County Sligo

As we stood looking down on the fifth fairway and across the bay beyond, we could understand why this was "The Land of Heart's Desire." ...

Bro Hof Slott Castle

The Castle course is a rarity, featuring six par-fives, six par-fours, and six par-threes. The Berkshire Red is the only other course I can recall with a similar layout.

Bro Hof Slott (Stadium)

isn't it about time the Ryder Cup came to Sweden—and where else but Bro Hof Slott? This is a venue that was made for big-time golf.

Narin & Portnoo

A breathtaking course on the Atlantic coast. For those who enjoy quirky links, this is heaven

Ullna

To round off this great course with a par and a win was a genuine thrill. 

Dunbar

I had taken too long to visit Dunbar. I hope it is not so long before my next game there.

Österåker (Öster by Stenson)

Öster (East) by Stenson was the inaugural redesigned course at Österåkers Golfklubb, 25 miles north of central Stockholm.

Ã…lands (Castle)

The redesign of the Castle Course is far beyond expectations. Its project team took a risk in closing for two years, pushing holes to the sea’s edge, and they've created a Continental Europe Top 100 entry.

Royal Troon

Privileged to have walked in the steps of giants and even played a couple of holes better than some of them.

Kytäjä North-West

One of Europe's best resorts. Kytäjä truly deserves its growing reputation.

Kytäjä South-East

The captivating blend of holes winding through woods and around the lake, coupled with wonderfully true greens, was exceptional.

Linna

The modern golf club and course has held many prestigious events and is part of the European Tour Destinations Network.

Pärnu Bay

What a pleasure it was to play Estonia’s top golf course, Pärnu Bay Golf Links, the day after the country’s most celebrated day in the sport.

Seaton Carew (revisited)

Four years ago, after playing a mixed open with Mrs. W, I wrote that Seaton Carew had "very high aspirations for the future." "With its...

Northamptonshire County (revised)

It had been nearly five years since my last visit to Northamptonshire County, and returning proved to be a very wise decision.

El Paraiso

The grass may be green and as well manicured as any I have seen this year but it certainly doesn’t grow under the feet of the management at El Paraiso.  

Real Club De Golf Las Brisas

Real Club De Golf Las Brisas is one of the jewels of the Puerto Banus development to the southeast of glamorous Marbella.

Kingsbarns

Every time I play a world top 100 course, the anticipation revs up several notches. Consequently, I expected the design of the course at...

Dumbarnie Links

Dumbarnie's gorgeous links matched the wonderful hospitality of a club whose reputation soars with each passing season.

Lundin

Lundin is in the St Andrews belt and benefits from those wanting more Fife golf during their pilgrimage to the Old Course.
