I’ve played all courses at Woburn many times. The dukes is my favourite. It’s somewhere inbetween the Duchess and the marquess. It’s just so wonderful playing amongst a established forest. Woburn is class and you will love it

This is premium living. Immaculate golf course, routing is perfect. The inland holes are great. The walk ways are Wimbledon tennis grass and always perfect. We saw greenkeepers out with scissors once cutting away!!Whatever they charge it’s worth it. If you can play it twice or more then lucky you.

Love this place. Course is really interesting and In top condition. Can’t fault it really, not quite a six star, as someone else put it, the soul of a top course isn’t quite there yet, but I think it will be. We keep going back year after year and love every minute of the course. I know this isn’t a clubhouse and food review, but La Reserva is the best of the big courses down there for food and service. Oh my days, the showers are unbelievable. Service is top drawer, once we were playing and heavy rain pounded us for 30 mins, a guy came out with fresh towels and soup for us. That’s the way we like it :)

It’s excellent. Amazing greens, undulating layout. Beautiful lakes, but I just can’t put it in the same league as Valderrama. PGA Catalunya gets a lot of traffic, Valderrama doesn’t. There were quite a few pitch marks in the greens when we played the stadium course and I’ve played it 6 times now. So I love it, but Valderrama pips it for me

This course is jaw dropping. It’s tough and intimating off the tee but I was lucky enough to find many bumps and humps that kicked my ball back onto the fairway. It’s condition is up there with Turnberry and my other favourite course Valderrama. Valderrama is perfect everywhere you look and so is Trump Aberdeen. Special mention to the chipping area, Phil Mickleson said it’s the best he’s seen in the world. We spent 3 hours having chipping duals on there and only left because we were hungry. The clubhouse has great food and friendly staff. Leave politics for politicians and go and enjoy one of the best courses in the world.

Absolutely love Blairgowrie. Has a lovely atmosphere as soon as you drive towards the course. If it was in Surrey, I think it would be much higher up the rankings, but I don’t care as I like it as a secret gem. I love tight tree lined fairways and there an abundance of beautiful trees at Blairgowrie. The greens roll fast and true. There are some simple 340 yard holes that are only a 4 iron and a flick with a wedge but these help the scorecard ticking over and offer birdie opportunities, who doesn’t like making birdies? The finishing stretch is incredible, the 16th from the tips is a beautiful monster of a par 4. I made double but still loved it. We kept walking down the fairway saying to ourselves ‘this is mint’ and it really is. Under the tree canopies there are ferns and moss, felt like being in a mystical forest at times. We loved it so much we went out for 9 on the Lansdown which is tighter and longer than the rosemount in some holes and others you can really open the shoulders up and let rip. I’d play this over the dukes St. Andrews anyway of the week.

Absolute Class. I don't know anyone who's played it that doesn't love it.

I played here three days in a row,after playing Old head and K Club. I loved the experience of being amongst massive sand dunes. The tee boxes feel like your own little world most of the time. Tee boxes are often raised to make use of the spectacular views, as spectacular as Turnberry and you really feel the connection with the ocean here. 13th is great par 5 that you can reach in two, but the green is raised by about 50 foot with trouble all around. Then onto the short par 3 14th, which is like the short one at Pebble, ocean behind and and the green drops down below the tee considerably. Played it in three different winds, 18th is great finishing hole, I hit three wood in the wind on the first day, 5 iron second day and 7 iron on the last. The tee shot has the ocean on the right, so will scare any slicers of the ball.The greens weren't as slick as I'd like. They are amazing green complexes, with lots of slope, so maybe the green keeper was keeping them fairly slow and true to help the resort experience. Don't want too many 4 putts otherwise people won't come back. Well worth the mission to Doonbeg, there is a nice restaurant in the local town too and loads of diddly dee pubs to keep you entertained.

Pebble beach on steroids! I know people that have played Pebble and say Old head is far superior. I just can't get enough of the spectacular views. The golf course is challenging but fair, in lush condition always and fun always. Whether its in Wind or sunshine, Old head is an experience you will want again and again. I play the top courses in Europe and Old head is one I go back to twice a year at least.I know it's not a clubhouse review, but the service, food and general atmosphere around the club is top notch. Maybe because it's owned by a family, but you are treated as a member for the day and made to feel special.

It's hard. The condition is perfect all year round. Practise facilities are tour standard (And you can watch Álvaro Quirós smash the ball out of the range most days). It has great history with the Ryder Cup being there, what more could you want from one of the top courses in the world. Just bear in mind it's tough, so if you don't mind the golfing equivalent of S&M and you are lucky enough to play it, i'd play here every week of my life if i could. Not a blade of grass is out of place and I love it.
