Course recommendations for Big Birthday

[PhilTheFragger]

My carer is looking to get me a game for my 60th birthday which is in December, probably a voucher for use later in the year

I’m bashing my brains out trying to think of a course that i’d like to play, but haven’t yet

In thinking top course, England possibly into wales
poss Celtic Manor

Throw some ideas at me, done the Swinley’s and Sunningdales, West Hill, Liphook,
Tandridge might be an option

One of the Norfolk links courses? I think Hobbit speaks highly of at least one of them.
Silloth? (purely selfish as I'd want to join you)

 

[ColchesterFC]

Cromer and Sheringham both good courses or are you looking for something more upmarket than that? I loved The Grove when I played it a couple of years ago. Royal Norwich is also good after the recent remodel - although a bit pricey.

Ganton, Hunstanton, RSG, The Grove, Centurion, there's a long list Phil

You have family on the wirral right ? How about a Wallasey and Hoylake double header ???

 

[IanM]

Celtic Manor isn't good enough for a 60th birthday trip.

If Wales, how about Porthcawl or Aberdovey? Or Pennard or Ashburnham?

Wirral suggestion above is good shout. The there's Birkdale!!

Depends on which you haven't played

St Georges Hill would be a great option (not played there, but looks amazing and worthy of a big birthday)

Or, The Old Course

Broadstone or Parkstone if you haven’t been there already.

St Georges Hill would be a great option (not played there, but looks amazing and worthy of a big birthday)

Or, The Old Course

I had some business at a house on the St George’s Hill estate recently and the whole place just oozes class. The course looks stunning - a cross between Wentworth and Sunningdale.

I believe it comes in at about £190 a round IF (and it’s a big if) you can get a tee time.

Broadstone & Parkstone is a great call
Maybe Remedy Oak too

Stay at Aberdovey (and play there) and get the train from Aberdovey to Harlech for the day. Will be relatively cheap for what you get and two world-class links

Broadstone & Parkstone is a great call

and Ferndown.

Broadstone is tough, but Parkstone would be my choice for you. Remedy Oak would be my fourth choice in the area. Double header Parkstone and Ferndown.

Royal St George's ?? With Royal Cinque Ports?

Royal Ascot obviously, better green's than Wentworth?

 

[Bratty]

St. George's Hill is my favourite course in the UK. I love it. Go play it if you haven't.

Courses that have impressed me are Woking, (possibly the best manicured course I have ever played), Beau Desert, Bearwood Lakes, Royal St Davids, St Georges Hill, Broadstone, Parkstone to name just a few.
Tandridge is okay, but not in the quality of those above, and I wouldn't rush back to either Remedy Oak or Celtic Manor.
My biggest regret was missing out on the Sunningdale trip a year or two ago.
My wife bought me a twoball ticket at West Sussex for my 60th. Played it with Richart. Was disappointed (with the course, not Richart)....

Played a few good tracks this year, would recommend many of them, not necessarily in this order, all stunning courses in their own right.

Broadstone
Woking
Bearwood Lakes
Pennard - played it 2 days ago, fabulous track
Gleneagles Queens (twighlight ticket is a bargain)
Nairn
Royal Dornoch

Not Remedy Oak. Good in parts, horrible in other parts.

36 at The Berkshire, Sandwich/RCP, St Enedoc, Saunton ….

 

[Smiffy]

Forgot about the Berkshire. 36 around there would be a great day out ??

Walton Heath 36?
