Best course in your county?

[Swingalot]

The London Club - Kent

Lots of very good links courses I'm sure some would put ahead of The London, but not for me.

 

[Fyldewhite]

Of those I've played (most over the years)......

Within the real geographical county of Lancashire - Hillside
Within the administrative boundary of Lancashire County Council) - St Annes Old Links

Incidentally, my own club is in Blackpool (Unitary Authority) and I pass a sign on the way erected by LCC saying "Thank you for visiting Lancashire - Drive carefully"..........barmy.

If you're counting my county as London then the best course I've played is Shooters Hill, if I'm going as Kent the best course I've played is Littlestone!

Nairn, there's only two courses in Nairnshire

For me it's Sherwood Forest in Notts over Hollinwell. Bit controversial as Hollinwell always is higher in the lists mags produce, but hey ho. But some of this is probably down the the fact that I've never played that well at Hollinwell and played very well (for me) when I played Sherwood Forest.

And in Lincs it's the Hotchkin at Woodhall Spa. Although I don't think I've played any others in Lincs. But any other answer is wrong.

Lincolnshire, has to be Woodhall Spa, although Torksey is a good track.
Nottinghamshire is Sherwood Forest.
Yorkshire (west) for me is Moortown
East is Hornsea
South is Hallamshire.

Played The Buckinghamshire which is great, as for Southport area, take your pick, there all good.

Cheshire,
I think Sandiway just edges Delamere but would not argue about it.
Great to have two top courses so near to each other.

Cheshire - Delamere

Wash your mouth out

Twas Lancashire when the course was built etc.

Just because the Scousers have since nicked it (fancy that ) makes no odds to me :rofl:

Nor me pal :thup:

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Berkshire. Where do you begin. I would suggest, The Berkshire and Swinley Forest for starters of those I've played. Right on the border is Wentworth and Sunningdale (prefer the latter although enjoyed the Ediburgh at Wentworth).

 

[Spear-Chucker]

Impossible to pick one. Hunstanton, Brancaster, Cromer and Sheringham will all always be favourites - on a sunny day there's nowhere better.

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Ayrshire......Trumpberry Ailsa

 

[dontfancythisputt]

On the Nottingham/Derby boarder

Derbyshire: Kedleston as you say but I do enjoy the moorland course at Breadsall when the rough is up and the wind is blowing
Nottingham: Sherwood and Notts (when both in peak condition) equal for me but the Nottinghamshire is now becoming a cracking venue when looking at the whole package - no I'm not a member.

In Lincolnshire you have to say Woodhall Spa though I like Seacroft and Belton Park where I play as well as my old course Stoke Rochford

Dorset is my home county. Best courses are Broadstone, Parkstone, Ferndown, Remedy Oak and Isle of Purbeck.

Broadstone is the best test of golf by a clear margin.

Ayrshire. Loads of cracking courses in this neck of the woods, spoilt for choice around here, but I suppose it would be the two Open venues Turnberry and Troon that were out in front.

You've got Dundonald, Barassie, Gailes (Glasgow & Western), Bogside, West Kilbride as well; and that's just quickly off the top of my head. Great place for golf around here.

I live in Sussex and the best course is The West Sussex at Pulborough, closely followed by Rye.

I have also lived in Yorkshire where the best course is Ganton, Surrey where the best course is Sunningdale Old and Hampshire where the best course is Liphook (sorry Gordon and Richard!).

Quite a good thread this.

The East Midlands i.e. Leics, Notts, Derbyshire is not blessed with too many great courses

Leics/Rutland: Luffenham Heath
Derbyshire: Kedleston Park, but then there is not too much to compare with.
Notts: Sherwood Forest, Hollinwell or Lindrick, take your pick.

 

[Snelly]

For those in Derbyshire, I would say that Cavendish is a very nice golf course. I don't know if it is better than Kedleston Park though as I have never heard of it, never mind played it.

Best in Notts is Hollinwell. No doubt.

Would not know where to start in Berkshire! but according to this site: http://www.top100golfcourses.co.uk/htmlsite/area.asp?id=186

my home course is in the top ten!

Bearwood lakes, Swinley Forest, Berkshire would be the first that i would say, but not played on any of them!
