Chislehurst. Website reckons it’s a Harry Colt design. It must have been a 4.45 on a Friday job!

maybe they ordered a Harry Colt design on aliexpress

 

[Banchory Buddha]

If Mersey Valley was one, that's still going.

+ Alder Root

[Bdill93]

I cant imagine anyone here playing my home course and thinking wow... so add it to the list

Bargain for the price though!

 

[Banchory Buddha]

I went past Old Musselburgh once and noted there was a car (minus wheels) in one of the bunkers on its 5th! Not that OM would be anywhere close to a 'worst' candidate!
A couple of courses that popped up as converted farmland that I played when working in Warrington were pretty dire. Probably not golf courses anymore though.

Alder Root? Mersey Valley? Fiddlers Ferry?

 

[Fade and Die]

Portlethen
Craibstone
Spey Valley
Cardrona
Rowany
Peterculter

That's quite a list of nice courses, what did you find wrong with them? I think playing the back 9 at Spey valley was one of my best memories of a Highland golf trip a few years ago.

The local 9 holer to me in Poulton is one of the fields with flags variety, coupled with terrible drainage and no (that i can remember) interesting holes to speak of.

Played it once and, despite it being a 5 minute stroll from my house, won't be bothering again.

Total assumption and often totally wrong!

Total assumption; snobbish; in the case of 'my' course, totally wong!

Not sure how you can say opinion is totally wrong, but then again I’m not sure how you can get away with your ‘horrific’ use !!!!! (Of) punctuation.
make sure those goats don’t nibble a hole in your wife beater ?

Alder Root? Mersey Valley? Fiddlers Ferry?

That name rings a bell. Large barn type building at/near the entrance. I don't recognise the other names.

I’ve noticed there’s a real habit on this forum of just cutting & pasting stuff from google. How odd. Doesn’t really make a convincing argument

Well, providing 'backup' from legitimate sources seems, to me, rather more convincing than your recent twaddle!
But that's simply my opinion, so by your peculiar (my opinion again) logic must be true!
Btw. Do you think that Earth is flat? There are certainly some who do. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_flat_Earth_beliefs#International_Flat_Earth_Research_Society)
So one group must be wrong!

I’ve ‘observed’ your (work) before. You are very odd.

Again, your opinion - which you are entitled to. But the value of 'your opinion' to me is rapidly reducing. Kindly desist from insults!

Is odd an insult? Not my intention, just an observation

I'll add Horton Park near Epsom. Always in poor condition, five hour rounds, little or no etiquette from other golfers, and a host of other issues I've had with it over the years

Lydd. Soulless goat track. Winner by a mile.

We didn't think it was that bad, they do a lovely breakfast!

We went on a Saturday so supposedly busy especially as they had a comp on. When we got there around 7.30am there were 6 cars in the car park and 4 of them were ours. We played and didn't see a soul on the course until we were on the back nine. Got back in around 1.00 and no hot food available. Course planners were hand drawn and photo copied and stapled together

You did well, we never got a course planner!
