Sometimes the choice is easy; sometimes it’s not. If you are heading to a 36-hole venue, which course do you play if you only have time for 18… or which course do you play first if you’re playing both?
It is a fair case to argue that at some clubs you simply must play both courses. In England, I can give you no finer example than the heathland wonders at Sunningdale. Or, in Scotland, the King’s and Queen’s at Gleneagles. Or the Glashedy and Old at Ballyliffin in Ireland. Each sibling has equal footing and which one you play first should come down to the toss of a coin.
