Most overrated golf course you have played.....

The Grove

And in regards Links courses - once you play a decent one you will understand the beauty of them
 
Some of these answers regarding links courses reminds me of conversations I have had with red wine lovers. If anyone says they don't like them then it is just because they haven't tried the right one. No, it's not. They wont let it go. I'm with Beezerk on this. It doesn't mean that we think links courses are bad, it's just that they are not attractive to us and there are thousands of parkland courses we would rather play ahead of them.

Links lovers, red wine lovers, you need to accept that there are people out there who don't share your tastes. Deal with it.

Just like some peoples view on cuffed golf trousers I suppose. Deal with it 😋

Hang on.. You don't like Red Wine and Links Golf Courses? Maybe you just haven't tried the right golf forum yet ;)
 
I've played Dunstanburgh and Silloth that I recall, walked around a few others including Troon and Royal Birkdale. They just bore the nuts off me.

Exactly the same could be said for Parkland courses that have almost identical conditions for every round! Links courses have different conditions every round - even/especially on the same day! And many throw in 'curve-balls' of random 'odd' bounces that can test how a player reacts to/recovers from unexpected results! I'm a fan of links (style) courses!

I'm not really fussed about differing conditions, if it looks bland to the eye then I won't go back.

We'll have to arrange a meet at Seaton Carew GC, the Nuclear Power Station and the Council tip views could never be described as bland :rofl:
 
Lol I bottled playing there last year cos I heard the bunkers are above head height 😅
Only some😃, it's a superb course, gis a shout if you fancy giving it a go.
 
Wow, what an amazing video - you're right we all need a trip to Ireland !

We are planning on a return to Ballyliffin next year for an Irish forum meet and will hopefully include at least one other Donegal links course so keep your eyes open in the new year once we get some prices and dates confirmed.

I love links, heathland, parkland, moorland etc and would argue that every course has differing conditions at different times of day, and on different days, not just links courses.
Swirling winds at the foot of a valley in amongst the trees for example.
