I travelled down to Streamsong resort which is about an hour and half from Disney and played the Red course last year. Every aspect of it was amazing. I would definitely recommend it, 3 courses to choose from now too.

Royal Cinque Ports this year on the Kent meet was the toughest day I've ever had on a golf course - the weather conditions made it absolutely brutal; so much so that the tea and snickers bar I had in the half-way hut would rank as one of the most welcome 'meals' I've ever had (and I've had a few.......!!!!
Perversely though it was also one of the most fun.........the golf that is not the tea and Snickers!!
It cant have been that hard, me and Fish both got 35 points.
Mine was better on countback though.:whoo:
That Thracian cliffs looks damn hard.

"that'' day at Southerness was something else.
I'd happily have a go at that exact day again and again just for the challenge of it. I'd say I would be better equipped to handle it now. I played better golf that day and scored far worse than I did at silloth.
Tight courses get me although some links days I just freeze up and steer it around. The fear of the rough and instant lost balls gets me much more tense than a pile of trees on a parkland.

All on a calm day then Royal Lytham definitely the toughest (off the back/Open tees)
In the winds that I've played them Silloth, Hoylake, West Lancs and Southerness have been absolutely horrificoo:

That was pretty funny, as I had two courses in mind as I went through the thread - and then you posted this right at the end!
West Lancs and Silloth are the two hardest I have played.

Every time I have tried to play Sawgrass it has been closed for maintenance or remodelling. Definitely on the list though!

Royal Birkdale, knee length rough 2 yards from the edge of the green was hell.
St Mellion, very very tough course and very underated.
Carnoustie was tough but when we played it the rough wasn't that bad, I dread to think how tough it is when the rough is up.
West Lancs, again the rough wasn't that bad but it's a brute.
Hotchkin course, even though I play it loads I don't forget what a tough course it is.

Mablethorpe crazy golf.
It wasn't the windmill hole that killed the card, or the Z bend, it was the half pipe with the hole on the apex.

Isle of purbeck for me is just tough and I never played well around there

Is this thread about toughest course or toughest weather? Any course can become impossible in the worst of weather!
Toughest I have played is probably Southerness. Played a few times and always found it extremely difficult. A superb course though.
Carnoustie is fine except for the last few holes that are just stupid!

I think that 18 is a brilliant hole. 16th is alright, tough par three and 17 is strategic. Certainly not stupid in my opinion. Each to their own.

Sometimes wonder if, given similar weather (wind) can certain parkland courses play even harder than the tough as nails links?
After all, presumably links course are generally 'designed' with strong prevailing winds in mind
Not sure how say, St.Mellion, would even be playable on a day like today
* not bashing links as it's my favourite style by far, and I know how hard it can be... just throwing it out there for healthy debate
