Foxhills
Southern Dunes
Celebration
Legends at Orange Lake

Plus a return trip to RCD in June (no doubt my years highlight)

Never played Foxhills so will be interested as to how you get on there.
Celebration is decent, should be in good nick late May
Southern Dunes is one of the best in the area, you'll enjoy that, one of the few I always revisit every year in Florida.
Legends at Orange Lake was in poor condition when I last played it back one September but hopefully recovered now, it's a nice layout.

Both courses at foxhills are great. I prefer the Bernard hunt over the longcross.

hopefully going back again this as my client (londons air ambulance) have their charity golf day there

We're off to the Algarve in late May and are looking to play somewhere new.
The thinking was to go a little further west than before and look at Penina/Boavista/Palmares/Morgado area - any suggestions or recommendations?
We've done the Faldo & O'Connor and the Pestana courses (Gramacho, Alto, Pinta etc)

So far, just Royal St Georges for me and it was sublime.

A new one planned in and paid for - Croham Hurst.

Still to be arranged but provisionally planned: Tankersley, Alwoodley, Ganton, Ilkley, Sand Moor and Huddersfield.

croham hurst is a decent track. Played lots of golf there as most of my old cricket team mates are members there.
its got some seriously sloping greens and they are rapid in the summer

Just booked a trip to Ireland to play a few links in October, will probably chuck it down all week but hey ho. Will be playing:

Portmarnock
Portmarnock hotel
The Island
County Louth
The European

Also been in contact with Pat Ruddy who is a legendary Irish course designer and hoping to spend some time with him discussing courses over a pint of the black stuff.

I did the first 4 of those last year. All cracking courses and a real treat.

This year we're doing Wicklow, The European, Royal Dublin and Portmarnock hotel again as we'll be staying there the last two nights.

I'm doing a few new ones up your neck of the woods this year. I played Ferndown a couple of weeks ago in the mixed open. I also have Broadstone and Parkstone lined up later in the mixed opens.

As I didn't make the ballot for the Justin Rose Mid-Am @ North Hants, but still had the time booked off from work, I decided to give Notts (Hollinwell) a call on Sunday afternoon enquiring about availability on Monday morning.

So at 10.30 I played there for the first time. It was empty, I only saw one other group on the course, and it was stinking hot. So I took my time and enjoyed myself enormously.

Off the whites I shot 82, 10 over par whilst losing 3 balls as a result of not quite knowing how far to cut off doglegs etc. So 3 over standard scratch not too bad.
Whilst I enjoyed it, I don't quite think it's my favourite of the courses in Mansfield, I found Sherwood more to my tastes. Perhaps the heat affected my game a little.
But I will go back and do definitely recommend it.

Tomorrow afternoon I'm playing Radlett Park for the first time, with some friends. Quite a long one at 72 par, looks challenging.

In August my dad is booking a family stag golf trip for me, we're going to do that at Shendish Manor - next Friday we're having a round there just to see what the course is like before he finalises the booking, so that's another new course for me as well.
