Weston-Super-Mare 17/10/2021
3rd
Holiday golf can mean a number of things - pejoratively as golf which is deliberately easy; more neutrally as golf played when on holiday and generally at the coast and p...
Burnham & Berrow (Championship) 17/10/2021
1st
26th
66th
Burnham and Berrow, on a couple of mild, almost windless days was still a stern test, though it did perhaps lack a bit of wow factor, particularly on the back nine where...
Prince's (Shore & Dunes) 03/10/2021
3rd
45th
99th
So why have I given this 4.5. Reading the rating description above I don't quite think Prince's is worth flying in to play; it's certainly worth staying the night, and I...
Woodcote Park 03/10/2021
42nd
I felt Woodcote to be solid, but lacking in inspiration. As the headline review states it's moved from being a downland course to very much a parkland design, and, in lat...
Littlestone (Championship) 26/09/2021
4th
67th
At the end of a dry six to seven weeks Littlestone was classic links - no fairway watering, brown fairways and rock hard greens. I really enjoyed it.Every course needs a...
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
5th
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...
