I think you could almost put any links course in this category.Silloth in a bitter wind.
Wind and rain is no fun but seems to be worse on a links course.

I think that it depends how well you feel you are playing as, for me, all courses can be difficult if your golf is off, but, Royal Cinque Ports has been really tough for me, especially the back 9

Royal Lytham in July dry, hard and fast, pro said this would be as close to Open set up as you can get.
Faldo course at Belek is tough and West Lancs another

I read most of the way through the thread thinking "is no-one going to say the Nic at St Mellion"?
Brutal, just brutal. The only course where I've come off thinking "they really shouldn't have let me out on it"...

Aberdovey and Gullane No2 were very tough on the days i played them - really strong winds.
Closer to home - Bondhay is always difficult due to its length and narrowness of tree lined fairways. Hallamshire is also tough, particularly the back 9, and due to its exposed location is often wind affected.

I think my character may be flawed!Character building......
I love links golf but it’s not fond of me.

Southerness - 6566yds Par 69 SSS 73 & that's before the wind blows
I agree. Southerness is a seriously difficult course.

Another vote for Gullane #2, I don't recall it being particularly windy but the fairways were rock hard and greens like marble. The course ate me up and spat me out.

I simply found in the height of summer of my handicap it was unplayable in terms of being able to make a score anywhere near 36 points or net par so it doesn't register for me. Hillside was tough but playable. The Nicklaus wasn't and anything a fraction offline was overly penalised

Southerness for me too. I don’t actually think I’ve enjoyed a round there. Hitting a driver and worrying the balls is coming back to hit you is never fun

Royal Cinque Ports a few hours before the 'Beast from the East' arrived with a vengeance - worst conditions I've ever played in!! Never been so happy walking off an 18th green! ??
To be fair RCP always beats me up a bit, even when the conditions are good. Tough run in from the 12th.

Are you sure the gallons of beer the night before have nothing to do with it

This would be mine too. That course off the championship tees with a strong wind is a mighty test of golf.

Just on course alone, forgetting the weather, Welsh national for me. Long, tough and almost unreadable quick greens.
