I agree, I can't believe someone has mentioned St Andrews Dukes as a bottom course, as much as it's a personal opinion i just find that notion absurd unless all you have played is 5 courses and all in St Andrews.

Jees I forgot all about that one and think I've played it too
Didn't it have an honesty box for the green fee?
Yes it did - and it was almost impossible to get your money back out of the box after the end of your round.

Martin wouldn't that be 9 courses in St Andrews and 9 would be Fairmont
Only said 5 as the thread suggests bottom 5.
And im sure St Andrews has 10 courses

Played loads that I "wouldn't rush back to" but not many that I out and out wouldn't play again. I tend not to slag courses unless I feel I'm getting poor value. A local muni while working away for <£20 and I'll be happy just to be out there and probably less disappointed if it's not in great nick etc than playing a so called "prestige" course with say lots of work going on, poor bunkers, temp greens etc. All usually more to do with the timing of the visit than the general situation.

I quite enjoyed the Dukes although played it in February, I think, so conditions weren't ideal. Would certainly play it again but would try to stay out of the bunkers next time!

New Malton Golf Club is the worst I've ever played at. Used to play there occasionally about 10 years ago and it was pretty decent, then they just let it go to hell and its condition is terrible. After the last visit I vowed I'd never go back again. In short a muddy field.

Seems like I'm not alone. I'm sure a couple of regulars on here are/used to be members, would love to know what happened to the place. Cambridge isn't blessed with many good courses.

I haven't played it for a few years but have played it 2 or 3 times, always enjoyed it. We all thought it a good course and a decent test.
The longer one they have the Seniors event on... Torrence? we played off the very back tee's 7200. there were some very weird holes around the hotel.
I suppose i shouldn't complain it was free, but i certainly would not pay anything like what they are asking, not with the new and the Jubilee on offer.
Id quite like to play it, but always end up with on Links courses for some reason

How dare you!! That is a golf course of legends, where many great golfers from the south have started their careers! for a muni its not bad at all (or never used to be) considerably better the Crookhorn!!
I think your just jealous because the county sevens team always beat hayling!!
The highlight for me was the burger van in the carpark behind the 8th(?) green
Agree. Perranporth is so much fun to play! :thup:

In fairness, I think if you have your pick of courses in St Andrews it's probably not at the top of the list. I'd play it again but there are other courses there I'd go back to first.

Surely not! I've always liked Crookhorn and found it a good test.

Excellent course (although the drainage is ropey) and a very good test of ability but it is frequented / packed by people who seem only interested in clattering the ball into the next county and dont have the ability to play the game.

No matter how poor the course I generally come off it with one good idea.
I remember being very impressed with the litter bins at Laleham

Around the hotel the holes aren't the best but across the road towards the cliff edge there are some good holes there
