What new courses are you playing in 2018

[anotherdouble]

We did the one that was a 3 man team open. I am sure we can get a few teams from the forum playing.

After all, @Captainron needs a team as I am giving him a free transfer 👌

I thought he has already broken in his new bitch, Phylis from Liverpool😱

Sounds good.

I'm yet to play with the legend that is Captaniron, in fact I can't even remember seeing him hit a ball.

(I have seen him across fairways looking around in the rough though.)

Oh you have just volunteered yourself nicely.

@Liverpoolphil and @Stuart_C can now take a deep breath 😂

Not quite as exotic as yours, but am looking at:

Turnberry
Dundonald
PGA Course at Belfry
Roman Road
Donnington Valley
Donnington Grove
Chestfield
Cooden Beach

Sure i'll play a few others.

Also considering Gleneagles

Been a decent year (for me). Missed Cooden Beach (again), but added Princes, Paultons, Mar Hall, The Ridge and Woodlake to the list.

About to play Wallasey and Royal Liverpool too!

Any sublime unexpected ones out of them ?

San Lorenzo - was impressed as had only heard how tired it was.

Yes I think Coxmoor surprised and pleased me the the most, we went over on a Winter warmer deal in March and had a fantastic day,madd very welcome and they served up an amazing home made steal and ale pie. Went back twice later in the year to play in two opens and planning to go again this Winter and next Summer

Plenty of new links courses in there. Could be more but can't think of them off the top of my head.

 

[Liverbirdie]

Now that’s another course I want to play at some point.

Looks very raw.

me too

 

[PNWokingham]

didn't so may new ones this year - infact, trying to remember if there were any outside of Turnberry x2, Silloth and West Lancs

 

[Bigfoot]

It may be a good idea that Nick.

I may explore that next year with the open weekend at Enville 👍

This all sounds like a good idea!

What was the Ridge like, had a membership there when I was 18 and just started driving was in decebt condition. But played it again 10years ago about time I stopped playing and was in terrible state the bunkers were bare hard packed mud rather than sand, greens were terrible and couldn't differentiate between fairway, rough or fringe. But that was being run by a private owner who at that point didn't really have a clue, it's only about 15mins from where we currently live but after that experience never had the inclination to return

 

[need_my_wedge]

So far booked in

The Buckinghsmshire
Turnberry x 2
Bearwood Lakes
El Rompido North & South

All but Bearwood Lakes checked off (the course was closed when we got there due to heavy rain).

Will add Moor Park (West Course) next week.

Having just picked up a county card for the first time, and looking at the clubs that take part, I think I will be playing a lot more in 2019. Hopefully, we'll get Bearwood in too.

We played it in April just after a week of rain. It was wet under foot, but wasn’t too bad. Used an American golf free round voucher. So for £0 I’d go again. Realistically wouldn’t pay much more than £15for it.

I think your about right there isn't worth more than that to play if it's like it was 10 years ago.

I remember going there with my dad when they were constructing the course and the developers were talking up going on about large USGA green complexes, outstanding practice facilities and a real golfers course. In truth though I think they bit off more than they could chew and it just never matured how they said it would. Really wouldn't be surprised if its gone in another 10 years.

Much better courses locally to play than the Ridge.
