Golf COURSES
Blundell's Hill Golf Club, Rainhill, Merseyside, UK - http://www.blundellshill.co.uk
An attractive and demanding test of golf on a compact site which offers great variety and challenge. The routing winds its way around and through existing stands of trees and outcrops of sandstone bedrock which are carefully integrated into the course routing. Greens are large and softly undulating in a links style which is typical of Steve Marnoch.
Cavendish Golf Club, Buxton, Derbyshire, UK - http://www.cavendishgolfclub.com
Tom Doak included Cavendish among only four English Midlands courses in his book on 1325 courses worldwide. He also named Cavendish as one of a small group he rated with the best par under 70. In his selection of the 18 best holes from courses that aren't on anyone's top 100 list, he included the 422yd 10th (par 4) at Cavendish.
At 5721 yds the course is short, and in being so it fulfils MacKenzie's belief that length has nothing to do with the quality of a hole.
Kikuoka Golf & Country Club, Canach, Luxembourg - http://www.kikuoka.lu
Beautifully located near the wine producing region of the Moselle and only 15 km away from the airport and the city centre, Kikuoka Country Club boasts a championship 18-hole golf course and a 4 star hotel.
Los Barrancos de La Zagaleta, Marbella, Spain - http://www.lazagaleta.com
The second course at La Zagaleta called "Los Barrancos" is probably one of the most challenging sites to be provided to a golf course architect where the aim is to create a playable course which also somehow blends with the landscape.
Masstricht International Golf, Maastricht, The Netherlands - http://www.migolf.nl
There is really something for everyone with an 18 hole golf course, a 9 hole compact course, along with a feature state-of-the-art driving range on three levels with 60 bays. The fascinating point of interest with Maastricht International Golf is that 13 holes are in The Netherlands with half the driving range and 5 holes in Belgium along with the other half of the driving range.
Muskerry Golf Club, Carrigrohane, Co Cork, Eire - http://www.muskerrygolfclub.ie
Muskerry Golf Course is considered to be one of the top 18 hole parkland courses in Munster, if not all Ireland. Nestling in beautiful parkland close to the village of Tower near Blarney it offers golfers the opportunity to sample golf over natural terrain, natural hazards as well as bringing many mature trees into play.
Royal Antwerp Golf Club, Kapellen, Antwerp, Belgium - http://www.ragc.be
"this is an iron hand in a velvet glove. The remarkably intelligent layout, highly strategic bunkering and the presence and use of trees and heather are an example for all modern designers." Peugeot Golf Guide 2008/2009
