The De Vere Carrick...if it wasn't on the banks of Loch Lomond it would not command the fees it presently does
Most overrated golf course you have played.....

Why would they make the 9th a par 3? That's probably the best hole on the course!

Burnham and Berrow for me, a few folk told me it was the best links course in England. It wasn't.

Isle of Purbeck. Great views, but the course is disappointing, and not been in great condition whenever I have played.

Royal St Davids (Harlech) for me.
Played it about 6 times. It's a tough course but in my opinion it's too flat and uninteresting. I've also never seen the sun whilst I've been on the course during those six rounds. That might have a bearing on my decision.

I knew you'd bite quickly :rofl:
Del I think you maybe got me to a tee
All joking aside Machrihanish is as good a links track I've played even if I didnt played my best.
Over rated, got to be the PGA centenary at Gleneagles, the 4th best course in Auchterarder.

The problem with Isle of Purbeck is that it is on land controlled by Natural England or some other such organisation so they are very limited to what fertilisers etc they can put on the course. Hence it is always in a very 'natural' condition rather than manicured like we are used to at other top courses. Pity really because the layout and views are fantastic.

Got to be moortown for me ex Ryder cup and future open qualifying course nothing to look at really boring par 3 10th only hole really stood out rest were bland and boring also seem to get punished for a decent drive

I thought it was great personally and the 18th in particular was a great final hole. Think the Brabazon does it for me nowhere near worth the money

If your basing it on the "top 100 golf courses" - Lundin links. The first few were good and 2-3 of the holes on the upper "shelf" of the course. Apart from that though lots of the holes were too samey.

Trees cut down since when? Yes it is flat I will grant you, I like flat courses though if they have some nice scenery and if it is well maintained which Moortown was when I played it.

I played it last week and there has been dozens cut down from when I caddied at the Ryder cup centenary year event there
