Top 5 on your Bucket list?

[Twire]

As per the title, what are the top 5 courses on your bucket list?

Try and keep it realistic/achievable. I'm sure we would all like to play Augusta, TPC Sawgrass etc, but certainly in my case it's never going to happen. With that in mind I've kept my 5 a bit closer to home.

In no particular order.

Sunningdale Old
St Andrews Old
Royal County Down
Trump International
Royal Birkdale

Over to you.

Looks stunning Steve and was last week looking at maybe organising a couple of days down that way next year but they certainly know how to charge green fees in that neck of the woods😳

Can’t believe you boys haven’t done Enniscrone yet on one of your trips, it’s a cracker and RCD is everything that’s said about it.

Its getting more expensive every year we payed 140 euro as it was October but there all over 200 euro now. We played Connemarra as well when we were over so only Crane and Enniscrone to play there haha , next year we're going to the Portstewart area again

Why??????

 

[Hobbit]

Achievable?

Valle de Este, Almeria
Desert Springs, Almeria
Sotogrande
Valderamma
Royal St George's

There's a lot I've not included that would probably be higher up the list, e.g. Turnberry & Troon, but.... 56 working days left to retirement and then the move to Spain. Hoping to catch RSG on the trip across for H4H next year.

 

[cookelad]

Why??????

Which bit?

Not sure what your expectation is but if my experience is any guide....it'll blow you away I love playing there

Its much more 'playable' now than it was a few years back with 18 very different holes. Huge fun to play and even the 'weakest' hole (par 3 15th) will mess with your eyes as its nowhere near as short as it looks and the 18th now as a choice of two greens to go at depending on the comp

Keep it on your list


Oh and its re-branded now as Ile Aux Cerfs GC as its no longer tied to the old (now refurbished) Le Touessrok hotel

Give me a shout when you over and if you want a game at my place I can sign you all on. If you time it right you might get to play Glashedy when the stands are still up from the Irish Open but I would need to book the tee times well in advance.

I emailed Lahinch, Tralee & Doonbeg last week and all came back at 200+ and not a pennies discount for GUI members which most other clubs do offer, so that’s a no go of a trip until I make some contacts 😉
