Don't think you'll like it Gordon, but enjoy and hopefully the weather is kind (great 17th par 3)

Spot on Kenny, enjoyed it as a one-off with mates but certainly wouldn't want to be playing it week in, week out. The greens are ridiculous and there is too much luck involved for it to be a serious golf course.

Playing Castle Royle in a club match this morning.

Local course that I've never played and looking forward to it.

Heard it's a track for the big hitters so not exactly playing to my strengths - better develop a good short game pronto 😳

I told you that, but would you listen.:whistle:

I am playing it again in October, as we couldn't get on the New Course. I would have preferred to play the Jubilee twice.

Played West Surrey today and what a lovely course. So many beautiful and picturesque holes. Hope to be able to go back soon. A real gem.

A big up from me :thup:

Snap. We are playing it tomorrow though. Lots of the courses are being spiked at the moment so the choice is a bit limited. Playing Los Naranjos on Saturday so the better halves can go to Puerto Banus market and Santana on Saturday.

Nice. Let me know how you get on! We're flying out on Saturday and playing solid golf for 2 weeks. Start with Cabopino, then we're playing Calanova, Santa Clara, El Chaparral, La Quinta, a week at La Cala, Marbella and Torrequebrada. Seriously excited!

Likewise.

Glyn, not as many bunkers as you're accustomed too but you'll be able to forage in the trees, something you like doing. I'll let you know what the middle of the course looked like after.

We can always double up if it's gonna be that easy?

I really enjoyed it when we played, really nice parkland course and the greens were really soft but incredibly fast! You'll enjoy it :thup:
