Great variety

We play 12-15 courses during the year and MoG is the place we visit most. In our price bracket (£10-£25) it not only offers the best value for money (we usually pay £16) but also boasts the most variety, hole-to-hole. Around 8 or 9 of them are dog-legs (of varying degrees, both left and right), the par 3s are testing with lots of protection and the par 5 18th at over 600 yards is a huge challenge to finish on. There's variety WITHIN the holes too. For example, I've played the par 4 4th three different ways. I've laid-up before the brook with 7, leaving myself a partially-blind approach over trees, I've hit a 3-wood over the brook to the 2nd portion of fairway for a 60ft pitch on and I've also tried the ultra-aggressive line straight over the trees from the tee-box with driver. (That last option needs a 300-yard carry though - I didn't have it!) As for general condition, the fairways always look pristine and the greens are well-maintained with some interesting undulations (especially the 13th). The only slight issue is with the tee-boxes. These are sometimes overgrown and are sloped at a disadvantage for right-handed players (being that the ball is often above your feet.) But that's a minor gripe. All-in-all, we've enjoyed every single round in the years we've been playing here and the next visit is already in the calendar. It's a great track.
