I remember playing there in the wind and rain and it was side ways ... shot of the day was a 2iron onto a short par 3 that was playing long! But that was when I could play the game. Now it would be a couple of shots and lots of lost balls

Listen to advice and listen to it well...?

I played there a couple of years ago in a pro am. Robert Rock was our pro. Par 5 into the wind, Driver, 3 wood, 3 wood, nowhere near. Made my 10 on that hole look epic.

If you don't play Princes in the wind, you probably don't get to play

It's not a good idea for pensioner tappers

We only played off the whites, not the real back tees !

Think the pin is still rattling from that putt you holed on the par 3.

Loved the two courses we played, especially the Shore in the sun.

I love playing princes, though that wind can be very brutal. Best time of year for me is Summer - that breeze is a welcomed when it's redders!

I remember years ago Sky televised theh Oxford v Cambridge match from there. Suprised they could stand up.

Playing in the West Country on a part hill top course it is the days without wind you notice.

One of our par 5s (just 437 yards slightly uphill) was once driver , 3 wood , 3 wood and chip and run wedge and they were all good shots.

Did you really play off the back tees
The blue tees are 30-40 yards further back from the whites on every hole and some of them are brutal! I think the back tees are really only suitable for scratch or lower.
I'm playing there over the bank holiday and I'm hoping to play off the whites not blues!

Tip 3
Don't play Woodhall Spa in the rain with a knob.

It's gonna be a lovely 2 days down at Princes this coming bank holiday weekend. I'll probably still play like a twit.
