Must admit Sam I find it very dull tbh and very bland - but it's one of those type of golf courses that if you like modern layouts with man made lakes etc will enjoy it.

Yeah I'm a fan of modern stadium courses, but don't see how it can be seen as dull. Some of the holes are exceptional

Courses that go straight up and straight back down fairways.
Courses you can hit the ball wild off the tee and still have a shot at the green

Sorry just seen this.
To be fair I didn't find the Marquess dull and boring I believe I mentioned it was in a very poor state when we played it.
To be honest I was so angry with the condition I cant remember one hole so maybe it is dull and boring.
I disagree. I find a little samey and not that interesting. In good nick whenever I've been there but it's not a course that quickens my pulse

Must agree as a member of Burford, but I will say played Carswell last week and greens especially were a improvement to wot they were

Good to hear macca. To be fair robo took this thread off topic, on quality of greens not many will be close to Burford. But this was about "dull & boring", is that how you found last week?

So the Old Course in St Andrews then, aim as far left off the tee as you want and you'll be fine and have a shot to the green. And that goes for a lot of other links courses as well.

Does it? Might be trueish on several holes on the old course, it's been so long since I played it I don't remember, but I can't think of a single other links course I've played where that tactic will result in anything other than lots of lost balls and a massive score.
Agree, if you tried that tactic at any of the links courses up here, it would simple result in lots of lost balls.
in fact i can't think of a single links that this would work, apart from a few holes on the old course.

Wellshurst GC in Sussex.
Fairways like football pitches.

There's a lot of faults with Wellshurst but it's not particularly boring.
Overpriced and short - far too many short doglegs, but with some fantastic views.
Definitely played worse over the years.
There's a course on the A25 near Oxted. Was set up as a nice 9 holer and they squeezed a second nine in. Straight up and down parallel holes most of them.
You start off enjoying it and end up losing the will to live.
Ring any bells with anyone?
Certainly worked for me on many of the holes at St Andrews. That and laying up off the tee made the Old Course very easy to play.

Old Course very easy? Tell us your score then? I scored 82. I made a few tactical errors by putting the ball in the wrong place. Remember that you probably played off forward tees to keep things moving.
At 1 and 18 you can hit left but don't remember that being the case too often.

Any course with lots of blind tee shots .
76. A breezy day in April, down wind going out. I think the 9th is the first hole where the safe line is to the right. There's plenty of course guides that say safe left, tiger line right. And coming back in, as you know, there's OOB down the right. The only bunker I visited was Hell bunker, after flushing the lay up.
