Even though my selection for the Walker Cup is unlikely, I have a prior commitment to Hoylake that weekend. Which is a real shame as this is a fabulous pair of venues, offering some of the best value in British golf. My opinion of Goswick goes up every time I go back, and there is a real sense of remoteness there unmatched almost anywhere else in English golf, save perhaps Brancaster. Dunstanburgh is a super, unpretentious links with about a dozen really interesting holes and half a dozen moderate ones. The latter can be very slow on a Saturday, when lots of visitors take advantage of the incredible green fee, but if you pace yourselves, you'll have a blast. And the whole of coastal Northumberland is simply one of the most gorgeous, uncrowded, historically interesting spots in the whole of the UK. Enjoy!
