The links at Brancaster enjoys a gloriously isolated setting and is golf at its unadulterated best. The tide not only plays games with the access road, but also with the holes around the turn - the 9th takes on a whole new dimension when the tide is in and you're firing directly over water. Brancaster's timeless feel is both mystical and refreshing.

Panellists' comments: "A wonderful sense of permanence"; "An absolute jewel that's unique, quirky and thoroughly enjoyable"
