KINGSWOOD G&CC, SURREY

Architect: James Braid (1920s).

Yardage: 6,589-6,954 (par 72).

Green fees: £50 midweek, from £65 weekends.

In a nutshell… One of Braid’s finest parkland designs has been toughened up following a £500,000 upgrade carried out by leading modern architect Howard Swan. You’ll love that… It’s something of a hidden gem even though it’s hosted three Ladies European Opens and Senior Open qualifying in 2011. The stretch from 14 to 16 has been dubbed “Murder Mile” so beware…
