GlenRiddle (Man O'War)
Glenriddle Golf Club is home to two 18-hole championship golf courses, the well-rated and pleasantly testing Man O'War and War Admiral layouts.
Like its sibling, the Man O'War course is a tree-lined and open links-style course that should not disappoint, with many attractive features and several excellent holes to enjoy. Man O’War occupies the westerly portion of GlenRiddle, and is characterised by an open, windswept links-style golf course. The golfer faces challenges often found in the links of Britain and Ireland, including large greens, double fairways and plenty of pot menacing bunkers.
The historic racetrack used to train champion thoroughbreds is utilized as a strategic hazard on three holes. Plenty of golfing challenge, a well-crafted design and usually good upkeep all contribute to the appeal of this course. One to include on your play list if you are in the area.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.
Non-metal spike facility. Walking permitted. Golf carts are fitted with GPS.
Excellent (incl a double-ended driving range).
GlenRiddle Golf Club occupies what was formerly the famous Riddle Farm, a large and prestigious horse farm owned by wealthy textile merchant, Samuel D. Riddle (1861-1951). The Thoroughbred horses bred and trained at Riddle Farm, horses like Man O' War (nicknamed "Big Red"), War Admiral (Man o' War's son), Crusader, War Relic, American Flag and Seabiscuit (Man o' War's grandson), are credited with changing the history of American horse racing.
In addition to the mansion and large stable block (now the clubhouse and home to a Ruth's Chris Steak House), the farm had a racing oval for training the horses. Many artefacts from the racing days can be found throughout the buildings, and around the golf course.
GlenRiddle Golf Club is a member of the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary System and the Ruark Golf group.
Presidents Cup: Geoff Ogilvy’s International Team take on Brandt Snedeker’s USA Team at the revered Medinah Country Club, near Chicago. The Internationals are trying to halt a run of 11 consecutive American wins. (Sept 24-27).
French Open: Continental Europe’s oldest national championship, dating from 1906, is once again staged on the Albatros Course at Le Golf National, near Paris. Defending champion is America’s Michael Kim. (Sept 24-27).
Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
The Dutch: "It's no' just a game", as they say in Scotland, and that's certainly true at The Dutch. With 5-star services throughout, a lavishly comfortable Loch Lomond-inspired clubhouse, and a superbly designed and presented golf course, one could not ask for more from this top-end private club.
