Recommended courses to play

[Philbleasy]

Hi it’s my 50th next year and was wondering if any of you guys can recommend some courses worth playing. Obviously there are the main courses that come out top every year on the best 100 etc so was thinking something not so obvious that is worth playing.

Where are you based?
Not to recommend courses in that area, but not ones 'the other end of the country'.

North west England but happy to travel

Ganton & Moortown and Moortown & Alwoodley are offering a 2 round, one night offer that are worth looking at. All 3 are lovely courses and a combination of any 2 is well worth it. Also, likely to be within 2hours of the NW so well located.

If you are happy to spend more then a trip to Gleneagles is pretty tasty. Stay in the hotel for a real treat or just play golf there and stay down the road in The Duchally Estate to keep costs down a little.

If the above are all still too obvious then please advise and I will try next level down

Very nice ideas, I actually think I may have access to play Gleneagles through a friend

The Yorkshire courses are definitely worth a few days. I would also recommend Silloth in Cumbria. Could also play Southerness, round the corner in Scotland, or Seascale or Windermere.

Hard to beat that! Kings/Queens there are special. Blairgowrie isn't too far away if you really want to go ott!

Thanks, hope I can play a couple of the Gleneagles courses in one visit through the friend makes it a bit more of a special trip

Played Silloth a few times, love it but fancy somewhere I haven’t played

It depends on budget but Trump Turnberry do some excellent deals if staying in the hotel.

Love turnberry played both courses but not since they where changed

If willing to travel to Norfolk I would suggest Royal West Norfolk (Brancaster) and just down the road is Hunstanton a real gem.

BTW, Trump rate for summer is £395 for a round on the Ailsa.

Highly recommend coming up to East Lothian.

Plenty great courses and many like Dunbar (twilight especially), Gullane 2 & 3, Kilspindie. Would say (don't mean to offend) that North Berwick West and Gullane 1 are overpriced.

Goswick by Berwick is superb too.
You can get a package of Dunbar, Goswick and the Roxburghe through the clubs for an excellent price.

Didn't know this, thanks for posting ?

In South Wales there's obviously Porthcawl, but add Southerndown and Pyle & Kenfig to that for a trip.

Higher up a tour involving Harlech and Aberdovey would hit the spot too

Price has gone up, like everywhere else!

what's your budget?
Ayrshire offers some amazing golf. Prestwick, Royal Troon etc etc, but if you are on a budget the South Ayrshire Golf pass is great value. Golf Packages | Golf South Ayrshire

Thanks guys, may have access to play Royal Troon, Gleneagles and Royal Birkdale
