Bicester Golf Club - Oxfordshire

Bicester was once farmland and is quite open in most areas. But it is a well bunkered course and the water hazards increase the difficulty.

The Lambourne Golf Club - Burnham, Buckinghamshire

The Lambourne is a superb championship standard course, everything about this course from the club house, locker rooms to the tees, fairways and greens is of the highest standards. Set in mature parkland with six lakes it is a joy to walk around this course even if you play badly.

Enjoyed the round very much, was also very impressed with the clubhouse facilities as well a very nice golf experience.

Waterstock Golf Club - Oxfordshire

Waterstock is a nice looking course with USGA greens and tees, it is quite new so most of the trees that line the fairways are very young at the moment so relief can be taken. A brook comes into play on six of the holes which makes club selection vital and there are practice bunkers, putting facilities plus a 22 bay driving range.

Hole 15 stood out for me, it is a dogleg to the right but there is a big tree on the right hand side of the fairway at the corner of the dogleg. You either have to lay up to the side of the tree, leaving a longer second shot, or go for it and either bend the ball round the tree or go straight over it.
