Set in deepest Lincolnshire, this heathland course is renowned for a strong cast of holes and the challenge, positioning and indeed depth of its bunkers. The front nine is more open than the back nine but that's not to say it's any easier - every hole is a challenge here. Woodhall Spa is unpretentious and exceptional value, but it's a real trek to get to.
Panellists' comments: "The flow of holes is good, the variety of shots excellent and the need for strategic thinking almost peerless"
