoyance of the old. Many an old forest contains relatively few trees. So Knole Park golf club is not a golf course of tree l...

The first time I played West Sussex I went round twice in a day, but driving the odd holes both times. My teammate and I were wowed as each new tee box seemed to present...
Littlehampton 04/07/2021
12th
I really enjoyed Littlehampton. It’s an unpretentious and welcoming club, which offers something very different for those brought up on the tree-lined courses of most of...
Chelmsford 03/07/2021
3rd
Come to Essex for the hills. Not a phrase often said. But one which is definitely appropriate for Chelmsford Golf Club. Come to Essex for the par 4s and 3s would be a sta...
Foxhills (Longcross) 20/06/2021
28th
One of the great positives of golf is that the terrain on which it is played comes in so many variations. The Longcross course at Foxhills fitted firmly into the tree lin...
Brickendon Grange 28/05/2021
20th
Brickendon Grange at the end of a wet May was very damp, perhaps even squelchy. Understandably winter rules on the fairway, and some plugged shots off fairway. Grass rath...
Canons Brook 18/10/2020
7th
Canon’s Brook does not subscribe to the easy start school of golf. Except perhaps for the longest hitter the first is a lay up with a long second over the brook itself. T...
Bramshaw (Manor) 26/09/2020
14th
I enjoyed playing the Manor course at Bramshaw last week. It is a nice parkland course with good holes to test a golfer. It also offers an appropriate mix of risk and rew...
Seaton Carew (Old) 13/08/2020

68th
I played the Old layout at Seaton Carew on a still, somewhat misty morning with a gentle zephyr out of the north east - all in all benign conditions. The pin positions we...
