Best course in your county?

[moogie]

Don't forget the holes that were close/moved about. You'd think the amount of money they spent the drainage would be better.

Oh yes, forgot
Think played close house colt 1st week April
New course, few years old, couple thousand per year fees, or £110 green fee
They had 2 holes shortened, and 1 hole closed......!!

Poor drainage, which for a new course is quite criminal, especially the type of money available and spent up there....

I think Northumberland is really lacking compared to other counties.

I'd have to say Goswick or Slayley but only because nothing really challenges them.

Maybe Graham is watching the pennies?

Think you're spot on there mate
The county of northumberland defenitely lacks in quality
Couple of stand outs
The rest are very much all on same type of level

Wiltshire - bowood or maybe cumberwell for the facility's. Although both are at times almost unplayable in the winter.

Marlborough?

Playing Rotherham in a few weeks. Any tips?

Keep it on the short stuff, don't try to boom it, enjoyable track

I can't believe there's not more shouts for lindrick. We played moor town 2 -3 months ago, in my humble , unknowledgable opinion, not in the same league as lindrick.

TBH first time I played it, wasn't overly impressed but it does grow on you, great from back tees. Loved Lindrick though greens were like glass the last time we played it

 

[vig]

Surely Lindrick is in Notts (with the exception of one green which is in Derbyshire).

I know it has a Sheffield postcode but like Worksop it is a Nottinghamshire course, isn't it?

We're claiming it. Nearer to me than a lot of courses I've played in yorks

Dont feel experienced enough to make a proper judgment on Northumberland/Durham.

Although with Close House new course being £100 a game for visitors I fail to see how it CANNOT be the best course in that County.

Certainly not Goswick,played it a few times (and very well once) theres no doubting its a top course,but the best? NO CHANCE.

Rockcliffe a nice track. Beast from the blacks

A fair few to choose from in Hertfordshire - The Grove, Brocket Hall Palmerston, West Herts, The Shire, Ashridge, Berkhamstead, Moor Park and The Centurion.

Have you played it before? I've heard there quite a change with a lot of trees removed. I really liked it but haven't played it for a good few years. They have a 36 hole open on Sunday but it clashes with a comp at mine or I'd have played it.

No it's the 1st time I've played it so couldn't comment on the trees.

It was in lovely condition especially around the greens,there wasn't much rough really just relied on the trees as the main punishment on wayward shots. This made a nice change from my club which decides to use both!
