3 wood at most on 18th, the bunkers and water are reachable.Lay up for the par 4/5 on the 14th IIRC, don't go in the bunkers below the green.The last 3-4 holes are the best and the 18 th offers great views. better than the Nicklaus, IMHO - just hope the greens are in good nick, as not always so.

This. You don't really need to hit your driver that often was the main thing I remember. I much prefer it to the Niklaus and the last 3 in particular are the best 3 holes on the complex (as well as probably the dog left left hole infront of the Country House on the Niklaus course)....just my opinion.

Cheers matey appreciate it :thup:
Weather has been ideal our way this week so hopefully should be playing good.

Played it at the end of May with Huds and Bluewolf. It was in good nick and the rough was penal.
Hybrid or fairway wood off the tee is the order of the day. Last 3 / 4 holes are great. 18th is no more than a 6 iron then a pw, but it looks longer.....

Played Strathaven today, was very impressed with the course. In immaculate condition and the green were top notch, extremely quick and ran true.
Will definitely be back for another round.

Good course if we have a decent run of weather, becomes a bog if any rain at all.
average muni condition.
First couple of holes quite short and boring but gets much better after the 4th, and in places gets quite tight.
Much better course off the whites.
Not the nicest clubhouse but really nice friendly staff.
For the price well worth a game.
P.s. Is on the Gatwick flight path so there is constant noise from the planes.
I wont bore everyone on here but if you want a hole by hole run down pm me.

It wasn't, but I changed my entry late last week after deciding it's a bit more relaxed playing with you old people
Also entered the Porters Park mid am, I really enjoyed their course last year.

Up the coast a few miles to play Kilspindie for the first time this coming Saturday in an Invitational Texas Scramble. Only heard nice things about it, so looking forward to seeing for myself.

Bang on with this matey, I hit a 5 wood off the last and left myself a nice 80 yard shot in, we had a sneaky little drive to see if we could reach it but just left it in the water! 15-18 were great, favourite out of them was the par 3 17th. Got a few photos so will try and upload them.
Unfortunately they'd hollow tined the greens, they weren't the worst but certainly not the best.
Would definitely pay the £25 they were asking for.
Much better than the Nicklaus and a much harder test!

The conversation is easier. You can talk about the same crap in the afternoon as you did in the morning as we've generally forgot by then!

Just back from playing Woodhall Spa both courses for the first time
The Bracken is a great second course , some tricky holes with big undulating greens - was tough to get used to the pace but it's own right it's a good course
The Hotchkin was wonderful - every hole was visually lovely and played brilliantly - loved every minute of it , the fairways were like carpets , greens were true - the bunkers are amazing all so natural - I couldn't stop smiling as I walked around playing it - already can't wait to go back and it's prob now my favourite inland course.

Thinking about playing Dalmahoy West on Thursday night. Heard it's short but tricky. Anyone played there?
