Our take

Ferndown's Old Course has been collecting admirers since 1913, with long views and manicured tree lines that make it a genuine pleasure to play.

• Serious golfersHarold Hilton, the only British amateur to win the British and US Amateur titles in the same year, built the defence into raised bunkers rather than length. Flight your approaches properly or spend the day splashing out.
• Higher handicapsFlat fairways, no climbing to speak of and just a single water hazard on the whole course, so the only real trouble here is the sand.
• CouplesLong range views, perfect tree lines and an easy stroll make this the round to share, especially if one of you plays for the scenery rather than the score.
