West Linton
Played it a few times and loved to each time I’ve went back what a finish back to back par3. Last is a monster as well!

I always throw Dunaverty into the mix since its a trek to get to - but WELL worth it.

Interesting.

Food for thought for my next trip ?

The Annesley links at RCD. Lovely little golf course within the links of RCD, same views, same turf, and hugely overlooked for its big brother. And cheap er.

The Valley course at Royal Portrush is the exact same. Brilliant course that is overlooked

Peterhead GC. Almost in Norway but well worth the trek if up playing Trump or Cruden Bay.

I'd nominate Reddish Vale

Hidden Gem is a phrase that gets thrown around and a lot of times courses that get named whilst they maybe gems aren’t really “hidden” as such

So what course would you call a hidden gem

I would go for somewhere like Weston Super Mare - when people look at courses in the SW it rarely gets mention but it’s a cracking course , real test with some great par 3’s

Had my eye on this.

It's a Mackenzie or Braid links track isn't it?

Cleeve Hill
Bamburgh Castle

Both with great views, great fun and some cracking holes.

Cleeve Hill is the first full course that I played

That looks absolutely superb.

Silverdale Golf Club in Morecambe Bay. I visited here whilst on holiday In the area. This course is one to think your way around with some quirky/interesting holes. The holes on the clubhouse side of the road are more challenging but all the more fun for it. The 13th in particular is undoubtedly their signature hole.

You know, I pass that regularly on my way to visit the Grandweans in Oban and always meant to give it a try. I have heard good reports so will make an effort next year.

Other cracking 9 holers are St Fillans and The Wee Course at Blairgowrie.

Comrie is beautiful

I've banged this drum on here before, but Kinghorn in south Fife is just fantastic fun.

Old Tom design, municipal offering for £15 or so. Unbelievable value and can fly round in 2.5 hours. Par 66 and short at that, but some tricky holes that you can get on the wrong side of.

I'd credit Kinghorn with getting into me golf, as I played it in April 2011 having not played golf for years (and never to a decent standard) and got the bug straight away.

Agree with Bamburgh and raise you Cavendish

Cavendish on my list to play and not to far from me here. Must get over to it, don't think I have ever heard a bad word about it. Thanks for the heads up.

Howley Hall, South Leeds..... I doubt many outsiders know of it.

Fantastic course, some really good holes on the course. Close to the motorway too. Ideal for golfers who travel.

Tobermory on Mull is a beauty - hard to focus on the golf given the views up there.

Another vote for Comrie - great golf and a really friendly welcome.

Do it in the middle of summer Darren once it dries out.

They do some great value opens.

Lovely course.

Must try and get to Comrie when I am up in Pitlochry next week.

Never played it in the winter time. Might be a bit squelchy!

Lovely course.

And it's perfect for vintage or hickory clubs.
