Basildon Golf Course

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...I was fortunate enough recently to stay in Villamora, a town on the Portuguese Algarve. This is a very modern town boasting a beautiful marina as well as good food accommodation and of course golf. I stayed at the Villa Sol country club, which boasts it's own championship golf course, golf pro, driving range, swimming pools, tennis courts and private beach area. This resort is about five minutes drive from the town and has five championship golf courses within a fifteen minute drive. It is only about a twenty minute drive from the airport at Faro, and fifteen minutes from the nightlife of Albuferia.... Read review

Advantages: cheap, not busy
Disadvantages: some very short holes

...I recently had the pleasure of playing 9 holes at the fairly new Newport golf complex. The cost of playing here is very reasonable six pounds for 9 holes or eight pounds for 18 holes. This kind of fee makes playing golf accesable to all members of the public. As we tee-ed off at the 1st (292 par 4) I was very suprised at the quality of the fairways, considering it is a pay-as-you-play course they were very good, as too were the greens. It does have one or two challenges though, the 170 yard par 3 ninth hole with water guarding the front edge of the green for example. Overall a thouroughly enjoyable golf course for beginner and seasoned campaigners alike!... Read review

Advantages: friendly club
Disadvantages: a bit remote

...I would thoroughly recommend this golf course to anyone who is starting out playing golf. My sixteen year old son has had some golf lessons and is a regular at the driving range but has never plucked up the courage to play a game because most of the courses seem to take the game so seriously to say nothing of the expense. He and my husband (another novice) had a great game at Wells Gray - no rules about what to wear and all for about £25 including hire of clubs and a golf buggy. They lost one ball in the river and one in the lake but apart from that there were no other mishaps and a great time was had by both of them. The course is situated near the entrance to Wells Gray Provincial Park on the Clearwater Valley road.... Read review
