Stoke Park is one of the finest golf courses in the land and more recently plays host to one of the country's best spas. I first discovered the club, when I was brought here four years ago by my golf tutor, Steve Gould, from the world famous Knightsbridge golf school. He brought me to Stoke Park for a few lessons, and I can still remember entering the driveway for the first time, thinking "wow".

Golf at Wentworth is an amazing experience. Some of the game’s greatest players such as Nick Faldo, Ernie Els and Tiger Woods have all played there and the place has a great aura around it. The playing surfaces are immaculate and the surroundings are absolutely breathtaking.

The Open was held at Royal Birkdale this year which saw Padraig Harrington won in great style. The course is totally unique in that no two holes face in the same direction
