  • Seacroft, Lincolnshire, England
    Nov 17 2024

    Who doesn't like a bargain? Seacroft is the cheapest Top 100 Course in England, with a round available for less than £40 in winter, and even in summer you can get a twilight round for less than £50.

    And being a links course, it's still very playable in winter, with a different set of seasonal tees to provide a fresh test.

  • Chart Hills, Kent, England
    Nov 11 2024

    Is there a course in the UK with more sand? Let us know...but it certainly has the longest bunker we've ever seen, running more than two hundred yards along a fairway. We didn't count how many rakes it needed.....

    Chart Hills was designed by Sir Nick Faldo but after suffering from poor drainage has undergone major renovations in recent years, and has been rewarded with a place in England's Top 100.

    THIS EPISODE HAS NOW BEEN UPDATED TO INCLUDE AN INTERVIEW WITH CHART HILLS’ GENERAL MANAGER.

  • West Hill, Surrey, England
    Nov 4 2024

    Back to Surrey for the third of the famous three Ws. In recent years it has replaced thousands of trees with an abundance of heather.

    And we delve into West Hill's fascinating history, which has a touch of the macabre.
