I think that's from the very back tee Gordon. If I remember correctly the pond has always been there.

Woodhall Spa Hotchkin is one of those courses I could play day in day out and never bored and if I did there is another fantastic course to play too. Never had the pleasure of St Mellion though s can't really compare the 2.

Yes, the 12th Gordon. The first time I went there was only around 4-5 years ago but it was there then. I can't remember where they put the yellow tees though but I 'thought' I'd teed off over it at least once.
As for me saying it's my favourite... probably best to ignore my opinion as I must be a bit of a weirdo! I've played around a dozen courses ranked higher but would still go back there first. Oh, and I don't see the appeal of links golf.
Are the men in white coats on their way?

Long time since I played there (mid 90's I think) so guess my memory is a bit vague. Must get back down there as I do remember enjoying it on the couple of times I've played it.
Gary....come down to one of my Hayling mini meets, I'll soon change your opinion of links golf

Stayed and played St Mellion a few weeks ago. It was nice enough, but I don't think I would be in a hurry to get back. The Nicklaus was ridiculously punishing, perhaps a little too punishing. Bunkers were pretty poor and it took us 5 hours to get around (which apparently is standard), which may put a few people off - MetalMickieman would find it hellish. Interesting course though.
I really liked the Kernow, although it felt considerably shorter, but there were some great holes.

As I said Gordon, I think the pond has always been there, but I don't remember seeing it as nice as that.
I remember playing there one year and it looked like a bog in front of the tee.
I hate that bloody 12th. I must have played the Nicklaus course about a dozen times or more, and I don't think I've ever scored a point on that hole.

We booked Woodhall Spa today, have to say it was really tough to choose, the distance from home was some what of a factor though.
Have to say watched Mark Crossfields video of playing St Mellion last night and the place looks amazing, he did however say it was a very tough course quite a few times.
Will have to arrange another trip some time and St Mellion will be very high on the list.

and the Hotchkin at Woodhall is harder.
One of the lads going with us is absolutely terrible at getting out of bunkers, i'mm make sure I have some space on the phone for a video or two.......

Take a ladder and rope. It is not just getting the ball out of the bunkers that is a problem.

Two of the guys going along are very fussy eaters, where would people recommend to eat at Woodhall?
