Hello, I'm here to talk about the creme de la creme of golf courses in the UK and Ireland, as discussed by the Golf Monthly team at Royal PC Call Golf Club. Starting with Sunningdale Golf Club, they dived into the nuances of the old and new courses, with the new one offering a more severe test than its older counterpart. Moving on to Carnoustie's Championship Course, known for its tough finish and unique design, it's a place where disasters are not uncommon, especially on the infamous 18th hole.
Royal Portrush, gearing up to host the Open Championship, shines with its rugged links and tough yet enjoyable 18 holes. Royal Birkdale, a club known for its warmth and tradition, offers a golfing experience like no other, with every hole presenting a different challenge. The panelists then delved into the classic design and pristine bunkering of Muirfield, a course that stands the test of time and elements on the Lothian Coast.
Trump Turnberry Resort, with its recent changes enhancing its coastal beauty, promises a golfing pilgrimage like no other. The iconic Old Course at St Andrews, a natural masterpiece shaped by time and history, offers a spine-tingling experience that transcends mere golf. Finally, Royal County Down's championship course takes the crown with its breathtaking sea and mountain backdrop in Newcastle, making it a top choice for golfers seeking an unforgettable experience on the course.
