21, not bad. Good thread.
 
Definitely called Guildford Golf Club. You can check their website.(y)
I was unsure, I actually had Merrow down first then changed it on my list.
Maybe an historical thing like Swindon GC and Ogbourne Downs.

Ian G,,,Isle of Bute good call, played that once and played really well, great experience especially that green that is actually on the beach. :eek:
Cancel my dodgy Iona.

‘Will sort Q when next in the algarve.
 
Being idle I looked at the data: quite some variety in courses but also loads of overlap too. BiM has most overlap having played 14 courses where others have too, most have 5 minimum and the average is almost 8, Wolf is the most eclectic/outlier (lonely wolf?) with just 1 overlap at Princes. Most often mentioned course is Queens Park (reasonable given the Q) followed by Hankley Common and Sunningdale in joint second. K is the only letter where they are ALL different (and for this row everyone has put in a course too).

may wanna recheck wolf. Most of us in Kent play Upchurch ??
 
Pitiful attempt... thought I'd be able to find a few more... 8 missing :(( However, have had great fun playing these... and loads of duplicate letters (Is Royal Dornoch an R or a D) Could I have put Portrush in without the Royal etc ;)

Good distraction for 20 mins... thanks to whoever started the thread!
