Oh Christ Hayling better than Burnham I’ve heard it all now! 😂Top links courses. Only southern based as the north is too far away. (In order of preference)
RSG
Saunton East
RCP
St Enodoc
Saunton West
Royal Porthcawl
Hayling
Burnham Berrow (sorry mendie but hayling is better IMO)
......
Special mention to the back 9 @ Pyle & kenfig and the 6th @ RND which is the finest links hole in England (hyperbole alert!!)
It loses its way a bit around the turn imo. 2nd & 18th are great holes tho. Maybe it’s a familiarity thing. If I was going to Burnham I’d be tempted to stay in the car for another 45 mins and go onto RND!! 😉
I'm a fan of Dunbar, enjoyed it much more than Gullane 1 on my last trip up that neck of the woods.
I love Perranporth. It's a great place to unwind. Everyone heads to the Watering Hole as it's a stunning view, but I like the Tywarnhayle Inn just off the beach. Good food and good prices. Alternatively, try the Bolingey inn just up Liskey Hill. A real old school pub and the food is lovely as well.Keeping the links stuff in the same thread.... just back at our cottage after playing Perranporth. Sunny day with an icy NE blowing...gusting 25mph or more. Never been there before so even with yardage book a bit of guess about where to go... a couple of holes are totally bonkers... but overall a cracking old school links with great views of sea and beach/ town.
Very welcoming place...everyone we saw... tough old walk with all the thermals etc on...but £27 with county card...daft! But ready for hot bath now... I feel like Tashy after his 12 rounds with the ladyboy!
For a special treat head to Newquay to Jamie Oliver's place Fifteen. Absolutely superb food!
I'll try it next time we're there mate. We usually head to Padstow for some of Stein's delicacies but I can always fit another meal into the week 😉
It's beginning to sound like the usual week won't be enoughTry the St Kew Inn, near Wadebridge, though you will probably need to book. Mike the innkeeper is a member at St Enodoc, and might sign you in at guest rates.
Great food and atmosphere.
Loved Perranporth. Just the sort of course you want to play on holiday, and great value.It's beginning to sound like the usual week won't be enough

Same here, it blew me away (almost literally too!)
