Browning Nice friendly club tucked into a built-up area in london. Course was in great condition when I played it in the summer and the greens were amongst the best I have played on. Fast and difficult to read but if you get it right the ball stays true. the long par 4's up and down the hill over the stream are a joy to play - especially the 15th. Would recommend to anyone in North London. 2753

Steve the Duffer Played this course a couple of times last year and it's like 2 different courses if the wind is blowing. Great holes on the top of the hill in among the gorse and potholes - which is like proper links. The holes down the bottom of the hill are not so great or picturesque but some are still a worthy challenge. Difficult to get in the club house though because you need a code to get in and I didn't realise the first time and we weren't given it when we arrived at the pro shop. 2244

2008-02-29T10:12:00Z

Great when it's not windy 2

2008-02-29T10:16:17Z

Steve the Duffer If you like hills then get yourself to Waterhall. It is up and down all day and to be honest it gets away with it because there are some great holes. Like the other courses along the downs it feels a bit like links in some places but overall for a municipal it really is very interesting and in good condition. Would play here again but maybe only because of the value for money - we payed only Ã?Â£11 each during off peak a couple of years ago. 177

This is a must if you like hills! 3

Henry Alliss Old Thorns Golf and Country Club is now under new managment and flourishing for it. As a member for some years it is great to see the club finally moving forward in the right direction. The facilities are improving daily and with the addition of around 100 extra bedrooms and the new conferencing room the club is going to be one fo the very best in the South. The course is in fantastic condition for the time of year and if you have not played this course you really are missing out. 2752

Henry I recently played at the Oxfordshire Golf Club for the first time. I could not have been more impressed with the facilities, staff, and course. I had heard many a tale about the adverse weather conditions at the course but to my delight we had about as perfect a day as possible. This however, did not help to improve my golfing abilities and I soon found out how difficult the course really is. Finding the water on no less than four occasions I would strongly advise anyone wanting to play this great course to bring plenty of balls! 1849

Tiger Thomas Played here with a mate who lives locally. Found it quite tough as a high handicapper but I really enjoyed it. I had a nightmare on one hole - the 16th I think - which was a charity hole. A par 3, if you miss the green you've had it. I missed the green. Food's good too but a bit pricey. 2752

With the likes of Peter and Percy Alliss once gracing the pro-shop the club is not short of golfing memorabilia, just head to Alliss bar to see for yourself.

Davey This is a great little 9 nine hole on the downs above Brighton. The course plays very differently from the second lot of tees so it feels like an 18 hole course. Great hole down the steep hill which can be anything from a wedge to a 5 iron depending on the wind. 174

2008-03-04T16:21:25Z

Great little 9 hole 24

2008-03-04T16:21:45Z

JT Liphook is a classic course. The clubhouse and facilities are understated and unassuming but none of that matters - it is the golf which is worth the Ã?Â£25 green fee. It starts with a par-3 (unusual) and provides an excellent test over the first four which can either set you up for a great round or put an end to your ambitions. The par 4 ninth is a good challenge, followed by a beautiful flush of holes through 10-14. The greens are superb (for February when we played) and the drainage has obviously been well invested in. Liphook GC does not do fuss and glitz - it just presents an excellent golf course which is a challenge and a pleasure at every turn. 641

2008-03-07T04:15:43Z

No fuss, just a classic golf course 25

2008-03-07T04:25:10Z

Peter G Played this course last year in great sunshine and no wind - which is unusual for golf up here. Course was in decent condition and had some interesting holes but it is very tight. Lot's of the holes and tright and tree lined and have ditches running up the length of the fairway. It is not a course for booming wayward drives around so you have to think a bit to get round. Tough test. Great facilities though because it is a modern building with Gym and sports facilities. 743

Bill Hopkins This course has more than 100 bunkers, so make sure to avoid them if you are going to stay anywhere near par. It has all the facilities you expect of a club of this stature and does not dissapoint. Their sister course Dale Hill is only just down the road and well worth a visit if you are there for the weekend. 1743

2008-03-12T04:42:08Z

Tom James The resort has two courses Riva dei Tessali and Metaponto, although this Riva dei Tessali is by far the best one. The area is still very undiscovered and wonderfully quiet and relaxing. Both courses also have the added benefit of freshly picked oranges on every tee. The only let down was the accommodation which could do with a facelift; I would recommend taking one of the villas as these were better than the main hotel. With a private beach and traditional southern local food - try the home made mozzarella itÃ¢â?¬â?¢s amazing - the resort it a fantastic weekend getaway in a region on Italy that is still much undiscovered. Well worth a vist. 3908

David Connor A testing but rewarding course that is well worth a look for anyone playing golf in the Edinburgh area. A superb layout keeps each hole varied and ensures an array of different shots are required. Although there are few trees to speak of, keeping it on the fairway is a must as vicious rough will tangle your ball or swallow it altogether. The star hole is the 15th - a 90 degrees dogleg right, which tempts you to cut the corner but if you come up short you're out of bounds. Trying to go straight down the middle is no easy task with an avenue of pine trees to feed it through first of all. One to avoid following a downpour as the course doesn't drain particularly well but in good conditions this is as good a day out as any in the area. 2025

Plus the half way hut has to be the best in the world! Well worth going just for a half time snack!

