Castle Rock
St Andrews Old Course

Best has to be Ballybunion , fantastic , stand on the 11th box , view is something else

course I want to play has to be Royal County Down
Playing Hillside in May , look forward to that

 

[HomerJSimpson]

St Andrews, Bude, Princes, Royal North Devon. That's about it. Love the challenge but rarely get the opportunity

 

[BTatHome]

Hayling island and Princes .... that's it.

Love Hayling, but Princes felt much better to me (probably just because I scored better) ... Given a choice I would join a links course, just it's a much harder test and love the shot making required.

Wallasey is the best links course in Britian - FACT

 

[User20205]

Good post, I love a bit of links !! I've played, in no particular order

Princes, littlestone, hayling, St enodoc, Trevose, saunton east & west, RND, burnham & berrow, royal porthcawl.

My favourite is saunton east, but I've a soft spot for hayling because it's close, st enodoc because it's mental, and royal porthcawl!!

Played too many to list really and like all sorts for different reasons....

Best courses for me Hillside, Silloth, Gullane 1&2, New Course, North Berwick

Best experience, by a distance, Old Course

Hardest course, Royal Lytham.

Most fun Links, Caldy, Gullane 3 and The Glen

To many to list as loads on my doorstep,but out of the ones you've played love Castlerock and stayed a week in Dunfanaghy and played it every day a great wee holiday course that doesn't get much coverage due to being so close to Rosapenna ,the 9th and 10th holes are crackers.

I know.
I often stop in my car on the bridge overlooking St Annes Old Links and watch a few holes. I do know a couple of members. We arranged a round last year that we had to cancel due to the weather.

Maybe this year!!
