I’ve played close to 500 courses over more than 30 years. A good percentage of those were played in competitions. In theory, that means I should have been seeing the course at its ‘best’.
You need to take any course review with a pinch of salt, even mine! It is just one person’s opinion on one day. All courses go through ups and downs in terms of condition. However, I would like to think even if the course isn’t in great condition on the day or I’m playing it in terrible weather that I can form an opinion based on the design of the course.
Like a lot of people, I prefer to live a champagne lifestyle on beer money!
While I have paid what some would class as ridiculous sums of money to play golf, I still love to find a bargain.
Even better if I can play a good quality course for a rock bottom price.
I’m not so much of a snob that I would not play a course at least once irrespective of its reputation. However, there are a number of courses I have played down the years that I am in no rush to return to.
