Surely you get excited picking up a prize every time you play my course ?
What course do you get excited about.

I get excited just by holding clubs. Standing on the first tee anywhere is fun for me.

All 3 Woburn courses have always been special to me as it's the first championship golf club that I went to and then eventually played as a kid. My Dad used to work for Dunhill so I went a lot when they sponsored the British Masters and it was magical as a kid. I then used to play it every year with my brothers (Dukes was always my favourite, Duchess was both my brothers fav) I am least keen on the Marquess but I think that's because of the sentiment of the other 2 courses. All 3 are very, very good and in great condition whenever i've played them. Looking forward to the European Tour event in October being held there again.
No, never played golf, have played cricket in Severnarge..
Panshanger, Redbourn, Hammonds End, Harpenden Common, Batchwood, Aldwickbury, Stockwood Park, a 9 holers between Harpenden and Wheathampstead and Lammer Wood. Might be another one, back in 2006 when i started playing

Local to me, Beau Desert. Play their Am/Am each August Bank Holiday. Whittington and Coventry (Finham) always great to play too.

Played it last year in the ICC and can't wait to play it again, Concra Wood, visually stunning course, great clubhouse and was just an all round lovely day

I think that's the same for me, I will enjoy it even if its a goat track. I have played some real crap courses but I would still go back and play them again.

Hankley Common.
But I only ever really play away in comps and its the completion that gets the blood flowing regardless of where it is.

I can't really say the same. Doesn't matter so much as a one-off but there are courses I play regularly that I'd happily never visit again! Not naming names!

Spot on Rich, I think that RCP before Xmas was a turning point. My game is hugely improved in the last couple of years and with that comes the discipline needed on a links course of the calibre of these two
I chose them as they are nearby but any day of the week and even probably at night, I'd play your place or West Hill
This from the man who didn't like links golf a few months ago.

I've got a soft spot for Silloth and usually can't wait to go back.

Cams Hall down in Fareham. Havent played there in a while, but always enjoyed it.
I'm also looking forward to the new course at the Rose Bowl when they open it in 2016. Should be interesting!

Very much so mate, but I based this on what I'd only played once and was looking forward to going back again, if its somewhere I've played a couple of times and still want and look forward to going back, then Blackmoor is right up there :thup:
I play in Beau Deserts Opens each year, great course and very local to me, I'm a member at Coventry (Finham) and this years Race to Hillside Midlands qualifier is there, if ever you want to go around it and I'm free, just let me know

St Mellion Nicklaus.
It's a brute of course, and I rarely play particularly well around there (I don't think I've ever finished the farking 12th) but it's just spectacular.
As somebody mentioned earlier, there are not many courses where you stand on every single tee and think "blimey" but St Mellion has that effect.
There are only a couple of "weak" holes on the course (possibly the 8th (par 3)) and the 1st isn't particularly inspiring, but as a package I think it's brilliant

I always get excited about playing somewhere new. As for courses I have already played:
St George's Hill is always a great day
County Sligo is special to me as it was my first taste of links golf. The top 100 courses would suggest that there are plenty of better courses but I love this one. A lovely course and always a warm welcome in the bar afterwards
