Hopefully somewhere in the south of France in February - Saint Endreol or Terre Blanche.
Definitely a few in the Highlands late May - Dornoch, Tain, Brora, Golspie plus Moray Old and one of the two Nairn courses.
Threads like these will keep me going in the golfing close season which is nearly upon me!

As relatively new to playing seriously I am looking forward to playing some of the other courses in Leicestershire (only played on four so far). In particular Glen Gorse, The Leicestershire, Market Harborough and Lingdale.
Any other suggestions in the East Midlands?

Broadstone in a league match. One of my favourites and will get to play it for free.
5 courses in Belek in March including the Monty.

Dundonald again as I've not played it for a few years. Going back to Ireland in september for a week and think of playing Rosses Point again which is a superb course, Enniscrone and possibly Carne.

Are you a member at a course? Which 4 have you played?
Courses can be very subjective, but I really like Kirby Muxloe. Melton is worth a visit, especially if you're a club member somewhere they do opens for £15 or £20.
Birstall is also very nice.
My place (Beedles Lake) I like but then I'm biased. Greens are great through winter, never on temporaries and always off proper tees.
I've not played as many in Leicestershire as I'd have liked either so there'll be plenty more worth a visit. Cosby and Longcliffe I've heard good things about, but I guess it depends on what you like in a course.

I am a member at Kibworth and have played Kilworth Springs, Ullesthorpe and Park Hill. Mine is quite a tight tree lined course where the others played were more open, but more penal rough and longer. Beadles Lake is another I want to try next year, I have taken the kids to play on the par 3 a few times.
Perhaps we can host each other for a game next year.

Well worth a trip to Longcliffe and cross over the boarder to play Luffenham Heath as well. Further north, Coxmoor is an excellent track, often overlooked due to being close to Sherwood Forest, another fab course.

Royal St George's in February, then because next years "Scottish trip" is to Cornwall, Trevose & St Enedoc (plus any ofhers recommended ??)

St Endreol is a nice course. Couple of belting holes off elevated tees. Played there in September. But it's got quite a bit of up and down, and some long trots between holes. I walked but would recommend a buggy.

Only one I have set in stone for next year so far is Muirfield on 1st March. It's always a pleasure though. Hopefully get the Old Course via the 48Hr ballot after we missed out in advanced ballot.

You'll love Whittington Heath James. I organised a forum meet there 5 or 6 years ago and it's a nice course, quite tough in places!!
When you are up that way if you get the chance, I recommend you to go and play at Beau Desert (if you haven't played it already).
It's an absolutely fantastic course, a real "hidden gem".

I have played Beau Desert, in the GM/Powerkaddy day. A lovely course, not necessarily suited to my wild driving. Much like Whittington I presume.
It's a huge shame about the greens being ruined by hooligans on quad bikes, they were fantastic as I recall.

You will be amazed how quickly they will recover so don't worry too much.
And yes, Whittington Heath is tight. A bit tighter than Beau if I remember correctly.
And severely punished if you stray off the cut stuff.

Good time to play Whittington Heath before they lose a few holes for HS2 that's going straight through the course.
