Just need to dip your toe over the border to play Silloth on Solway :)

We don’t want you down here boasting that it’s not quite as good as North Berwick 😛😛

Troon is fantastic. The Portland course is also a very good test and stands up very well as a second track
Totally agree on that, was very impressed with the Portland course.

Good luck @virtuocity in getting in at Troon, only a proposer a seconded and 10 letters of support needed and a few years on the waiting list then you are in. We look forward to the forum meet when you host 👏👏

Again a very underrated golf course. If you are being critical the first isn't great and the "balance" of the 9's isn't quite right but what a brilliant test of golf.

Miles better than it's given credit for. Just lives in a great shadow

For me;
the old course because I’ve not done it yet
Troon because it looked tough as old boots on the tele
1 of 2-3 in Ireland. Waterville, Ballybunion, etc etc

hard to narrow down as still too many! Top i would like to see nearby is Beaverbrook - the new ultra-exclusive course near Leatherhood. Have heard very little about it but would love to find out.

Links hit list - probably North Berwick as it just looks great fun. County Down is one I have to do as well

Inland - top options would be Ganton, Notts, Gleneagles Queens. Also really looking forwsrd to seeing Woodhall next year after all the changes
