Best Golfing venue

Posted by: user264761 [FORUM MODERATOR] | Wed 18th Aug 2010 09:35 | Last Reply

If you were to take a holiday anywhere in the world to play golf, wether it be on the links of Ireland or Californian Coastline, where would you go and why?

I love South Carolina but I'm settling for a serious alternative next week North Devon at Saunton Sands.

South Carolina(http://www.cyberlinksgolf.com/King's%20North.html) for outstaning quality off the courses I have had the pleasure of playing and the service you receive, something this country should follow and have only experienced at the 2010 course at Celtic Manor.

Saunton (http://www.sauntongolf.co.uk/index.php)(east course) is just stunningly natural and captulates everything about golf for me , I's  a coures if I had to  play just that one for the rest of my life I wouldn't complain.

JP everyone I have tried have had to regretably decline any takers really is a luxury couple of days for beer money , if I could afford it I would offer you a money back gurantee , but i know my money would be safe c'mon see what you can do. Next wed/thursday optional game at Clevedon Golf club Tuesday. Acoomaodation Tuesday /Wed.

No disrespect, Patrick, but Saunton is not a course for a relative beginner. There would be too many lost balls and the members are very quick players as we found out to our cost last year having to let a couple of fourballs through.

I would have to agree Patric its a wonderful course but very challenging and the wind always blows there making finding the fairways paramount. I don't believe you would enjoy Saunton at your present level, don't want to sound patronising but its a very tough trek for a rookie, Me and John spend alot of time encouraging and teaching beginners this might scare you away from the game buddy me and i will PM you next time we play Woodbury or Exeter.

Ok just seen your at Woodbury  so look forward to my invite , cheers Patric
