Doesn't say on their website but I'd stick my neck out and say Meyrick Park is under the 5,800 yard limit.

Strathpeffer GC (par-67) is barely 5,000 yards.

Ally beat me to it with Kilspindie so I will go with Grantown on Spey. Great Braids layout that has retained much of its character despite the odd poorly executed renovation jobs.

Tadmarton is disqualified, I'm sorry to say as it plays 5936 yards from the whites.

Mmm, thanks for the suggestions so far...I was trying to compile a "top-40", but without including nine-holers am maybe pushing it too far.

The one's I had were:
Kendal – 5,792 yards
Cavendish – 5,721 yards
Pitlochry – 5,692 yards
Cockermouth – 5,410 yards
Gullane No.3 – 5,252 yards
Monifieth (Ashludie) – 5,123 yards
Windermere – 5,122 yards
Stonehaven – 5,103 yards
Kilspindie – 5,012 yards
Shiskine – 4,875 yards (18 hole routing)
Dunaverty – 4,799 yards
Painswick – 4,831 yards
Cullen – 4,623 yards

Plus places like Inverallochy, Strathpeffer that I want to go back for a decent look.

Keep them coming, please...

Tadmarton is disqualified, I'm sorry to say as it plays 5936 yards from the whites.

Boo, hiss, Taddy is still worth playing though, even more so now the bunkering is being upgraded to take into consideration modern equipment. Don't go near the gorse though :)

Mentioned a few times already, but Reigate Heath. 9 proper holes, but with different teeing areas, can stretch to 18, and under the allotted yardage. I enjoyed it, and for £25 on the weekend, thought it was excellent value.

My old home club Epsom. Up on the downs with the best views possible and not only that, some of the most wonderful turf and the best greens you are ever likely to encounter. 5780 yards of the plates.

Although they are putting in new "Tiger" tees to lengthen the course, Fortrose & Rosemarkie comes in comfortably under 5,800 yards from the current white/yellow tees.

One of the most remarkable settings (and routings) for a golf course I have ever seen.


Might be the course I haven't seen that I would most like to play.

Fortrose & Rosemarkie is fabulously fun golf. It is burned into my memory, however, by the fact that it was the location for a disastrous attempt to turn my Staffordshire bull terrier x boxer Pugwash into a “golf” dog.
Pockets bulging with biscuits, I got the brindle menace to the turn without mishap though he made it quite clear — bribery notwithstanding — that he was no labrador.
I lashed him to my bag at the 9th, stood to make my putt when the corner of my eye caught a cat making down the 10th (to this day I don’t fully comprehend cat and golf course, what the hell was it doing there!). I looked at Pugwash, his ears were pointing forwards, he looked at me. Time stood still. Then it didn’t. Dog, bag, clubs set off in a blur….
I never tried the experiment again but Fortrose & Rosemarkie I must.
He's the hairy handed gent, who ran amok in Kent.

For those who've seen both how does Fortrose and Rosemarkie compare to (Dawlish) Warren in Devon? Both are shortish length courses on narrow sand spits (and I believe dolphins can be seen from both, although maybe at F&M in more frequency).

Thanks for that comprehensive list Adrian.

That took a good four-hours plus of Tinder-esq sorting to go through those...some interesting stuff to be found out there!

A few under-the-radar ones that piqued my attention, although near impossible to tell from their websites:
Skelmorlie
Dollar
Bangor St. Denial
Freshwater Bay
Waterhall
Limpsfield Chart

Been a while since I played F&R, and even longer since Warren...Fortrose is quite a bit more refined from what I can remember, with a touch more contour/interest - certainly a level above. I'm not sure you ever really feel like you are playing on a spit for more than a couple of holes at Dawlish.


(F&R is 5,893 yards from the white tees, and 6,085 from the black!)

There are times at Fortrose you almost feel like you are playing on the deck on an aircraft carrier out in the ocean. ;)

I think the original Fowler course at Royal Ascot is NLE.
In June I will be riding the first three stages of this year's Tour de France route for charity.  630km (394 miles) in three days, with 7800m (25,600 feet) of climbing for the William Wates Memorial Trust (https://rideleloop.org/the-charity/) which supports underprivileged young people.

The old course in the middle of the racecourse at Royal Ascot is certainly NLE, the club having built a new course across the road.  I don't think that it was a  Fowler though - more like a JH Taylor.
