Wiltshire does seem a bit of a golfing wilderness - Played Bowood earlier this year - and it was fine. Played High Post yonks ago and really enjoyed that - no idea what it's like today.

...and if had maybe another 1000yds (yes quite!) Pitlochry would have to be up there in Perthshire. But unfortunately it's only 5500. Still a majestic track mind. One of my favourites anywhere.

And if I can make a claim for my 'home' county of Renfrewshire...East Renfrewshire perhaps?

We are not blessed in Essex. The best is probaly Abridge but theres really not a stand out course in the area.

Played Northamptonshire County Course on sunday - thats the best course in that county - what a cracking course.
Has the look of North Hants about it

That's a tough one, lots to choose from
I would go for Royal Birkdale from the ones I have played. Think ive played most of the major courses apart from Royal Lytham.
Hillside takes some beating ..............EYG

Sorry but the Nottinghanshire is League 2 compared to Premier League Sherwood & Hollinwell (also Coxmoor).

Tough call, but I'd have to opt for the county town of Suffolk for the best all round course. Ipswich Golf Club (aka Purdis Heath)

When was the last time you played Parkstone , Broadstone cant hold a candle to Parkstone for all round condition , as a test of golf then Broadstone may edge it but it has that silly hole the 7th that really lets it down and its down to the eye after that , I played Broadstone in april and it was not good , they say its much better now , only heard that from members not visitors , mind you if was in the worse condition i have ever seen it so anything since then is a step in the right direction ................EYG
I was amazed to read this review the other day from McCann who is their big wig reviewer.
Different course to the one I remembered 20 years ago abviously......I'd have given is a 2.5/3 baller then.....

Lancashire.
Royal Birkdale if Southport is in it, although I've never played it.
Royal Lytham if not, closely followed by Hillside of the ones I've played.

Played it in the Nike - beaten on the last hole by a 12 HC who played like a god that day.
Some cracking holes

Membership or green fee?
When I asked was told membership had a wait list plus a hefty join fee and green fees we were quoted almost £100 as visitors if we wanted to return, no concessions at all
they do an open later in the year for about £30 that Im planning on trying to play
Edit: theres a pairs open for £32 a head 1st October if you fancy a bash at it?

Yeah that sounds a cracking idea - will check my work rota and let you know on Wed
The fees are around 1500 - waiting list is reduced a lot
