There are on heck of a lot of open, flat drives at Westward Ho! and the course doesn't even really warm up a bit until the first par 3. By the turn things have looked up considerably with the wonderful par 5 9th, but then disaster strikes with the rushes. I figure that the rush holes are either make or break for Westward Ho!. If one likes these holes he can overlook some of the other stuff. If one doesn't like these holes (ME SIR ME), then the course is condemned as a filthy, watery mess (well, not that bad - the course is okay, but to say its better than west country rivals Saunton and Burnham is a bad joke). All that said, everybody should visit Westward Ho! because it is an historic club which is run fantastically (model club really) and it won't cost the earth.
