You must be very hard to please. Ogbourne has some fantastic holes. Undulating greens, elevated tees, par 3's across valleys etc but because 4 holes are fairly samey it's "dull"? I must have simple tastes!

Good post.
Sure I recall a GM feature where one GM staffer had very much this view - looking for a challenge in every course, and another GM staffer had a more uncompromising view.

I had a proper hole in one there, on the 4th hole.
Do you agree with Louise about childwall?

A hole in one is a hole in one.......
She makes some relevant points but there are worse about than child wall. It's too flat though.

WIth my type of hole in one, shouldn't it be a half?

Woolton is the worst private course in Liverpool. glorified muni.
Its too short and holes seem to be on top of one another. not my kind of course at all. decent hole or two but not my cuppa at all.

The Belfry. Dull as ditchwater. I also found Walton Heath very dull which I appreciate is bordering on the blasphemous.
Links golf? Heaven.

Ogbourne should be filled in and flattened. Its the one golf course that i would probably rather stay at home than go and play. awful golf course

Really? Played it a few times now and enjoyed it every time. Few holes that are up and down but generally find it pretty varied.

Rhos-on-Sea in North Wales, very flat, nothing really exciting about the entire course.
Royal Musselburgh. I played this earlier this year and was totally underwhelmed by it. I have no idea how it got to 19th in the Top 100 Scottish courses as, apart from the impressive clubhouse, it really didn't do a lot for me.
I terms of the style of course, I would put Parkland courses as my least favourite.

Hesketh.
Perhaps not helped by the quality of its neighbours.

I'd have to disagree, even though I'm not a fan of it mainly over the road holes, the holes around the clubhouse are good.
It's certainly not a £80 track.

Strange - I've played there a couple of times and definitely would't put it in the 'dull and boring' category of this thread. Nor is is anywhere near number 19 in Scotland - doubt it would make the top 50. Don't know which list had it as 19th but that's way out.
