Forest Pines GC

Often described as the 'Wentworth of the North', Forest Pines Golf Club has become a much talked about track

Often described as the 'Wentworth of the North', Forest Pines Golf Club has become a much talked about track since it opened just over a decade ago.

The course has been carved out of dense pine forest and the designer John Morgan was at pains to leave as much of the woodland in tact as possible. And, to his credit he has succeed in this tricky task by pinching the width of the fairways. In fact some seem thinner than a super-model's stomach! The result is a truly beautiful course that really makes you concentrate on every shot, especially from the tee.

Green fees: £36 per round, £48 per day
