Links Courses

I have played it a fair bit and the greens were probably the best they have been when I have. We had 78 and probably left another 4-5 out there with missed putts without gaining a bonus but 92!!!!! Ok then.

Drive4show - did you play with chaps from broom manor?

I certainly did....do you know them?

I've included some which some folk have considered not links but since others include them in theirs I've left them in. Including The Glen which I think is stretching a point? Given that most are in Scotland, I think its not a bad list for someone based in London

Very impressive indeed mate
 
I love Links golf but haven't played at that many courses. 30 maybe?

My top 5 in order are:

1. Royal County Down Championship Links
2. Turnberry Ailsa
3. Muirfield
4. Hillside
5. Macrihanish Old
6. Saunton East
7. Royal Troon
8. Formby
9. Southport & Ainsdale
10. Hunstanton

Royal County Down was the best by a long way.

Links Courses I most want to play: St Enodoc, Royal Dornoch, Royal St Georges, St Andrews Old, Royal Portrush, Lahinch, North Berwick, Western Gailes, Cruden Bay and Carnoustie.
