Hardest course I've ever played in my life.....2 rounds=2 reductions only. It's beautiful though.

I got the joy of hacking up The Dukes and Marquis on Friday with a lunch to be had in between. Never played Woburn, so Should be fun.

Heading to Girton, just north of Cambridge on Monday.
At 6000 yards it's just my kind of course,. Hopefully ca get round in under 100

Played two new courses recently and forgot to add to the thread.Longcliffe near Loughborough.Open team comp,
£22.50 each and worth every penny, it really is a lovely course, shame the heavens opened from the 5th and the back 9 was unplayable but we did complete our round, would I go back?A 100% yes and I may organise a forum meet as some point there.
2nd course Whittington Heath last week.Open comp £35 each inc 2 course meal, now that was value for money, what a shame that HS2 will be going straight through it and the course will change forever.
Really nice heathland course although it played like a parkland course due the amount of rain we have had.
Really enjoyed it.Some pictures below.

Apparently they have their own Amens corner?

Now that's a bit Twilight Zone. Living up in Lancashire the East Midlands isn't an area I get to very often....then two consecutive posts mention the only two courses I have played in the whole of the area!!
Thought both were excellent btw.

Yeah, quite a decent course that has gone under the radar, although we only paid £20 on tee off times.
Quite marshy in places (not the fairways) but would go back again. Seems to bet set amongst millionaires row houses.

Nice one mate, always fancied playing it but never got round to it!
Managed to get it for nothing with AG free round voucher!

What a superb course, in perfect condition despite the recent rain, lovely true greens, they make such a difference compared to the slow bumpy scabby ones im used to.
36 points with a bird on one of the early par 5's and a few pars as well. came 4th, 1 more point would have been = 2nd
Best feature was the lack of stupid length rough, so when one of us went off the fairway, it was easy to find the ball, so we didnt lose any time looking for balls,
Lovely clubhouse, good food .
Just wish it was on my doorstep rather than 54 miles away
