Best Course You Played This Year

[bernix]

played so many great courses this year that it's very hard to pick one. in alphabetical order
Alcanada, Brora, Nairn, Royal Dornoch, The Jubilee Course

surprise: The Eden Course, disappointment: Leven Links and PulaGolf (both not in best condition)

Toss up between Royal Dornoch, and Royal Aberdeen and possibly Western Gailes but over 18 holes Royal Dornoch probably edges it.

The front 9 at Royal Aberdeen really has to be played to be appreciated, it really is a stunning 9 holes.

Honourable mentions to Hillside, Castle Stuart and Little Aston

Course wise it would be liphook or royal cinque ports. Condition wise definitely Parkestone. The place has vastly improved over the last 3 years.

by far the best course I played this year was The V Club in Lithuania - stunning course with lots of water and the best greens I have ever played on. They were quick and true but receptive to the point that I got a 3 wood to stop dead!
I am planning a return trip soon and will take my own clubs rather than hire some!

Two usa courses in Florida:

Championsgate International- Quality tough course designed like a British links type course with plenty of bramble and water to deal with, good greens and lovely florida sun to go with it

Grande Pines - A nice American parkland type course with cracking greens, lovely scenery and superb course layout.


Both courses were cheap as chips and included lunch, buggy and a friendly welcome for less than £30 each!

oh sorry one more for the list:

Muckhart - Nice course in the hills of Scotland with one of the best views I have experienced playing golf of the Scottish mountains. Nice course too and the round was even more enjoyable as was playing with my brother and friends

Aint played it this year but I love Grande Pines, cracking layout and tough as old boots.

I agree Val but bad news is that the course is closing in March! Marriot have sold the land for a few $m and will be turned into condo's!

Was really gutted to hear this but money talks

Royal Liverpool, by far and away the best greens I've ever played on.

Plus a nod towards Silloth as well, cracking track and pound for pound the best value golf I've ever played.

Well, obviously if you are on this forum. We don't have any short hitters on here

Yeah , a lot on here talk a good game , some even say they are cat 1 , i hit it with little effort and i dont really care too much about how i do anymore , just enjoy playing

 

[FairwayDodger]

Probably Carnoustie for me. Best new (to me) course was Royal Dornoch.

 

[Hacker Khan]

Played some very average golf around some great courses this year. Think a joint number 1 of The Blue Monster at Doral and The Rosemount at Blairgowrie. As both do what they are intending to do to an extremely high standard.

Wow, that one's a bit out of left field! Where in Lithuania is it? I've been to Kaunas and loved it.

The old course for me had some quality days out but a trip to st Andrews takes some beating.

 

[need_my_wedge]

Belle Dune would have been a contender but they had just top dressed the greens when we played it in September. Is it easy to get a round at Sunningdale?

Played in a society day - breakfast on arrival, 18 on the Old Course, 3 course carvery lunch, 18 on the New Course, sandwiches, all for a whopping £200, great day out.

 

[AmandaJR]

Toss up between the Dukes or Duchess at Woburn and can't really decide which...closely (very closely!) followed by The Wandlebury at Gogs.

 

[richart]

No contest Sunningdale New. Royal Cinque Ports was the best links.

 

[moogie]

Played Silloth for the 1st time this year, and I'd say that was the best course I played this year for sure


I also played the Colt course at Close House.......but wasn't overly impressed

 

[Deleted member 18121]

Marquess - Woburn.

 

[One Planer]

Forest of Arden - Arden Course by a country mile.

 

[pbrown7582]

Is it easy to get a round at Sunningdale?
