Liam, that course and your description reminds me of my favorite. Very similar story, I had 6 different tee times scheduled for a week of golf in Cabo San Lucas, needless to say after 1 round at Quivira I canceled all others and played 5 more straight. Been back 3 more weeks since that and still cannot bring myself to play any of the other courses. Love it. Cheers from Oklahoma USA.

Another great video Liam, I only wish I get the chance to play there sometime in the future. Regarding my favourite course of all time to date....It has to be the Balcomie course, one of two links courses at the Crail Golfing Society in Sconny Botland. With Craighead being the second course there. I've had the fortune to play both courses, each having there own individual challenges, but the Balcomie course gets it every time for me. Why...? Difficult to put into words, but I just get that tingly feeling, with the breath taking views stood on the first tee.

Went on a golfing trip to the North Island of New Zealand and played a total of 10 courses including Kauri Cliffs and Kidnappers both fantastic courses but the 2 favourites were Wairekei and Kinloch both in Lake Taupo. Most amazing thing about golf in NZ is that the courses are not overused and the scenery and hospitality are excellent , even for a POM now Aussie😎. Even she with small hands had a great time driving the buggy and she doesn't play golf. Keep up the good work👍

Great video. Terrific question. Course has to look good from the tee to green from green back to the tee. Definition of fairway and first cut. Good greens, same speed, not bumpy. Views essential. History a bonus for me. I think we all think a bit more fondly of a place we have played well at as well. Difficult to say my favourite course, as for different reasons I like one or another. Inland, Sunningdale old for me. Then for just purity, Turnbury. If God saw that patch of land and built a golf course, he would put the tees where they are,manda the greens where they are. Favourites are links, so pick from Tralee, Ballybunion, La Hinch ( you can tell I am old school!) in Ireland, Carnoustie, North Berwick, Blairgowrie in Scotland. Sandwich, Hillside, St Enadoc.....and just slip in Lindrick, for England. La Belle dune for France, spyglass Hill or Cyprus point for USA. See, it is difficult! Not done Spain or Portugal!
