	Good test of golf by anyone’s standard. Doesn’t not have the polished feel like Royal Aberdeen next door but I don’t like they go after that either. This is the working mans playing club. Serious golf

	Royal Aberdeen (Balgownie)
	Wonderful classic links. Played it on a beautiful links kind of day, sunshine and a gentle breeze. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience from the warm welcome in the pro shop to the jovial steward l

	Royal County Down (Championship)
	Easily my number 1 course that I've played so far. Played here late August 2010. Weather was sunny but a nice breeze was blowing in from the Irish Sea. Sometimes the breeze would whip up, particularly

	Royal St George's
	I might be a hacker but I can't understand the hype about this place. This is a one hell of a tough track and I agree with that. But being ranked that high I can't understand this. Yes it is very h

	Sunningdale (Old)
	Played it two days ago on a gorgeous day - sunshine and no wind. Absolutely the most beautiful golf course I have ever played and with courses like

	Pinehurst (No.2)
	Just Played No.2 last Monday. With the current renovations taking it back to its "original" design it is definitively not as "pretty" as I would have thought. Also some of the greens were distressed

	Belfry (PGA National)
	Nice course with a bit of links style feel to it. Open terrain in the midlands also offers a nice challenge to the course in terms of windy conditions. A nice complement to the more famous sister coun

	Belfry (Brabazon)
	This course is certainly in tip top condition. Amazing feat by the grounds staff to keep this course in its current playing condition despite the weather in the west midlands. We played there during t

	Strandhill
	This place is a thrill a minute. So different from most other links courses the routing takes the golfer here there and everywhere and is anything but traditional, and my word what fun. The cou

	Pinehurst (No.2)
	I spent a couple of weeks working in Charlotte at the start of August and was lucky enough to travel to Pinehurst to play a couple of rounds. My trip started with a round on Number 5, which is a lovel

	East Berkshire
	I played East Berks over the weekend and found it very enjoyable and in good condition. The greens had recently been treated and, although slow, were true. The par 3's are excellent (it is nice to pla

	Sperone
	I started playing golf in 2009 and I had the chance to play in sperone two times this summer. This course is unbelievable, the first nine are difficult and interesting even if you never see the sea,

	Heythrop Park
	I played the course 2 weeks ago on a showery day with nice views over the countryside. I found the course through this website because I am always trying new venues for our golf society. The course is

	Washington National
	Wonderful golf course in great condition and not a single boring hole. The course has been bought by the Oki group and once an Oki member can be played for a much reduced fee. The only negative thing

	Olgiata (West)
	Very mature parkland course in the vicinity of Rome. The second 9 holes are laid out along a number of big villas. Generous clubhouse - one of the chique golf clubs where rich Romans (and many interna

	Le Querce
	Very nice course without a weak hole, no doubt. Great lay-out in a beautiful countryside. I played this course in both winter and summer and the greens were immaculate in both seasons. In winter, howe

	Penina
	I played this course on 22/8/10 and it was in great condition. The layout is awesome and a true championship course providing a real challange. The greens offer loads of spin but as a result cut up

	East Sussex National (West)
	I have recently returned from an overnight trip staying at the East Sussex National Resort to play both courses and have to say, I really enjoyed the visit. I did play here back in the mid 90's but co

	Moor Park (High)
	Lovely clubhouse, shame about the course. The fairways were patchy at best, the bunkers looked good but the sand was awful, the greens were 2 paced and the pace of play was disgraceful - almost 5 h

	Templepatrick
	As a frequent visitor to this fantastic inland course I am amazed that it is not a lot busier, every time I play it gets better - hardly surprising as it is still very much in its infancy. The fairwa

	Addington
	Pure golfing heaven and a wonderful layout.Quirky but pretty course with rickety bridges to cross and one of the best par 3's(13th) in the world according to an american golf writer in the 1980s.Even

	Royal Portrush (Dunluce)
	Some of the most memorable holes on our whole Ireland experience. Well worth playing it has a very big feel. One of the best golf experiences every IMO.

	Royal County Down (Championship)
	Excellent experience. Stay at hotel makes it all worthwhile. Head out sit on a bench and watch a few groups play as you wait to get started. Playing the course is worth the money its a rare chance to

	Addington Palace
	A fantastic layout which requires all your shot making skills with the best greens for miles around. The clubhouse and members are extremely friendly. A must play course!

	Glen
	I can’t believe that it has been 5 years since I last played here. Then, I arrived as a confirmed and almost exclusive parkland player to discover that there is a big old world out there. Frankly I wa

	West Hill
	Played this course yesterday and I have to say I was very impressed. The 1st hole is currently undergoing some drainage work so had to play a temporary green but all other 17 holes were in fantastic c

	Monte Mayor
	Fantastic golf course, really enjoyed my round there. Lots of memorable holes and the course was in very good nick. It will test your patience but it has to be on your list of courses to be played in

	Rowallan Castle
	The latest in an increasingly lengthy line of new inland championship courses in Scotland, Rowallan has much going for it, not least two castles and a massive acreage. So big is the footprint of the c

	Royal St David's
	It is easy to see why the course at Harlech is ranked highly, this is a quality links course without doubt with many great holes. In saying that I did have an expectation that I would be giving this a

	Mannings Heath (Waterfall)
	Really disapointed with the condition of the Waterfall course. Having played it several times but not since 2005 i was looking forward to a game with 3 friends for a round we brought in an auction at

	Turnberry (Ailsa)
	I was playing last week in Ailsa course and I just can say one thing about it: AMAZING!!! Design, fairways, tees, staff treated, practice area, scenery, greens, putting green, clubhouse, etc... Every

	We were playing this week at Royal Aberdeen and we found the course in really exceptional good condition. Narrow fairways, fast greens, very good design. Very nice views from the first tee. It´s a rea

	Llandrindod Wells
	An interesting course with a variety of holes, various slopes and often wind; par 4 9th is best hole for me, and I love the drive on 13. Excellant value green fees. Greens tend to be slow due to lack

	Our fourball had an absolute blast today on the Glen course. It's not the most challenging,

	Porthmadog
	There are many references that this course has two distinct halves, with most saying parkland for the front 9 and a links back 9. This is partially true but my feeling is that the two nines can be des

	Attended the Irish Open here in 1999 was hugely impressed by the course and always planned to come back to play. Played here in August 2010 and what an experience. The course has matured into one of t

	Orange County National (Crooked Cat)
	Played both courses at OCN back in 2002. It had all the accolades but all of our 4 ball came off unimpressed. Found it quite bland and a wannabe links course. Didnt work for me. However played a round

	Blairgowrie (Lansdowne)
	I didn't have long to admire the surroundings as I rushed to the starter's hut and then on to the first tee, only just making my tee time....probably not ideal preparation for a tough opening hole whi

	I played Downfield on Friday 20th August and found the whole experience fantastic. I have heard friends mention what a great course it was and that I should try to play it. The chance finally arrived

	Essex County Club
	Essex was once home to Donald Ross and his legacy can be felt throughout the course. His old house is located by the 15th tee box, and the course is a testament to his craft. I have played a number of

	Royal Cinque Ports
	I missed out on playing here a couple of years ago due to lightning so I’ve been eagerly awaiting a chance to get back. And I have to say that the wait has been worth it. What a gem of a course and IM

	At long last I got to play Cruden Bay and now can't wait to return. Those who criticise the course have no golfing soul - the whole experience is wonderful from the moment you arrive to take in the vi
