The newly re-designed Isleworth now comes in at 7544 yards off the 'Tiger tees' and yes this is where the great Tiger Woods lives and plays his golf.
As of Feb 04 the course record is 67 by Tiger, the par is 72. A scratch golfer would do well to get it round in 75. The greens are beautiful but extremely difficult and they are all very well guarded on approach. It's a fantastic course in many ways; it's tough alright but you never feel intimidtaed (except par 3 2nd hole which requires an arrow straight shot between giant trees onto a small target from 240 yards, miss it and big trouble or a Lake Windermere awaits!).
There are birdies out there but you must work for them, a course most standards of golfer can play but all standards would appreciate. The condition is perfect, the atmosphere is too and you feel special playing here. This is one of the best courses I've ever played - and I've played most of the best both in US and UK - you know that when you just want to stay out there and not come in! And boy oh boy is the clubhouse something else!!! If you're lucky enough. |
