Got a full week down in Cambridge with work. Myself and my colleague are planning on playing but haven't got a clue which course to head for.
Any recommendations?

The obvious one is Gog Magog, but at £55 a round midweek, isnt the cheapest, but it is a very nice course

Gogs - think Break 90 is a member so might be free for a game!
Saffron Walden is 30 minutes from Cambridge and a lovely course.

do you know where you are staying as getting across cambridge can be a pain and may dictate your options better
as Fragger says, Gog the best course in the area, other options would include the likes of Bourrne, Girton etc
Paddyc as good as anyone to ask as he tends to play most courses in the area regularly

Gogs, Newmarket or Royal Worlington as a treat[if you are well connected.]

Haven't played the course but from a distance Saffron Waldon looked very nice and the car park was always packed.

Gogs would still be first choice for me even though youre on the opposite side of town, from where you're based Girton probably the closest Brampton Park near Huntingdon also a decent option (Philly169 a member i think still) depending on what time of day youre trying to play

Is that the old Menzies Hotel? Has a course attached - not great but not that bad either, if a bit noisy from the A14. Girton is flat and dull imo, Bourn much more interesting. I used to be at Brampton Park and it's a good, challenging course.

Newmarket (Links) is a nice course and only 20 minutes.
Also St Ives (Hunts) - inland links and improving year on year.

Thetford, Gogs, Brampton all really good.
Bar Hill is ok, nothing special. Same for Girton.
Hey don grange is also OK.
Not done st Ives, bourne or Ely yet but hope to soon.
Wish I had some time left as I would have offered to host you at Cambridge Lakes

Royal Worlington & Newmarket (9 hole course) which was good, quite expensive iirc and a little bit unusual inland links feel about it.
Slightly further afield but I think still in Cambridgeshire is abbotsley golf course, which was nice.

If you are going to drive that far then better off carrying on another 10 mins to John O'Gaunt where there are 2 decent courses.
