My Favourite Courses

The playful punchbowl 3rd green at Royal Cinque Ports (one of several inspiring greens at Deal)

10 acres of pure fun (for all abilities) at The Cradle, Pinehurst

Artistry, strategy and wild greens at Pasatiempo; the best of Alister MacKenzie

A lesson in routing and strategic bunkering at Muirfield

Golf at its adventurous best in Pokhara, Nepal

My favourite feature of The Old Course; the dramatic (and strategic) rippled 2nd

Fascinating green contours at Winged Foot

The disarming 1st at Elie (and everything that follows)

Donald Ross making full use of a small site at Wannamoisett

Sound strategy never grows old at Woking GC

Tobacco Road; the place that made me question what a golf course can be

Winter Park; the best of municipal golf

Scaling the alps at Rye

Fun and adventure at Cruit Island

Nature and the human hand wonderfully combine at North Berwick
