[Fyldewhite]

1. Turnberry Ailsa (just classic)
2. Druids Glen (really is the "Augusta of Europe", beautiful layout, no expense spared)
3. Traigh (9 holes, cheap as chips but golf as it should be in the most stunning surroundings)
4. Hillside (broke par off the comp tees so will always be special to me)
5. Vilamoura Old Course (both a beautiful course and warm in winter!)

 

[mcbroon]

Turnberry Ailsa
Birkdale
Blairgowrie Rosemount
Gleneagles Kings
Hillside

 

[Foxholer]

Dishonourable mention: The Addington.

What was wrong with The Addington? I presume you played it in Summer! I found it great, if a touch quirky, in the other seasons, though I'd heard (from the HGP and other HGPs) that the Summer issues had (sort of) been addressed.

 

[Bratty]

The Addington doesn't do it for me either. Nasty bounces, starts with a par 3 and there's a couple of fiddly holes and a couple that don't reward good shots.

Anyway, top 5 in UK & ROI:
Old course at St Andrews
The Marquess at Woburn
The Old course at Sunningdale
Bearwood Lakes
The Montgomerie at Carton House

Worldwide:
Old Corkscrew, Naples, Florida
Blue Canyon, Phuket, Thailand
The Old Course, Vilamoura
Atlantic Beach, Cape Town, South Africa
Alhaurin, Malaga, Spain

 

[Qwerty]

Castle Stuart
Royal Dornoch
St Andrews old
Formby
Silloth

Nothing to do with rankings etc, just based on how much I enjoyed them. I probably wouldn't play TOC again but as a one off I though it was pretty special.

 

[Wildrover]

St Andrews Old
Montrose
Valderrama
Vilamoura Old
The Emirates (Majalis)

I know, or B&B, but where do you stop and what do you replace?

Its a toughy, I really liked it , although I wasn't at my best but that has no reflection I have of the course
