Best Course you have played?

[Davey S2]

For best read most enjoyable.

The biggest 'name' course I have played is probably Royal St Georges but truth be told I'm not a massive fan of links golf (I know, I know burn the heretic!).

Most enjoyable for me was probably either The Rolls of Monmouth or St Georges Hill.

Best..... Royal County Down

Most enjoyable...... The Georgian just outside Atlanta. Slopey greens measuring 13 on the stimp, you could blow on your ball and it would roll 10 feet oo:

I bet. Did you hit the green on 17?

Old Course St.Andrews and then close behind, Turnberry, Cruden Bay, Carnoustie and Pyrford. Then a lot of others and then a long long gap to Lydd.

Valderrama for me, Carnoustie my fav in the British Isles

Forfar, just a simple old fashioned golf course in excellent condition, 'if Carlsberg did golf courses'.

Marbella Golf & Country Club: manicured, stunning condition, great views and plenty of fantastic holes with no 2 holes the same.

San Lorenzo in the Algarve

Old Course Vilamoura

Vale Royal Abbey - wow

I bet. Did you hit the green on 17?

Yes, pitched in right in the middle and it rolled a little toward the edge, kind of a oh sheeite moment.
My mate wasn't so fortunate and was on 7 off the tee before he gave up and just blobbed it...

 

[wookie]

St Georges Hill for me.

 

[hangover]

Royal Birkdale, Truly amazing

I'm also an old fashioned links lover.

Machrihanish and Western Gailes float my boat. Of the newer links I love Dundonald and Machrihanish Dunes, both great tests of golf and nice lay outs.

Inland I love Toads place (Blairgowrie) Spey Valley and Boat of Garten.

Enjoyed my day at Walton Heath, very nice track as well.

I am not old fashioned, and i like Kingsbarns

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Best Muirfield
R/u Turnberry Ailsa

Most enjoyable Sunningdale Old.

 

[granters]

Dundonald. Love the place,tough as nuts challenge,but a truly superb mix of holes. Tied 20th in the open on sunday with a 91 nett 86! Off the black tees,they're moving them forward for senior open qualifier next week. Was beyond the limit of amateur golf but so enjoyable. I played out if my skin too. Nett 77 win,best scratch was 78. Fastest greens I've ever seen,gives you a realisation of how well the pros hit greens and putt

Last year I played the Old Course, but it felt too much like I was on a conveyor belt to enjoy it and look around.

I have great memories of playing many many rounds on Dufftown as a kid on holidays at my aunts, but to be honest the course isn't special being on the side of a hill.

not sure if I could actually pick a favourite, a lot have special places for differing reasons.

saying that I play Trump next month so it should in theory go to the top as it is the best in the world by all accounts (trump PR anyway).

Old Course St Andrews, best and most enjoyable.

Mentions though for Saunton East, Swinley, St Georges Hill, West Hill, Hankley Common and Broadstone.

Think I must like links and heathland courses, but if I had to choose a parkland course it would be Bearwood Lakes.

Formby for me,,,,,,
