Unless Turnberry Hotel is owned by the Council, I'd say it's not a Muni.
Carnoustie is a Muni complex - but in the St Andrews Courses category
I think the thread is about 'normal' Munis.

Meyrick Park and Southampton are no longer council owned or run, they have been sold to companies like Mytime golf. So a further complication.
So to keep it easy, shall we just consider any course that isn't private members or proprietary as a public/municipal/trust/whatever as long as Joe Public can book a time on it?

The Darley ( as long as you don't want niceties like rakes for bunkers, and on some occasions that I've played it, flagsticks, and can avoid the dog s errrr jobbies).

Meyrick Park in Bournemouth is the one that immediately springs to mind. Closer to home for me would be Belfairs near Southend & also Hainault Forest where I played alot of my early golf.
I totally agree and don't understand the hurrah over the Troon courses.
Is Ballochmyle cooncil?

Doon isn't alone, I also have absolutely no desire to play TOC either it just doesn't appeal to me.
I don't even know the best muni's I've played as so many near me are now owned by companies like Mytime or private owned cash cows..
Could easily name the worst though...... Also owned by Mytime it'd have to be Ruxley Park

Greenock Whinhill is a nice course.
In impeccable condition too.

Ballochmyle is private mate, and quite nice.
Forgot about Routenburn, haven't played it in donkeys years but it used to be good with some great views.

Camperdown Park in Dundee is acracking course and tough as old boots, a much better course than its neighbour Downfield.

Played Thorp Wood in Peterborough a couple of weeks ago, layout ok but the greens were awful, far worse than our winter greens.

A few years back I went to a meeting at a 'trust' course.
On the entry gate was a sign that should have said 'Proudly managed by {your guess} Trust.
Some wag had crossed out managed and inserted ruined....militant golfers always make me smile.

My track is rather good and worth a few hours of your time, anyone wanting a game give me a shout and I will sort it.
Nairn Dunbar is not a municipal.