The Rover Prevailing conditions: Sunshine, blue skies, a breath of wind, sunshine, blue skies... ...what a cracking location for a golf course, set high above the Med on two plateaux with breathtaking views. An interesting mix of holes with the carry from back tee on the 3rd requiring no shortage of skill and a Desperate Dan breakfast to find the fairway. Other highlights include the par 3 7th, played across a gorge to a semi-island green and the 8th is equally majestic with the cobalt blue Med as an impressive backdrop. Back nine has no shortage of thrills including a great finishing hole. A very enjoyable golf course with great clubhouse and facilities. 4661

2008-04-01T05:01:32Z

Dave Roberts This is a great course especially since the new bunkers and tees have been put in over the last 5 years. Some great signature holes like the 14th, bunkers that make you think your way round and some really tough par 3's to hit. All in all a very nice course. 1856

2008-03-31T14:49:19Z

2008-04-01T05:01:43Z

James Jones Played here last summer. What a great course. Will definatley be going back this summer. Make sure to go out when the wind is really howling, what an experience seeing the surf whip off the cliffs on the front nine. A must play course. 2687

Windy Gem 45

2008-04-02T12:30:00Z

Playing the course as a junior member, I always remember Seedy Mill to offer a good mix of eagle opportunities and longer tougher par 4s, which complement each other to produce a pretty even round, each week steadily working on my handicap. The 9th is a great hole, particualrily when negotiating the aproach into the shallow green protected short and long by water. 1282

2008-04-01T09:43:15Z

Great club to establish a handicap 46

2008-04-02T12:30:03Z

Aston Wood is a relatively flat golf course so the wind can considerably influence a game. Standing at the highest point is the first tee, which is an intimidating first shot, particualrily since the introduction of the lake on the left of the fairway. The 3rd is a great strategic hole, which sets the trend for how you should play the rest of your round. This course is a good test of golf, although the green can be sometimes poor. 2238

2008-04-01T11:19:54Z

Good strategic test 47

2008-04-02T12:30:08Z

I played both courses during a weekend away at Breadsall and really enjoyed two very different tests of golf. Playing the Moorland first, it 'does exactly what it says on the tin', offering an enjoyable open moorland test. The Priory has so many distint memorable holes, you have to play it more than once to really appreciate what it has to offer, (although make sure you take your trolly). The hotel has excellent facilities complementing a great golfing weekend. 755

2008-04-01T11:35:32Z

A great weekend of golf 48

2008-04-02T12:30:11Z

I have played Baden every summer for the last three years and always enjoy the contrast of a parkland by the sea. The course is tight in places and water is in play on many holes. The 18th is a hard uphill final climb, but has been the decider on all three of our match play games. Good course and well worth a visit if you are in Brittany. 3259

2008-04-02T05:46:10Z

Great mix of links and parkland 49

2008-04-02T12:30:16Z

Being the first course played on our summer golf holiday to France, it was nice to be eased into the courses Brittany has to offer. This course is technically not too difficult, but does require accuracy as most of the holes are tree lined, although sparse. The 18th stands out, as the green can be reached in two offering an excellent risk-reward hole (although for me the reward has never paid off). 3207

2008-04-02T06:02:09Z

Good start to a week in Brittany 50

2008-04-02T12:30:20Z

I played this course for the first time 3 years ago, leaving it as our final game as the highlight of the holiday. The course is technically excellent, but we were let down by the quality. I have visited again and conditions have vastly improved giving an overall great round of golf. Many of the holes are tight with slight doglegs requiring accuracy off the tee. A great match play course, which was undecided until the 17th. 3215

2008-04-02T06:12:14Z

A great match play course 51

2008-04-02T12:30:23Z

Ploemer is one of the courses linked to Formule golf, like many of the courses on the west coast of Brittany, who offer great value for money when playing a week's golf. I played this course on probably the worst day of summer 06, with very strong winds and rain, but it made the game a great experince. The holes out on the coast have exceptional views, particularily the par three 11th , which I never get right with the distracting sea views. Earlier holes have fairways and greens surrounded by water, making this course a tough challenge even for single figure handicappers. 3238

2008-04-02T07:12:58Z

A must play for those who love links golf 52

2008-04-02T12:30:27Z

Steve B Cowdray Park has undergone some pretty big changes off the course in the past five years or so but the course remains a classic West Sussex challenge. It is not for the fair-weather golfer and is hard work (one of the few courses I have played where it's easier without a trolley!) to walk especially if the wind blows. That said, it has a really enjoyable mix of tough par 4's and par 3's that can reward your card if you concentrate. Well work the effort, this is a classic golf course with amazing views of the South Downs looking down over the Cowdray Estate. 739

2008-04-02T09:13:04Z

Amazing views and challenging golf 53

2008-04-02T12:30:30Z

I Ramsay have played this short (to some) 9 hole course a few times and just like it because it is not plan. Elevated tees, elevated holes, unseen holes form tees, water and on my lack of knowledge and experience greens are fast and resonable good condition. The owner likes to keep a level of etiquette but not snobbery!. 1253

2008-04-03T11:18:18Z

Its different!. 54

2008-04-06T12:13:17Z

scott mcfee Don`t be put off by the fact this is only a nine holer? It offers a real challenge, with some great risk and reward holes. The course is quite short, but the small greens make it a great test of golf. 1478

clint walker Every thing about brid links is screams class , as you drive down the long road that runs beween the 18 and 9 hole coures towards the club house you get your first feeling that this is going to be good... the club house is massive and these about 15 golf buggies outside the pro shop(seperate from club house). the driveing range has loads of bays some of which have electric ball feeder things( dont know what you call them)as i sliced ball after ball i decided the 250 yard marker was safe.. anyway on with the golf , the first hole has a pond right in the middle of the fairway around 150 yards so those first drives better not be short and the third is a par 5 with two ponds and a stream to battle with (more water on the 9th and 18th ) . some of the course is hilly but its mostly flat , the back nine takes you out onto the coast line and is the hard nine.. with a mix of water , trees and rough which only gets cut every few years due to wildlife( i think) the test is a stiff one , but i love it..that was my first time at brid links , i am now a member 2049

Bridlington Links .. A must try course 57

2008-04-06T12:13:41Z

Ian Leave your monster driver at home for a change and come and play golf. Position and accuracy are the keys to a good round here. Bunkers are not needed as the course is protects itself with heather and gullies which are punishment enough if you stray from the neat and tidy fairways on the way to the small and teasing but true greens. The 4th is one of the toughest par 3's around especially into the wind. Don't be fooled by the yardage. It's a tough little course which looks after itself well unless you bring your straight game! It's a beauty. 2674

2008-04-04T15:04:16Z

The Rover What a stunning golf course. Having visited Mallorca several times in recent years I can vouch for the fact that the quality of golf on the island is definitely on the up. I played Son Gual last month and it has raised the bar again - by some considerable margin. The quality of the course and set up at Son Gual will ensure that it won't be long before everyone who values an exquisite golfing experience will be knocking on its door for a piece of the action. A must-play Mediterranean star! 5130

A. Seago Played this course June 2007 just after the French open was played here. The course was in great condition and a real challenge to most of the 30 of us who went. Although it was raining to start I think we all enjoyed ourselves, particularly as we all booked buggies, its very hilly so highly recommended. 3318

Great course 65

2008-04-21T09:19:26Z

A. Seago Played this course with a hangover which really didnt help. If the wind is blowing, as when we played, this is a tough course. Take plenty of balls with you, I play off 9 and lost 3. Theres a par three here about 170yds with nowhere but the green to land, its a pig! Personaly I wont be rushing back but Im glad I played it. You have been warned! 3315

2008-04-21T09:19:31Z

A.Seago Ive played here twice and like the course very much, though last time they had altered it to take in some new holes still very good. My main memories, particularly of the first time I played it were the speed of the greens, like lightning, and unfortunately both times how unhelpful the staff were. Buggies booked but none available when we get there, food ordered, wait nearly an hour for it. Maybe its because we are English! We wont be going again 3288

Shame about the staff 67

2008-04-21T09:19:39Z

A. Seago Excellent condition, lovely greens and one of the best par 3,s in Essex, the 14th. Straight off the tee a must 1339

HOLES 7/8/9 WILL EITHER MAKE OR BREAK YOUR CARD AS THE BURN RUNS DOWN THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FAIRWAY ON THESE HOLES AND THE 17TH IS A GREAT HOLE TO GO FOR AN EAGLE AT FOR THE LONG HITTER. GOOD FOOD IN THE QUITE CLUB HOUSE AND THE COURSE CAN BE QUITE AT TIMES TOO. THE PRO SHOP IS VERY AVERAGE AND VERY PRICEY.

