Best Course You Played This Year

[Crawfy]

Gleneagles PGA... not for the course itself but because it was the last day that public and members were allowed to play before the Ryder Cup lockdown. The stands were up along withe signage. Teeing off at the first was nerve wracking even though it was empty...although a couple of scaffolders cheered me when I holed a putt later in the round. I doffed my cap for a laugh

The Hotchkin is always a treat. Good thing I know a guy....

I've had a good year, highlights include, Swinley Forest, East at Wentworth, Dukes and Marquess at Woburn. Also played San Roque Old, Finca Cortesin, La Reserva and Aloha over is Spain.

The greens at Finca Cortesin were incredible, so that probably gets my vote.

Toss up between Beau Desert and Sherwood Forest. Would liked to have played latter in similar conditions and same time of year and same tees. But as I played BD in better climes I'll opt for BD, but have a sneaky feeling SF would be better.

In an odd coincidence they are my top two as well. Went to Beau Desert in the height of summer, it is a lovely course, but Sherwood Forest which I played last week at 4 degrees in 20mph winds is my number 1.

I'm going to say Southern Dunes in Florida, good course, in great condition, with good company and a great welcome.

In this country the Old Course at my new club Gog Magog, a bit biased I know but I still smile very time I walk to the first tee.

Heard good old things about it too but still not had chance to play it! Maybe next year?

This year's Scottish trip had some great courses. Top three,

North Berwick
Gullane No1
Gleneagles PGA

In that order.

But enjoyed all 11 courses we played

Pinehurst No 2 was better I thought , the others there are not bad either :fore:

I first said Bearwood Lakes then I remembered I'd also played Royal Dornoch,Castle Stuart, Hillside(again), Blairgowrie, Conwy but it's a tight toss up between Dornoch , Bearwood and Castle Stuart.

I'll go for Castle Stuart at this precise moment but I reserve the right to change my mind in the next couple of hours

The heavy downpour didnt dampen your opinion on Castle stuart :rofl: I think Castle stuart justs pips it for me too but close on the heels are dornoch thehotchkin and hillside are bareley behind. I need to play the hotchkin again in the height of summer as i can only see the experience getting better.

Probably Royal Cinque Ports for me, despite playing it like a complete chomper. Lucky enough to play 36 at Walton Heath & The Berkshire most years, but RCP probably just edged it.

A toss-up between Cuddington and North Hangs on H4H weekend.
Probably enjoyed Cuddington more as I played better - and the Breakfast and Lunch were immense!!

Very flattering Imurg, thank you; after an invite back?

Some nice trips planned then ?

Im looking forward to Royal County Down and Royal Liverpool :thup:

Also hope to go back to RCp and then play Royal St Georges

I've spent most of the year telling everyone how much I enjoyed Wallasey but I think Royal Cinque Ports has pipped it right at the end of the year for favourite course of the year. RCP really was that good, not surprised to see that others from last week are choosing it as well. Certainly it's between those two, they're the two courses that really blew me away despite having played in the forum events at Burnham & Berrow, Hillside and North Hants.

Just confirmed tonight for Royal Birkdale, 1 payment to come in and it will be booked.

Currently have committed to a few before the season starts, Alwoodley, Formby, Nairn, the Hotchkin all which I've never played before, Glasgow Gailes and Hillside also in that list but played both already.

I've a few bob forked out now I think on it :rofl:
