I had high hopes at the start of this year to play a lot more new courses, but what with the new job and playing crap all year never really got around to it.

The ones I did manage were;

Machrihanish Dunes
Machrihanish old
Montrose Medal
Goswick
Kingussie
Newburgh on ythan


Nowhere near as many as I’d hoped
 
Not much in the way of new courses for me, but did get a round at Ipswich, Purdis Heath... lovely track.

Also playing at Hanbury Manor in a few weeks so really looking forward to that.
 
Played quite a few new ones

Kinross - Montgomerie
Kinross - Bbruce
King James VI
King's Acre
Thornton
Drumoig

Also got Bunkered tickets for Machrihanish Dunes and The Carrick to play, but not sure whether we'll get there

Bad year for me this year, only played two new courses, Cardronna and Brampton.

Had everything arranged to play my 100th course on my 50th birthday, but alas my knee injury scuppered that one.
 
Ballyliffin Glashedy Links
Ballyliffin Old Links
Castlerock

I did play a few others again this year (Ardglass, Royal Belfast, Clandeboye Ava, Clandeboye Dufferin amongst a few others)
 
Forgot about The Grove. Only 9 holes, but they were very nice.

Oh and I forgot about Murph's place,West Herts, too. Not sure how I forgot that! Great food and a lovely track.
 
After thinking about this I've played more than I remember: (Some local courses)

The Belfry x 6
Rudding Park
Oulton Hall
Wooley Park
Low laithes
Willow Valley
Bradley Park

Hopefully a couple more before the year is out too.
 
I didn't think I had played at many new courses this year, was surprised at the length of the list:

Hernando Oaks, Brooksville, FL
World Woods - Pine Barrens course, Brooksville, FL
World Woods - Rolling Oaks course, Brooksville, FL
Lake Jovita - South course, Dade City, FL
Plantation Palms, Land O'Lakes, FL
TPC Tampa Bay, Lutz, FL

Burhill - Old course
Chartham Park
Sunningdale - New Course
The Berkshire - Blue
The Berkshire - Red
East Brighton
Basingstoke GC
Meon Valley
Hanbury Manor
The Nottinghamshire
Worksop
 
Sadly I haven't played on one single new course this year, plenty of re visits to some great tracks but not one new one.
