As with a lot of things in life, you get what you pay for, and as such I wouldn't expect any 'top' quality golf course to charge less than £50.
I could pay £42 to play the course most local to me - Hoebridge, would I rather pay an extra £30 and play a west hill/Woking/worplesdon? Every day of the week

Its a far better way than taking into account "ambience" and "menu".
Ladybank is nice.

Played the isle of purbeck last year and looked at it, thinking of trying to get down that way this year and play purbeck, broadstone and remedy oak

Uhhh invite please?
It is, I need to go back there, it would be nice to play it in much better weather conditions than I experienced last time, the fine driving icy rain in 35 mph plus winds was no fun, almost impossible to hit anything on the outward 9, the captain afterwards said to me it was borderline being closed as it was a galeforce not a strong wind! I always look at the pictures and scenic views of it which always look stunning but unfortunately that day it was everything to stay standing upright so it wasn't a round for sightseeing
I ive played Ladybank a few times we go there every other year as part of my groups autumn jolly, restaurant staff are always a bit surely, but that wouldn't stop me playing it, its a good course

Played Ladybank a few times myself. Lovely course. Much better than Downfield.

The 50 quid one would be like a best of normal little members clubs.
No pretentiousness. Just classic little golf courses.

Played Downfield in May, it was saturated. Nice enough layout but condition was not great. Would agree its not a patch on Ladybank although I suspect I'm missing something with your

It would be an idea if your signature gave us a clue as to where this was.

I don't believe you will be disappointed! Best cure for the hangover after playing Kingsbarns and TOC and a session (with caddie) in the Dunvegan!
Joined a couple of very sociable members on the 10th and scored my 2nd Eagle - again looking in the long grass at the back of the green before checking the hole! They also managed to anticipate the nasties from the caravan site beside about 15 - something I wouldn't have otherwise known about! Not sure if it's still there, but it seems another 'quirk' of quite a few Scottish courses!

Nothing meant by the
, just had something in my eye For a course that's ranked so highly, I just found Downfield a bit "meh". Maybe it's because my formative years were spent on a Heath & Heather course that I prefer them?
I found Downfield boring if I'm honest, a few "nice" holes, but nothing to write home about. Sure it's long (off the whites) but never having been a big hitter I've always come away from courses that have length as their main defence a little disappointed.
If I were going back to Scotland for a weeks golf and were staying in that area, Ladybank would deffo go on my itinerary.

I thought Ladybank was superb but it's not a patch on Blairgowrie.
Although I could agree with Siloth topping that list, some of the positions are not indicative to the quality of the course

Scotscraig is a lovely course. Great greens.

Agree. Loved Blairgowrie, and amazed it is not ranked in the GM top 100.
