2-FORE!-1 Six of the Best
Published: Last updated:
Our regular 2-FORE!-1 Golf feature again focuses on a batch of 2-FORE!-1s finest courses and include a legendary Scottish links venue, a super Surrey layout and a top stay and play resort just outside historic York. You’ll love them all, specially if you choose to play them in 2-FORE!-1!
*Selsdon Park, Surrey – Just 12 miles from the centre of London yet can be found in a serene setting of 250 acres of spectacular rolling parkland, the 18-hole championship course shares star billing with a luxury hotel housed in a neo-Jacobean building.
*Okehampton, Devon – Classy parkland with great greens set out as a J.H. Taylor nine holer in 1913 but became a ‘full’ course a decade later. Plotted on undulating ground, the course plays like a parkland although it actually sits on moorland.
*Aldwark Manor, North Yorks – If you enjoy a nice relaxing round you’ll be in golfing heaven here. The course sits perfectly within 120 acres of parkland, featuring mature, rare trees which help to create a wonderfully tranquil atmosphere. All this and with a 19th century Manor House and a 55-room hotel as its centrepiece.
*Northop G&CC, Flintshire – Home of a striking Georgian-style clubhouse, featuring a fully refurnished state-of-the-art fitness centre, as well as a superb John Jacobs-designed parkland course.
*Lytham Green Drive, Lancs – Living in the shadow of the illustrious Royal Lytham Open Championship venue, this Blackpool track misses out on the credit it would surely receive in other parts of the country.
*Turnberry (Kintyre course), Ayrshire – It may play second fiddle to the mighty, magnificent Ailsa but the Kintyre is a genuine championship back-up to its legendary neighbour superstar and has staged Open qualifying .
