OK, I'll retract Royal Dublin, but it has in common with Seaton Carew and Cleveland an unfortunate background, and what I always say about Seaton Carew is that as soon as you get out on that course you quickly forget about the background.
On the human side of life there are charmers and charmers - one lot who flatter you to extract what they want from you, the other lot who are such warm personalities that you want to share everything with them.
On the golfing front, a charming course, for my taste, is an engaging one which makes you want to play your shots, both handsome and pretty, yet with an independent mind and unforced resistance to scoring.
New Zealand, West Hill, Falkenstein, The Creek, Meadow Club, Elie, Kennemer, Royal Belgique, Royal Antwerp, Clitheroe, Alwoodley, Gog Magog, West Cornwall, Parkstone, The Berkshire, Beaconsfield, Ilkley are a few more that spring to mind.
And a few more charmless tracks: John O'Gaunt (pace Paul Turner), Altrincham Municipal, Antrobus, Carden Park, Dinsdale Spa, South Herts, Mount Murray, East Sussex National, London Club, Herons Reach, Leicestershire, Withington, Bidston, Leasowe, Southport & Ainsdale, Royal Cromer (apart from the holes around the lighthouse), Alsager, The Richmond (the marvellous clubhouse notwithstanding), Roehampton, Forest of Arden (Aylesford course and front nine of Arden course), Malton and Norton. I'd better stop before their lawyers get onto me!
