Jersey is a wonderful island to visit for anyone wanting to experience a slice of the British Isles with a twist of France. I‘ve visited this island only once but would g...
Simply an excellent course but not for the faint heart. Golf on steroids, bold, brash and exciting. I have no idea what the other poster meant by saying "Jim Engh really"...
I played the Renaissance Club earlier this year because Tom Doak designed it and I have a great deal of admiration for his work. It must be hard to have your work scrutin...
I’m a huge fan of Stanley Thompson’s designs and have played a lot of his courses including Highlands, Banff and Jasper. These three courses and Capilano are all set in j...
Sebonack is quite simply an unbelievable golf course that gets off to a flying start with a cracking opening short par four, followed by the toughest and best hole on the...
There’s nothing private about St Andrews Beach this is a now a public access facility as it seems their ambitious plans did no come off. The course is fantastic and there...
Recently spent two weeks golfing in Victoria and liked this exhilarating course very much indeed. I played with a high handicapper who found the going too tough in what w...
Mornington is the second best patch of golfing country in Australia after Melbourne and the Moonah at the brilliant National was the toughest course I played during my Vi...
RTJ II has a habit of creating tough courses and the Old is no exception. The tight rollercoaster greens seemed a bit tricked up for my liking and coupled with narrow tre...
Billed as the National’s third course, I liked the Ocean just as much, perhaps a bit more than the manufactured Old course. The Ocean feels more in tune with the land but...
For me, Barwon Heads was the surprise of my trip. This was reminiscent of a traditional British links course and even the clubhouse felt homely and traditional. Why can’t...
By some considerable distance, this is Tom Fazio’s finest design. The routing of the course is incredible given the setting and green sites are at times jaw dropping. I’v...
I too have been a member at Perranporth and I have really fond memories of my time there. It’s not the best course in the Southwest, but it’s one that my friends always e...
There’s a parallel between Royal Melbourne and Wentworth. Both clubs have two courses named West and East (all four courses were laid out around the same time) and both c...
Bandon Dunes is a spiritual, perhaps soulful place and the hour car ride from any of the major airports just seems to add to the allure of Bandon. I’ve been here a couple...
For the best experience, play Chambers Bay in midsummer as the condition of this course is wanting for most other times. Have played here now three times and on each occa...
Ghost Creek is one of the best conditioned parkland courses I’ve ever had the pleasure to play. It’s not the cheapest at around $130 but it’s one of the best and trickies...
Bulle Rock is expensive but is packs more wow factor for the dollar than just about any course I’ve played. Some arduous inclines and rough so fierce you can wave bye bye...
I’m a big fan of Engh’s work and Hawktree is one of his best, although Tullymore for me is better. The course feels and looks so natural, poured over the landscape. The b...
Not as good as the hyperbole I’m afraid but Black Mesa is relatively cheap and is entertaining. The main problem for me is that it doesn’t flow very well as a course. You...
