St Thomas's Priory Golf Club Golf Club
A great course to watch for the future
St Thomas's Priory may have had its share of hard times but that is firmly in the past. The course looks and plays great and the new clubhouse bar has everything you need. Favourite holes were the 2nd, a short par 3,playing down into a secluded part of the course, the 10th that has the green appearing majestically in the distance over the brow of the hill and the 18th, driving across the lakes, a real mind bender. A very enjoyable round, challenging and rewarding when you get it right.
Verulam Golf Club
Boy this is tough!
Played here on Friday afternoon on the way to a nearby wedding and it makes marriage look easy. Don't get me wrong, the course does not look tough but it is a real test of golf. The front nine is long and challenging but the back nine steps it up some more and constantly demands long, straight powerful drives to make the fairway. This is not golf for the beginner but it is an excellent test and well worth a visit. The 'Road Hole' 17th is a strange - and some could argue dangerous layout - but is clearly the signature hole and good fun to play. I even had a par-3 at this one! Customer service and friendliness to guests was not great but golf was spot on.
Richmond (Richmond upon Thames) Golf Club
Green fee's during the week are £20.00
I played there last week at 12:00 pm on a Tuesday, and found that the course was in good nick and better still there was few people on it. Its a great course to get you back in to the swing of things. Plus it took 3.5 hours to play a round. Well worth it!

This is an excellent and quite taxing test of golf! Not the longest course in the world, but one that requires most -if not all- of a golfers shot repertoire. A stunningly beautiful parkland course set at the foot of the splendous Ochil Hills, the course gives a feel of playing in Switzerland or Austria rather than Central Scotland. Its location is perfect for St Andrews (40 mins) and Gleneagles (20 mins). The SSS is 67 by the way, not 66 as described. Well worth a visit!!!!
Bushey Golf and Country Club
Good Golf
just been back to Bushey - have to say that the course is in much better shape than last time I played.
Matlock Golf Club
Hard going
I played in the seniors open 4/6/08 and must say that this is by far the most physically demanding course I have ever played, there are some very long par 4s over many ravines, and when you weren't hitting over ravines you seemed to always be walking up hill, playing here made walking up Snowdon easy, that said the fairways (when you found them) and the greens were in very order. Yes I am glad I played there, and no I won't be going back. It also should be said that the members made you very welcome and the food was excellent.
Fairbourne Golf Club
An enjoyable round of golf
I think fairbourne is a very challanging par 3 course, some of its short holes are also the hardest to some, due to their short lenght its difficult to control the ball, like holes 5 and 8 for example. It also has some rather challenging tees like the whites, with its par 4 255 yarder which is testing for the best of golfers and requires a good straight shot to reach the flag.There is also a weekly competition at the club every saturday where you will play against your handicap and have a fun round with some friendly people, The course is overall good and challenging, so grab your clubs and come to sunny fairbourne for a round.
Monte Mayor
What a course! Took a while to get there but boy was it worth it. Be prepared to lose a few balls as it is situated right on the side of the mountain and if you go a few yards off line you will never see your ball again! Great course and one highly recomended for a fun round of golf.

Kirkcaldy Golf Club
FAST TRICKY GREENS
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
