Courses you find dull and boring

It's hard because it's not fair. Hit the fairway, end up in the rough. hit the rough, end up in the fairway. Awful. Just like most of the courses around Swindon.

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.

Horses for courses I guess but it just didn't knock my socks off.
Here's the link, it's actually listed as 18th. I still can't figure out why.

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.

I think that was it. The ones on the sea-side of the road were so dull I lost interest.
 
One I don't enjoy and find long and uninspiring is Tylney Park and lo my club captain has picked me for the club match there on Saturday. That said its three or four years since my last visit and so it may have improved and I'll go there in a positive and open mindset

I agree there are some awful courses around Swindon, but I certainly wouldn't call Ogbourne dull. It's a good test, some tough holes, topped with great views and the wind to contend with. Dull and boring it certainly isn't IMVHO. Of course that doesn't mean people won't hate it!

Played Tylney Park last year and overall enjoyed it

Can't even agree that it's 18th in the lothians. No way it's better than duddingston, for example.

Point taken, I was really referring roughly speaking to the 99th in Scotland number. Duddingston seems out of place on that list going by what I've heard, should be up around Mortonhall territory.
 
The Wensum course at Wensum Valley is particularly dull in my opinion. It's long for longs sake just to give it a "championship" tag. Likewise , sorry Swanny, but i've never found The Essex particularly interesting or appealing.
 
I've played many courses that I wouldn't pay full whack on, but never, ever played a game on a course I wouldn't return to for free or at a discount.

I'd probably enjoy playing golf on a council football pitch if they put 18 holes on it though.

My course at Girton, Cambridge is a bit bland with no standout holes, upside is its 5 mins away.

Love links courses btw.

I was a little disappointed by Girton. It has a good first few holes but after that nothing... 18 was nice though.

I would rather go to Lakeside Lodge than Girton.
 
whats the course where the Titleist fitting centre is? the was such a bad golf course, i went home after 9 holes.
