	Royal Porthcawl
	In a word, class! Royal Porthcawl to my mind is the best of both worlds, a big course yet with a small club feel. A marvellously tough but honest test of Golf in a stunning setting so that you don't m

	Tucker's Point
	A lavishly exclusive club where the likes of Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones are members, we only managed to get a tee time through a friend's friend, who is a member. As soon as you arrive y

	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’ve played many great courses ar

	Gleneagles (PGA Centenary)
	While for the most part the PGA Centenary Course designed by Jack Nicklaus keeps to a similar bunkering style to that of the two Braid courses, the same cannot be said for the integration of the golf

	Cruden Bay
	The most interesting feature of the championship links at Cruden Bay is the routing, originally laid out by Old Tom Morris. The journey of the golfer through the links is a memorable one that weaves i

	Played here on in early march and overall i was impressed. Played as part of a winter deal £119 for a sunday fourball, which I thought represented excellent value. The course is very good, no weak hol

	Portmarnock Hotel & Golf Links
	The Portmarnock Links is a wonderful test of golf and in these difficult times must be the best value for a top quality links course anywhere on these islands. Any visitor to the Dublin area will not

	Heythrop Park
	Another new English course has arrived on the scene and I would say this is worth a visit. In saying that, this is work in progress but the early signs I think are promising. In places this looks very
