I appreciate we all play different courses but which one gets you
excited like a kid in a sweetshop.

For me its Ilfracombe I just love it.
The people there are so welcoming im even having my wedding
reception there.

It a course I play every 6 weeks or so but im going to get a membership
there this year as well as my home course.

Which one gets your juices flowing that's not your home course.
 
St. Mellion Nicklaus course.

I've never stood on so many tees in a single round of golf and said wow!

I shouldn't like it because it beats me up every time I play it, but I look forward to it every time.
 
The one for me that I get to play quite regularly is Brocket Hall, partly because of the 2 courses which are both great and partly cos it means Im going to play with my Dad. Always get well treated there, practice facilities are great, always have a fun game then decent food afterwards
 
Hillside for me. Number one on my fave list.

For parkland golf, I love playing The Roxburghe up at Kelso. Really nice place, been many times now and always enjoyed it.
 
Berkshire
West Hill
Links course - Burnham and RCP
Blackmoor
 
Knaresborough. I find the whole experience a pleasure from the moment you enter the driveway. Never failed to be warmly welcomed, in the shop, practise green, on the course and in the bar afterwards. A good mix of holes and the course, in my experience, has always been well kept.
 
Played St Enadoc for the first time this month. Will walk over broken glass to play it again and I'm luck to be able to regularly play all the North Devon courses. I like Ilfracombe but only on a very still and sunny day. You will have noticed that non of the members there carry umbrellas.

Only to keep the sunshine off their backs.
Must admit when the wind blows its hard.
 
If we limit it to courses we play regularly then the ones around here that I look forward to are Duddingston, Mortonhall and Dunbar, whose opens I play in each year.
 
I always get that warm feeling when thinking about the Machrie on Islay. A wonderful links layout to find so far off the beaten track. I played it twice on two successive days in September 2009 in lovely sunny conditions and the course almost to myself. It's well worth the trip - as is the rest of the island, especially the Jazz festival in September if that is you kind of thing. I haven't been back since the recent refurb which has removed some of the blind shots but it for sure is on my list for the next few years.
 
St Enodoc for me too, I play in their open every year and I start looking forward to it from the 2nd Monday in September :thup:
 
Locally, and having played them in the winter and found them superb I'd go for Royal Cinque Ports and Royal St George's.
