  • Aberdovey, Gwynedd, Wales

    Aberdovey, Gwynedd, Wales
    Apr 18 2025

    The Golf Pilgrim celebrates its first anniversary by making a long overdue visit to Wales.

    Aberdovey lies in the heart of Eryri National Park, or Snowdonia to give it its English name. We hear how the club was founded by a soldier whose first course consisted of nine flowerpots, embedded in Aberdovey Common.

    It's come a long way since then - and you'll probably have a long way to come to play it. But it's well worth the journey…

  • Moortown, West Yorkshire, England

    Moortown, West Yorkshire, England

    While everyone's talking about The Masters, we're talking (again) about the master architect behind August National. Moortown's neighbours at Alwoodley have first claims on Alister MacKenzie's designs - but there's no dispute that he honed his craft in Leeds.

    And not content with having a link to The Masters, Moortown can also boast that it was the first British course to host the Ryder Cup.

    So plenty of history - but the present-day course is hugely impressive too!

  • Le Touquet (La Mer), Hauts-de-France, France

    Le Touquet (La Mer), Hauts-de-France, France
    Apr 7 2025

    If a golf course is named The Sea, you might expect to see the sea from the links. You’ll hear the waves crashing, and the bouncy fairways will certainly indicate you’re on a coastal course, but the English Channel (or La Manche) remains just out of sight.

    But don’t let that put you off visiting another great value-for-money venue. Le Touquet has three courses at the resort, and La Mer has hosted the French Open, where Seve Ballesteros triumphed and Sam Torrance holds the course record.

    And the drama didn't finish at the 18th…..
