Is there a course you would never tire of playing?

[Deleted Member 1156]

Having read the thread about number of rounds played each year by some people, it made me think how many rounds before I would get bored with a course.

So is there any course you would never get tired of playing if you were playing it 150+ times a year every year?

The Royal Norwich GC - Home Club. Wouldnt continue to play there if I couldn't play it each week!

Thorpeness - Played it in November, itching to go back! Absolutely loved it!

Off to play WoodHall Spa for the first time in March.....going on what I've been told that may be added to the list too!

RCD is decent enough that Id play it regularly.

Blackmoor 👍

North Berwick West Links

I could never ever get bored of that place.

Never played an away course often enough to find out. There are courses I love but is part of that because of the novelty? It becomes different if you are playing a medal round week after week. Best answer for me would be Knaresborough but that is with the proviso given.

Both of the courses at Sunningdale I would imagine would keep me happy for a long time.

I don't think I'd get bored of Hankley Common

 

[MendieGK]

Wolf Creek or Notts or Woodhall Spa

despite the fact Sunningdale and Swinley are better IMO, the lack of length would frustrate me at times, whereas Notts and Woodhall have so many tee options you could play the course differently all the time

To be honest this is one of the prerequisites for me joining a club.
I play most of my golf at my club and it needs to be able to hold my interest at least twice a week 40/45weeks of the year..

Sure, if money was no object then a Sunningdale/Hankley/Swinley would work but, realistically, The Zoo works too...

Heritage Golf Club in Mauritius. What a place, what a golf course.

Of those ive been a member of for a decent length of time I tired of Enfield and definitely tired of AVGC, the one I didnt was Studley Wood, albeit that was when it was more a sleepy members club than the very busy proprietary one it is now.

Think i could happily have played the 2 courses at Brocket Hall (where dad was) on a regular basis (especially with the practise facilities on offer)

Be interesting to see where i put to the test next, but im the sort who likes to change after a while

I never tire of playing my own. Not the toughest or most varied, scenic or challenging in the world - but it has sufficient about it to make every round a new experience. Every round there will be a moment when I stand back and gaze at the course or the view, and think to myself 'you are one fortunate fella to be a member of this place'. Hopefully I will never stop feeling fortunate and expressing my gratitude to whom I must give thanks.

I’ve played some cracking courses and plenty that I could play happily on a regular basis but I think even the greatest courses must lose some of their allure if you play them as often as in the OP.

My thoughts exactly :thup:

+1 for North Berwick, really wish I lived closer so I could at least attempt to be a member.

 

[drewster]

Hardelot - Les Pins .... i'd love to play there every day.

Very nice indeed..! I stayed and played there 2 years ago and loved it

Yes and no - I played a lot at Wentworth and the answer that came from that was that if they were 'great courses' you didn't really tire of them!

If what you are suggesting is that some of the so called great courses don't stand up to that rating once you have unlimited access....then I would tend to agree!

Of the Wentworth courses my distinct preference was the East, but guests mainly wanted to play the West.

I've been playing matches for my current club with many other clubs for nearly a decade now, and whilst I started off as focused on the away fixtures without regard for the underlying courses I now find myself being more selective and preferring home fixtures!

Guess I joined the right club...

Birkdale for me.

The course is great but the weather makes it a different course each time you play it.

Some courses yu can play on auto-pilot - not Birkdale.
