This list is current as of 3 December 2023.
I’ve played 243 golf courses around the world. I suspect a few are still missing as I am old and have forgotten where I have played. Although I trawled through three boxes of course planners recently and added 40 courses to the list!
The summary by country is as follows:
Country | Total |
Australia | 3 |
Bahamas | 1 |
England | 116 |
Ireland | 3 |
Mauritius | 2 |
Portugal | 10 |
Scotland | 32 |
