Overated - Said it before, say it again. Carnoustie. Just didn't get it

 

[Crow]

Toughest - Bull Bay, some narrow fairways, blind shots, raised greens, lots of trouble, and it was blowing a strong one.

Best Greens - The only time I remember green quality is if they're bad so no comment.

Overall Condition - The Berkshire

Most Enjoyable - Swinley Forest, one glorious hole after another and a treat on the eye.

Best - Swinley Forest

Notable Mention - Angelsey, rough round the edges but a golf course how I imagine they used to be, great fun.

Played quite a few top courses this year including 4 Open rota ones. Great courses on the forum Aberdeen trip.

Toughest Royal Lytham Keep your ball out of the bunkers and it's straightforward but there are 190 of them.

Best greens Probably Ferndown when I played county champs there.

Overall condition Fancourt Links, there wasn't a blade of grass out of place.

Most enjoyable Despite the weather, I thoroughly enjoyed my game at Murcar with Merv79, Scouser and DaveMc0.1

Best Choice between Lytham and Fancourt I think. Leaning towards Lytham as I shot 4 over off the back tees

Notable mention Bognor Regis, just a humble little members club but always good fun to play.

I didn't realise golf had become so inclusive. Smaller steps up onto the teeing areas and lower bar heights - fantastic to hear.

The course overlooks Butlins, guess that means even chavs can play the game!

I've never been excuded before. Does it smart?

Word I am thinking off certainly goes well after smart.

 

[backwoodsman]

Didn't play too many courses this year so ...

Toughest: St Mellion Nicklaus. Was just brutal. A fraction off the fairway and you're dead

Best Greens - None spring to mind so I'll say my place - they are always good

Overall Condition - St Enodoc (Would have been Royal St George's but half the bunkers were not in play

Most Enjoyable - Royal St George's (despite the company... )

Overall Best - Royal St George's

Notable Mention - Thumeries-Montchaux in France. Got my first ever eagle there - 5 points after one hole. Normally takes half a dozen to get that many)
