Through Marlborough on the road to Pewsey, turn off at Clench Common then CP half way to Wooton Rivers, that's the easiest route, but there are better ways. My fave is an old trackway, from the edge of Savernake, that leads to the CP. Don't know owt about it, but judging by the hedges etc, it must be ancient.

Played Castle combe yesterday, the course is in superb condition at the moment, I like Bowood but its a bit open in places.

At least Bowood punishes the bombs away approach cos the rough's always horrendous.

I've always been slightly disappointed with Castle Combe (bar the 2nd which is probably my favourite par 3 anywhere) for what you pay, Bowood and Cumberwell (Park, BOA - get yourselves up there, wonderful 36 holes) always have better greens.

Playing the Ryder Cup course at the Manor in a fortnight, can't wait.

Morning Dave,
                   Very true about the rough at Bowood, I played Hanbury Manor a couple of months ago and that is very nice indeed, i would rate it above the Brabazon, let me know how you get on at CM, ive booked a weekend end there next April to play the 2010 and Roman road

I am playing 18 at the exellent Highworth course in the morning......2x9 hole for £14.......tough a nine hole as you can get.
Am playing Woodlands on the edge of Bristol next week.

Sam Matton,local golfer plays out of Bowood and Marlborough,has qualified for the final round of qualifying for the full European Tour....out of 1000 odd golfers he is down to the final qualifying round in the New Year.....the top 25 out of 140 will join the full tour and all its riches....a bad second round out of four cost Martin Sell a place sadly.
Lets hope against the odds Sam can qualify...there are some quality players in this last stage including players from the full tour who finished low in the money list and have to try and qualify again for the full European tour.
