Really tough one this, courses played this year not played before that spring to mind are;

Frilford Heath
Hotchkin
Sherwood Forest
Hillside

Now to attempt to put them in any order or pick just 1, I can't, as they all have different quality's and are all excellent courses.

Robin, is Sherwood Forest up with the Hotchkin and Hilside ? Thinking of playing there after Alwoodley, and that would be a good recommendation.

I don't think its right up there with the Hotchkin off the yellows although off the back whites it could be a different proposition. The Hotchkin does have more to offer in looks, but again, I'm sure when the straw is higher at SWF it takes on a completely different look, I really enjoyed it. I also don't think you can compare Hillside with it, a rolling links course against an inland heathland course is a bit chalk & cheese, you also only have to look at the variable costs of these 3 courses!

I have no hesitation returning to SWF and after Moortown it would be perfect for me also, especially if we can get the same deal at £35 that I had the other week :thup:

Well last year a lot of courses in our area were closed or partially closed a fair bit of the time, yours included I think. We were open, and the course was in good condition, no temp greens or tees. As a member you appreciate the condition all year, and personally I would rather be a member of a semi decent course that you can play all year, rather than perhaps a better course that suffers over the winter. It is the 'all year round' that is important to me, as I play as much in the winetr as the summer.

Oh and you have been blackballed already just in case you try applying for membership.

I agree with what you say and yes we did suffer badly last year. Hopefully with the drainage works we've now done things will improve even if we get a wet winter. I do agree that your course, being playable all year, as well as one that looks like yours it's a no brainer. I've a brown envelope (one careful owner - Sepp Blatter according to the address label) I'm sure will help revoke the black ball

Robin thanks for that. I wasn't looking at a comparison with the type of courses, more the overall quality. I rank heathland courses like Sunningdale up there with the top links courses.

Think we should definitely sort out a game at Sherwood Forest, if we have enough interested.:thup:
