2-FORE!-1 best of britain: Wiltshire
Published: Last updated:
Wonderful Wiltshire may be a relatively small county but when it comes to 2-FORE!-1 golf it’s massive. Here is all the proof you need – great courses you can play for half-price provided you’re in possession of a 2-FORE!-1 voucher.
*Bowood G&CC – This mature, outstanding Dave Thomas parkland track provides a memorable round and is always in tip-top shape. Bowood has a splendid variety of holes though you need to keep out of the trademark Thomas bunkers – they’re enormous and there’s plenty of them!
*The Manor House – A magical rollercoaster of a track plotted amidst 365 stunning acres of breathtaking Cotswold countryside on the edge of the ancient village of Castle Combe.
Parkland golf doesn’t come much better than this. It really is a must-play as it’s always in great condition, making the best possible use of the breathtaking undulating terrain with several stunning elevated tees.
*High Post – Classy downland venue which has staged many prestigious tournaments since opening in 1922. It also happens to be easy walking and free draining so is usually found in great nick year-round.
*Broome Manor – Fine parkland municipal venue where former Ryder Cup star David Howell learnt his golfing skills.
*Hamptworth G&CC – Rapidly maturing parkland layout with a great variety of holes. Watch out for ther river Blackwater which runs through the course and both nines finishing on a huge double green.
*The Wiltshire G&CC – Solid all round venue and the home of the revamped Lakes course, nine-hole Garden layout and an on-site hotel.
