Best course played & why?

[Lucifer MorningStar]

The 1st is a par3 now and then you cross over the road .

In which case I definitely didn’t play it under the new routing. Might have to have a little break down that way at some point and give it another go, last time I played it was with my dad so would be nice to bring back those memories.

Wife comes from Suffolk and I lived there for a year and visited the relations quite a few times, so was lucky to play a lot of their courses and also Norfolk, never heard a bad word about Hunstanton, played a foursomes event with a mate and one of our partners was chap off z1 handicap who played soccer for Scotland, think his name was Ian Robertson, it was a fantastic day, 36 holes in glorious sunshine, never forget it.

Not been here very long have you? I'll leave it there, my thoughts are well known on here, and with anyone who asks, oh and a commitee member there.

Sorry to hear you have had problems there.....I can only say I never had a problem or many of my Sussex friends when they played there.

Hunstanton is a brilliant course and excellent club

Cf just didn’t like the car park

This was the place. Utter garbage, and right up themselves. Avoid like the plague. Top 100? Not even in my top 50. Shocking shocking place. Just about worth £25 to play. Pay anymore and you've been done. Utterly disgraceful.

Lucky enough to have played a number of top courses this year. Really enjoyed Blackmoor for the first time at the H4H day, loved both courses at Sunningdale 2 weeks before the Seniors Open. That stretch on the Old from 3-10 is just glorious wherever you look.

But without a shadow of doubt the best course, best experience, best everything that wasn't score(!) is Royal St. George's. Wow. just phenomenal from the moment I got out of my car, never stopped smiling. the course, the clubhouse, the history. Everything was absolutely fantastic. Coming away from Sunningdale I was chuffed to have done it and been. Coming out of RSG I couldn't wait to go back, and I'm already trying to work out when to do so again!

I’ve not played any of the England Open venues but I would love to play RSG.

Thanks for the link the old thread - before I joined, hadn't seen it before - very entertaining.
I note the green fee has gone from £90 to £175 in 6 years.
They don't appear to have a seniors open for £35 or less, so I won't ever be going there.
6th October 2026, seniors individual open - £100 I will be able to keep in my pocket. (Seaton Carew seniors individual open £40 in May 2026)

The car park at "Hunston"

 

[IanM]

There are cars parked in the car park? Gadzooks!

Never mind the increase in price since 2019, look at how many folk in that post have left the forum.
