The course you'd like to play for the rest of your life.

Eventually I would get bored of it, yeah. I mean it might take a month, six months, but eventually I would get sick of playing the same course over and over and lose interest altogether.

For over a year I played the same links course virtually every opportunity - which was between 3 and 7 days a week. and occasionally 3 or 4 times over a weekend. I never got bored because the conditions were different each time!

I'd still opt for Swinley Forest as my 'only course' though! In near 2nd place would be The Shire London. Again, the conditions are never the same and there's never been a round where the course hasn't tempted me into some sort of blunder - that I've wanted to correct/avoid next time!

Castle Stuart, just love the place, helps i normally play well there.
Good atmosphere in the club house having a dram before and after your round.
Just wish they would make it into a members club.

they do... corporate, think its 10K

Don't think the wife would go for that, i'd struggle to keep that amount under the radar

offset as work expense ..... simple

I do love Swinley, but I just feel West Hill would suit me more for regular golf

Was a member at West Hill for a few years and is fabulous. Would never tire of playing it. But for me it’s a no brained...

Royal Dornoch

Bonville but Barnbougle Dunes may change my mind.

Woodhall Spa. Two lovely courses, and a great clubhouse. That, and a nice town for a curry and a beer.

I am totally with you on this. Before moving to America I always thought I would retire to the Woodhall area because of how much I love that course.

I could easily play at my home course of my golfing life, love it.

You should come up for a game, though you've probably already had a freebie on it

Loch Lomond

Does it close in winter? Anytime I drive through Loch Lomond it's always very wet.

I can image you have just made a lot of new 'friends' who are going to be begging for a game 😂

Thanks for the offer but if I'm driving all that way I'd rather play the Old course at St Andrews

Not a problem, it's easier to get you on there anyway, just give me a shout

Is there a problem with midges? I have driven past it a few times, and it looks likely to be bitey.

The Old is on the east coast, no midges there.

I was thinking Loch Lomond?

 

[User 99]

Midges are more confined to further west or higher up, however, across the Loch deep in the bracken on the side of Ben Lomond can be hellish. , it's all about the weather, this year there has hardly been any, they don't like dry and warm, wet and warm however....

 

[USER1999]

Midges love me, I am not a fan.