Tiger Thomas 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. 4125

2008-05-28T14:30:50Z

mike lee 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. 2205

Keith Clegg 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. 722

Richard 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!!!! 1061

John 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! 1309

Steve Brine 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. 1342

Alan Michael 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. 2658

2008-08-14T16:45:44Z

Lee Adams If your a tree lover you'll love this course,all fairways are surrounded by plenty of trees of all desciption.I've found this course great for beginners as there are very few hazards.There is a small water hazard at the 1st hole and a pond at the 11th.Apart from these hazards there is nothing for the beginner/average golfer to fear.I've played this course a number of times and have beating my previous score everytime.On my 1st visit i was surprised how forgiving the course can be,which i was very happy with as i was having a nightmare.I would recommend this course for any budding golfer who might be wary of playing on a course for the first time. 539

the krumester i was extremely lucky to play muirfield on 5th august this year. What can i say....this is one fantastic test of golf.you will need to play every shot and use every club you have in your bag.the condition of the course was great (but what would you expect!!). the thing that sticks in my mind was the bunkering, it is brilliant.Standing on the 4th, i couldnt see any of the 6 bunkers that surronded this superb par 3, and this is from an slightly elevated tee.I play off 6, when i played, it was 161 yards and i flushed a 4 iron and was still short. if you get the chance grab it with both hands and don't let go. 482

Dave Many people who hear about Harrogate Golf Club automatically assume they will shoot low scores. This however rarely happens. The course is over 100 years old and the trees around the course have all grown up. The fairways are tight and if you leak out into the rough you can struggle to make par. The greens are very tricky and will test golfers of any standard. You can get confidence up on the front 9 and possible first 12 holes but be prepared for the last 6 holes. 13th is stroke index 1 and a good tee shot is vital. 14th is a par 3 of around 167 yards from white tee's and the green is surrounded by bunkers 15th is a slight dog leg all up hill just over 400 yards and usually into wind 16th is another long 430 yard par 4, into wind and up hill. 17th comes back down hill and at 386 yards you may think is quite easy but a bad tee shot will see you walk off the 3 tiered green with a bogey. 18th is again 400 yards plus, up hill and usually into wind with out of bounds down the right and trees down the left. Harrogate golf course is a test for any golfer and you'll have a very enjoyable day if you play there 2340

Nick Page A very different type of course, heatland without the gorse, laid out amongst fells - how golf courses should and used to be. Superb views, fairly easy rough, but some real challenging holes (including the par 3 in a bowl). Very small greens which don’t necessarily look the part (although in fairness they were hollow tined at the time we visited) but ran true and quick (even after a deluge of rain). All in all a real gem in the area, and one to be played (but if you’re frightened of horses, don’t as they roam freely, which just adds to the enjoyment). Very friendly reception in bar and shop. A must to visit if you are in the area 2724

Keith Duncan "With three mountains surrounding as a back drop and the coastline in front, Penmaenmawr Golf Course is as challenging in golf as it is stimulating in scenic beauty." Taken from the club website and very true. This 9 hole 18 tees)course is on the lower side of a large hill and has the original stone walls running through it from the days it was used as farm fields. The course is fairly forgiving as there is not that much rough but club selection is important as there are no flat holes. They are either holes to be played down to or up to and most greens are elevated so you cannot run the ball onto the green. All in all the course is in excellent condition and despite the weather and the fact of having to walk up and down the slopes is good to play. Definitely worth playing if you are in the area and the hospitality at the 19th will make you feel really welcome. 2649

North Wales best Kept secret!! 89

2008-12-01T10:26:53Z

colin It's not the longest course in the world - plans are afoot to increase the length, which will take it just above 6,000 yards. But don't be fooled - this is a course that places more emphasis on where you hit the ball, not how far you can smash it. Hit it too far offline and you're in water, in the gorse, over the gfence and in the top-secret Special Boat Service HQ (yes, honestly!) - and will mean reloading. The club hosted its first pro-am for a generation last year, and the best score the pros managed was a three-under 67 - and the famous Solent breeze was just a timid whimper that day. It's a good test and the greens are beautiful. It's the south coast's best-kept secret. 469

