What's great about Little Aston? Well, apart from a magnificent course and possibly the best putting green anywhere, they make a point of welcoming visitors with a small gift.

If you build it, who will come? The big yellow diggers have transformed this part of Staffordshire into the JCB owner’s fields of dreams.
It’s now hosting LIV events, so it’s good enough for the professionals. But is it somewhere mid-handicappers will enjoy?

Are there more dramatic opening holes in the UK and Ireland? The scenery and the giant dunes help make Portstewart's front 9 among the best links courses anywhere. But is it a game of two halves? Well, the club are improving holes on the back 9 to keep the thrills coming.
And even in a three club wind, Ian manages a decent round.

A special episode on the fabulous Dunluce Championship Links which hosted The Open in 2019, and will again in 2025. With a special guest appearance from actor James Nesbitt who is a Royal Portrush member and lives in the town.

It's Ian's favourite course for many reasons - and he has family connections to the club...but listen right to the end for a painful tale of heartbreak, when glory beckoned...

Ashridge is a great example of how your enjoyment of a course can depend on whether it's set up for recreational golfers or top amateurs. When we played a couple of years ago on the eve of a high-level competition, the rough was so punishing, the round became an ordeal.

But on our latest visit, Ashridge was a delight. Did that mean it was easy? Of course not!

Woodbridge is a hidden heathland gem within the beautiful Suffolk countryside.

Its quirky holes spurred Neil on to believing he would manage a stellar round but there was a sting in its tail - and a recently discovered Second World War look-out.

Mrs W collects the champagne again as Neil imagines Parkstone's former pro and famous BBC commentator Peter Alliss having a right good giggle at his attempts to ascend its dramatic false fronts.

Meanwhile, Ian and Neil discuss how nature conversation has been critical to making this one of the England's most picturesque courses.
