Best Course You Played This Year

Played some lovely courses this year - but the one I absolutely rated is the Valley (Rathmore) at Royal Portrush, wonderful layout

A fantastic course David, i could quite easily play there for the rest of my days. Ive played it numerous times and every time i play it it just gets better and its a snip at £40
 
Woodhall Spa, Hotchkin course. Played a university match there in pretty poor conditions back in March. Constant rain and about 10mph wind.

However, it was free and a round I won't forget.
 
Not much of choice for me this year: either Milford, Hayling, Hindhead, Welsh National. Vote goes to Hayling as the Welsh was during a rain storm and the other two I know like the back of my left sac.

That's you blackballed from the next Hayling meet then :whistle:
 
I trust you realise that St Mellion also used to be a Potato Farm! :rofl:

Seems quite a common 'previous use' for many Golf courses! :whistle:

The difference being, st Mellon is better now than in its previous agricultural incarnation. The same can't be said of the other 2 :o

I honestly don't understand the view of many on the 2010. Played it 5 times and it is fantastic IMO. Chalk and cheese compared to some I admit and you could not get much more different from a traditional links course for instance, but so much to rave about I really don't get the large amount of negative stuff.

I don't think I saw it at its best, but it was a boring slog. I'd go back, but to see it at its best you've got to fork out £160 and it's not worth that IMO. I'd rather play the monty @ Celtic manor:o
 
It's not been a great year for me course-wise so the best has to be Blackmoor. I know, I know, voting for your own course is a bit lame but it does take some beating :thup:
