St Georges Hill...jeepers, its hard to imagine this isn't the best heathland course...absolute delight...between 8 and 7 so in Doak fashion a
7...my score
1*...give me more plays and I could see this course rising to 8...need to understand the greens better
Burnham & Berrow x4
7 (real Doak 5, but he is mistaken
)...my score
1*Castle Stuart...best modern course I have seen and one of the few I would like to see again...
8 (real Doak 7)...my score
1*Carnegie Links...very surprised by this course as it is better than I imagined. Only real issue holding it back from a 7 is the back to back water holes on 11 & 12...bad mistake design-wise...
6 (real Doak 5)...my score
NR (way too expensive)
Dornoch...I will never see this course as a 9 or 10...the greens are too similar for that sort of distinction, the 16th is an abomination and the finish after 14 is far from stellar...
7 (real Doak 10)...my score
1*Harborne....very fine...
6 (Real Doak 5)...my score
RBlackwell...very fine...
6 (no Doak...should be Doaked)...my score
r3* Don’t Miss For Any Reason...consider playing only this course the entire trip
2* Plan A Trip Around This Course...play it more than once
1* Worth An Unscheduled Overnight Detour
R Worth A Significant Daytrip (rule of thumb is to never spend more time in the car than it takes to play and have drinks)
r A Good Fall Back On Course If Nearby
NR Not recommended
