Not so great if you are looking for history and culture which was originally mentioned. Good for ‘lively’ nightlife though.

Maybe you could provide some reviews and feedback for all the trips you’ve been on? You regularly post questions on this forum asking for advice, I’m sure you have lots of experience to share.

With forums i find 3 types of people
One reads through
One creates reviews
One asks advice
Im not too good at reviewing , but happy to take opinions and reviews
Being part of the forums doesnt mean i have to leave a review, as do 70 percent of members
Correct, but it helps others in the same way you are looking for advice. It makes the forum better if the advice and review pool is deeper.
This thread alone helps people, as it gets others talking about places to go to, places we may not have thought about before. By adding your review, it makes it even more useful

You’ve been on lots of holidays to Europe I’m sure.
In your own words, you’re happy to take opinions and advice, not prepared to give. That doesn’t enrich the forum does it?

I must admit that I don’t leave reviews but I am quite happy to give advice when required/requested.

I'm afraid I have no idea about the golf but would agree with an earlier suggestion that Bordeaux is a lovely city to visit.
I have done (and do) lots of European city breaks and Bordeaux is in my 'top five' (alongside Stockholm, Porto, Cologne and Dubrovnik if you're interested

Please note that unfortunately there is a rather steep drop off in quality from the few top courses in NL to those that the rest of us play on. It's to do with our landscape and golf history. Great courses are Kennemer, Noordwijk, Royal Hague, De Pan, Roosendaelsche (and a few more). Each is a private members club but I believe all offer green fee slots to visitors but please don't take my word for it. I've played Kennemer, Roosensdaelsche and Noordwijk and prefer the latter but all are truly top tier courses. There are some really fancy newer courses too: Bernardus and The International, Links Valley spring to mind. But they're not my personal cup of tea. Finally, there are a whole lot of flattish parkland style courses with lots of water (and mud).

not what i said
im happy to answer any questions on any trips i have been on, and happy to give any advise if asked…
why are you trying to cause an argument?
if i am allowed to put questions up, and not give reviews ( which is what i believe is the case ) , then mind your own business
hiw many people briwse trip advisor for info , yet never make a review?

It’s not my forum, and I’m not trying to tell you what you are allowed to do, just making a sensible suggestion which might help you and the whole community in the long run.
This is not Tripadvisor. If everyone said “Im not too good at reviewing , but happy to take opinions and reviews” then the forum would die.

Go to Alicante mate - mentioned earlier in the thread - folk have been living there for 7000 years, flights are cheap, great city, lots of architecture, nice beaches, good weather, cheap beer and food, good courses in the vicinity.
Did you know.... Spain was a muslim country for 800 years, and so words that begin with Al, are usually derived from the Arabic language, with the Al - translating as "The", in the case of Alicante - "The Radiant"
There you go, as well as winding everybody up over LIV golf I can also bring a little culture to the forum...

I was looking into a Czech golf trip. There are some good older courses (Karlovy Vary and Royal Marianske), and some impressive looking Championship courses. You could stay in a Spa town like Karlsbad, or in Prague. Hope to go one day.
