CCJ Woodmead – Hamish Houston

Published by : Stuart McLean - 11 January 2023

This parkland treat has fantastic true greens beautiful to putt on. Woodmead is in wonderful nick, although bunkers were inconsistent. The bunker complexes and integration with the greens are well designed and require an array of shots. Clubhouse facilities and 19th hole are excellent.
