We have a family trip to London Summer '24 and I looked around for a nearby course that would allow myself and my son to play. I ended up getting a tee time here.

This isn't a golf trip but wanted to take a day to do this with my son as he's asked since he was quite young if he could ever go play with me in Ireland/Scotland on one of my trips.

Apparently it hosted the Open a couple of times and was slated to host a couple more. The last two had to move venues due to flooding however and it was never placed back in the Open rotation again. It does host a (annual?) qualifier for the the Open however.

I assume it is good, having hosted and having the Royal designation, but curious if anyone has played it.

Looking forward to playing a links course with my son regardless of it's quality.

thanks

I'm a member there. It's a wonderful course and every bit as good as Sandwich (Royal St George) just next door. You will have a great time! It just recently cracked as a top 100 in the world in a recent list.


I'll post some pics when I get to my PC in a bit.

Wow, that's cool. Are you local or is this an international membership?

Thanks stymied, sounds great. Looking forward to it even more now!

That video on the Hagen Hoof tournament was awesome. Can only imagine how good a pint is after playing those 54!

Hope you enjoy it. Let us know your thoughts after you get back from your trip!

My next trip over there is this upcoming May and I can't wait!
