Courses you'd like to play but haven't got round to it

[TheAlbatross]

Having moved down to Surrey (Surbiton) from Cardiff 18 months ago i find myself surrounded by world class golf courses - never had so much choice!
When flicking through the GM Top 100 courses published last month i was really excited at the prospect of playing some of the featured courses within 30 minutes’ drive from my front door.
Unfortunately, i just can't justify handing over £100 plus for a round of golf, that's providing you are allowed through the security gates and/or are fortunate enough to be invited by a member!

On my wish list this year would be:

A day at Sunningdale playing both the old and new courses
St George's Hill
The Berkshire
On my “pigs might fly list” would be:
Queenwood
The Wisley

My realistic list would be:

The Addington
West Hill
Royal Porthcawl
Pyle & Kenfig
Machynys

 

[FairwayDodger]

Loads of top courses on the wish list but courses that I've realistically intended to play but simply not got round to yet include...

Ladybank (I always seem to be on holiday when they hold their open)
Boat of Garten
Spey Valley
Nairn
Gullane #3
Blairgowrie

Gleneagles would be nice but maybe out of my price range!

Playing the old course, castle and new next year so that's 3 ticked off on my planner!


the other course I would like to play is Siloth, good reviews and not too expensive either

Nothing at all, personal choice. Just doesn't strike me as the sort of course to be at the top of someone's list.

I agree that it normally wouldnt top any list but I also know it's on LTW doorstep so very understandable

Gullane #3 is a course I've also not played so if you fancy a game there sometime let me know.

Yeah, sounds good. Plus will definitely get you on Craigielaw in the new year! :thup:

Good stuff, here's hoping winter is kind and we get out sooner rather than later in the new year

Really????

Had a minor brain fart, meant Western Gailes!

However, have had the pleasure of West Kilbride and thoroughly enjoyed it.

 

[Tongo]

I have fairly modest ambitions for courses that i hope to play!

Have been looking at Corhampton for a while now, will hopefully get round to playing there next year.

:rofl:

Western Gailes is too notch

 

[williamalex1]

Of all the courses in all the world that you fancy playing but haven't, you choose a 9holer wedged between a housing estate and industrial units in the middle of Cambuslang??

Are you mental??

Must be i suppose , I've played most other courses in my surrounding area except that one . I've also played over 100 courses in Scotland including a few that are in the top 100.

The question was "courses you'd like to play but haven't got round to" not the best or in the top 100 .

That makes a lot more sense

Fair play to you.

It just tickled the old funny bone when most people are quoting all these top end, exclusive and famous courses steeped in history - then you throw Cambuslang into the mix??

Im due to travel there next year in the team match (if I get picked), although I wont be too disappointed if I get dropped that week. Hope you enjoy it and play well when you do get a game, but dont be too worried if you forget your camera!

Sounds awesome. Please let us all know what the car park is like there.

I worked in Cambuslang many years ago and know exactly what you mean, but the course its self is said to be kept in good nick, and is only a 10 minute drive from Uddingston.:thup:
Where do you play ?.
