[PaulyMcK]

Got a 3 Ball booked on The Dukes (St Andrews) next Saturday seen as my course is closed at 1pm.

Really looking forward to it.

Update again as we have chucks a few new ones in

All new courses to me this year.

West Lancs (Thought it was brilliant)
Royal North Devon (Never again)
Saunton East & West (Brilliant, Best 36 hole venue I have played till Sunningdale I suspect and I was right)
Kidderminster (Played The Oxforshire instead and thoroughly enjoyed that)
St Mellion (Top 3 in the toughest courses I have played)

Woodbridge
Ipswich both to arrange for next year as it didn't work out.

Wallasey very very underrated, excellent course.
Delamere lovely course is a lovely setting.
Sandiway very tidy and very well presented.
Cuddington excellent members club, lovely place to play golf.
Sunningdale New & Old No need to say a word.
New Zealand cracking
Swinley Forest again no need to say anything.

St Andrews, New & Eden & Jubilee and strathtyrum what a place
castle course was very good and I have no idea why the drama about the greens.
Scotscraig will arrange at some point when we can get a date with Steve
Ladybank moved to next year as we did the following this weekend instead.

leven links well worth the £25 we paid.
St Andrews Old course, what can you say about the home of golf, amazing day, amazing place.
St Michaels, again its next to St Andrews but what a lovely members club, the back 9 has some excellent holes.

And still left to do in 2017

Blackwell
Manchester
Royal County Down
Royal Portrush
Ballyliffin Glashedy & Old
Castlerock

Its been a very average year for golf

Jesus Glyn, hats off to you this year as you've put the miles in. You should be a top 100 assessor, your putting the effort in

Has anyone played Nefyn as it looks stunning. I haven't gone to far to play so far so just asking if it would be worth the trip. I'm in Surrey

Most people I know who have played it enjoyed it but felt underwhelmed

Wanted to play their open until I found out they don't play it over the peninsula, which lets be honest is the reason everyone goes there!

Even with the peninsula I've never heard anyone raving about it.

Between now and the end of October I am playing

Burhill
Parkstone
West Hill
Sherwood Forest
Alwoodley
Moortown
The Island
Portmanock

Only Burhill is outside the top 100 and all bar Parkstone and West Hill are new courses for me.

Played Williamwood a couple of weeks ago for the first time and Glenbervie today.

Currently only Marriot St Pierre on the "new courses to play" list for the rest of the year.

I will be interested to hear what you think of Alwoodley and Moortown Gordon.

Fairly poor course that imo

 

[FairwayDodger]

Ooh! A late entry to my new courses list. Mrs FD has kindly booked me a round at kingsbarns for my birthday! Very excited since that's been high up my bucket list for some time.

 

[Green Bay Hacker]

Fairly poor course that imo

I quite enjoyed it. Pretty tight with most holes being tree lined so you have to be reasonably straight off the tee. There are a few blind tee shots as well which I am not a big fan of but the last hole (also blind over water), I thought was a beauty with the green protected by an overhanging tree and a pond.

Looks like I'll be adding Bearwood Lakes to my list at some point

 

[patricks148]

payed 3 new ones in our Autumn jolly last week.

Fofar
Edzell
Brechin

Enjoyed Forfar, other two not so much Edzell seemed like every tee shot was blind

 

[Dan2501]

This time in 3 days I'll be hacking it around here:

Bit excited.
