Highest golf courses in Britain
It's strange how playing the Lickey Hills always gave me the impression that all the holes bar 2 were uphill. A bit like an impossible staircase.
I think Dudley GC must be the highest in the West Midlands because it's on top of Turner's Hill.
A few years ago I visited Kington and they were worried their status of the highest 18 hole course in England was being taken away by Alston Moor being extended from 9 to 18, but I can't confirm this. I played it when it was 9 hole.
I also played Leadhills and Braemar. So it seems Leadhills is the highest 9 while Braemar the highest 18 in Scotland.
Never even knew about W. Mons but assumed Welshpool was probably the highest in Wales. I don't think it can be much lower because you feel like a mountain goat up there.
All a bit of a grey area. Someone needs to visit them all with GPS.