Owen Barnes A wonderful day's golf. Not a true Links course such as Royal Liverpool, but a very fine mixture of interesting holes to test anyone without being too difficult to spoil your day if you are a higher handicapper like myself. Considering the quality of the course and club house I thought the green fees were excellent value.No rip-offs here.One of the most enjoyable days golfing I have ever had. Would definitely recomend and look forward to a return visit. Not too hilly, reasonably flat, but I did use a Buggy which on reflection was worth while as I am a Senior. 2887

Owen Barnes A very apt name for this course. Condition was only reasonable thing. Organisation and Tee times was rubbish. No course Marshals about so Continental Golfers playing off 36+ never waved you through. Hold ups all the time, walked off after 8 holes (three hours) and demanded my money back. Only managed to reclaim the Buggy fee.Club House looked atractive but never went inside.Just wanted to get the hell out of the place. 4448

Owen Barnes Nice course in excellent condition. Buggy highly recomended. Use a Caddy, as well. It is worth the small cost especially when you hit off the fairway into the Desert. He will take it as a personal offence if he is unable to find your ball. Be prepared for the sprinklers that come on evey 15 minutes. Quite a suprise the first couple of times. You just stop for a few minutes. Lovely Club house. Expect Tourist prices but who cares when on holiday.Would go back again but there are so many other courses to play in Belek first. 4449

J D Hi JD here from USA I had a though that I wanted to share with you about this green zone course in Narantie, Finland. This course is in both Finland and Sweden. 2 countries 2 cities 2 time zones The green on the 6th hole is half in Finland and half in Sweden. You could tee off in Sweden get a hole in one in Finland and the shot would take over and hour due to the one hour time difference.One day on this course lasts from May 22 until July 21 giving many midnight rounds of golf. Just think you can play all day all night. If you tee of for example on no 18 on June 20 at 11:30 pm in Sweden you would finish the hole sometime shortly after 12:30 am in Finland the next day !! But the kicker is if you tee of on no3 in Finland on June 21st at 12:10 am you would finish the hole in Sweden sometime after 11:10 pm on June 20 THE DAY BEFORE!!! You change time zones 4 times in one round this has to be time travel while golfing. 3006

It may be short but no one will murder this course. What a welcome in the Clubhouse, cheap drinks and a choice of meals to suite all tastes. The staff and Members were also very friendly. I would reccomend this golf club to all players no matter what handicap. 885

Steve Myers Someone told me this course was a cracker so I booked. When I got there I looked at the card and noticed of the 9 holes 5 of them were par 3`s, was this a fancy chip and putt course? I couldn`t have been more wrong this parkland, tree lined course is absolute quality and a joy to play. As soon as I arrived I noticed the pratice putting green and thought how good it looked, reminded me of Royal Liverpool greens. This course seems to attract respectful golfers who do replace divots and repair pitch marks on the greens as the condition of the course is second to none, you don`t get thet municipal feel about the place with shirtless tattood morons effin and jeffin. There are rakes at every bunker and excellent tee positions the only thing missing is a shed halfway round selling pop and crisps. As I mentioned the greens are superb and the mix of holes albeit short ones are excellent, my 8 year old loves the course. Stroll along listening to the birds watching the rabbits and squirrels play and you can be sure that if your ball is on the fairway you have a nice lie. The rough is not too long and the tee booking systems makes sure there are not too many players on the course at one time. 1

ian cook With 2013 Centenary planning well on its way, the beautiful and well-appointed Alister MacKenzie parkland course at Hazel Grove Golf Club in Cheshire, is characterised by several natural water hazards. Add to these the planting of a further 6,500 trees to supplement the existing ones and you can understand why thoughtful course management is required by golfers of all levels. The course has a number of feature holes each presenting its own individual MacKenzie challenge. The par 5 third is as testing as any and ranks amongst the best in Cheshire, while the best of the par 3's is arguably the eleventh, both for its degree of difficulty and picturesque layout. Equally, the eighteenth finishing hole with its MacKenzie tiered green and backdrop of the chalet-style clubhouse ranks with the best on the course. With so many outstanding holes, it's hard to highlight any one as a 'signature' hole. However, the fifteenth, dominated by a large sweeping lake, which runs along the left hand edge of the fairway, and across the front and down the left of the green, must take the honour. At 285 yards, this par 4 represents the ultimate risk or reward hole. From the elevated tee the green always seems within reach with a well struck drive, but your mind is then further concentrated by the out of bounds which runs along the right edge of the fairway. The decision is yours - lay up, or take on the green? Golfers who enjoy and appreciate the challenge of MacKenzie Courses will love the welcome they get at Hazel Grove and we trust they will leave saying "Golf in Cheshire just doesn't get any better than this!"
