What new courses are you playing in 2018

[FuzzyDuck]

Playing Hamptworth on Wednesday, looking forward (I think) to tackling The Beast.

Playing Drift in March with a golf society, was supposed to play on the 27th December but got cancelled due to weather.

 

[Orikoru]

I don't go in for expensive courses, but there are some local ones to me that I'd quite like to try this year - West Middlesex & Verulam are a couple of decent-looking ones.

 

[Cheifi0]

Doing trump Dubai and els Dubai in a couple of weeks and Faldo, montgomerie & Lydia links in turkey in March. Anyone played them to tell me what I’m looking forward too?

I will be going to Dubai in March so looking to get a couple of rounds in, was thinking Yas links plus one other so let me know how you get on.

Other courses I am booked in for are
Liphook
Sundridge Park
Frilford Heath

And no doubt a couple more courses to be arranged.

Malkins Bank GC

Wow that was one of the first courses I ever played back in the eighties when I lived up there! Wonder what it looks like nowadays...

 

[Canfordhacker]

Birkdale, Lytham and St Enedoc for me.

Yours might be a short list compared to some of the others but they are 3 absolutely top class courses.......enjoy!

 

[louise_a]

Its looking like a very poor year for new courses for me, the Turnberry trip apart I have nothing planned

 

[IanG]

Not much new on the list for me so far.

Golspie and Brora are in the diary for end of May.

I have a sizeable 'hit' list but no firm plans as yet - must do better.....

Quality rather than quantity Louise.:thup:

Got a few irons in fires for some interesting, bog standard members courses around the country and a chance to meet some interesting people. Quite happy if a couple of those come off

 

[FuzzyDuck]

Well that is Hamptworth ticked off. Only £12 for a round and the course was virtually empty. It was quite wet underfoot but I've played worse, not a lot of mud around, I reckon the wheels on my trolley were cleaner when I finished the round than when I started.

I wimped out of playing the 16th as a par 6, played from the regular yellow tee at 566 yards. However I now think it would have made more sense to play the whole 666 yards, as my drive should have well past the yellow tee and so I would have been in a more advanced spot with 5 shots still left to play for par.

I have to say it was one of the more interesting courses I've played. Every hole was different and lots of elevation changes but never an uphill slog. I will definitely return later in the year when the conditions are better.

Looks a nice enough place especially for the cost. That par 6 sounds interesting. Might be tempted to head that way during Royal Ascot week https://www.hamptworthgolf.co.uk/

Only took me about 45 minutes from junction 6 of the M3.

 

[Merv_swerve]

Mmm got a couple of nice ones, mainly due to the superb organisation of the Forum Arrange a Game section. It really is superb.

West Hill
Liphook
Silloth - been on the radar for few years now, really looking forward to ticking it off.
Turnberry x2

Will have to wait and see on any more as it depends what Opens I can get on. Usual partners are getting increasingly difficult to pin down.

There are a couple I'm really looking forward to returning to, Seaton Carew and my fave The Hotchkin @ Woodhall.
Couple of others I would really like to get back to also are Moortown and Hollinwell.

 

[Liverbirdie]

Still havent finalised all of them, but hopefully amongst others:-

Turnberry (since the changes)
Robert the Bruce course
Waterville
Tralee
Killarney
Cuddington
Tandridge
Walton Heath
Liphook
West Hill
Frilford heath
Little Aston
Lindrick
Sandmoor
Muirfield
Kingsbarns
North Berwick

 

[Crazyface]

Good Lord!!! There's some amazing lists here. Don't you work????????

Siloth
A course somewhere in Newcastle area
A course on the way to Leeds, one in Leeds, one on the way back from Leeds.

That's it !

Played Golspie last year and it's probably the most quirky course I've ever played. Starts off links, then goes into Heathland, then onto Parkland. Very enjoyable, but not in the same league as Brora.

Its OK, we get to play it for free, but TBH don't too often. some great holes and some terrible ones. The parkland ones and the last two esp
