The ultimate golf course from which everything else followed. Sacred shrine.

There's nothing like the experience of playing there, even if it lacks the frequent wow factor of some courses. Punishes mistakes but rewards even modestly-talented golfers. Adding to the pressure, tourists and spectators watch your shots on the first two and last two holes - which at least forces you to concentrate! Incredible condition considering so much demand for tee times. Everyone should have a go at least once.

It lived up to every expectation I had harboured since childhood... and more. The classic holes are wonderful, but I also loved the complexity of the course despite its age.

One of the greatest rounds of golf you can play. I loved that everyone has a chance to score (I play off 17.8 and nailed an eagle!) if they have their A game. However, woe betide you if you find sand or the road!

No better feeling than standing on either 1st, 17th or 18th tee to get a sense of history about golf. Every great golfer in history has played here and while many don't love it on first playing that changes the more you play the old lady.

The Golf Course is such a historic and iconic place with unique greens. The course is the ultimate "width and angles" course.

No better feeling than standing on the 1st tee in front of the R&A clubhouse and feel the history. Every great golfer has played there and while many have hated it or not rated it to start very few don’t eventually love it the more you play it. A masterpiece of design that was predominantly made by nature
