The course opened in 1892, and was originally designed by Tom Dunn, and later revisions by H.S. Colt. It's home to Cambridge University golfers, known as the Mildenhall nine, and was deemed "The best nine-hole course in the world” by Herbert Warren Wind. The land is unremarkable, but the course's use of what features it has make it a must play course for purists. The greens are probably its best defense, wildly undulating and fast, and known as the finest in England. They are well varied – from the rolls of the first to the crowned second and sixth to the wild fifth to the side-sloping ninth, some have said like pitching to a policeman's helmet. Holes 1-3 and 7-9 are set, basically, in a field while holes 4-6 are stretched out on a wide but wooded avenue.

I thought the greens were fantastic here, quick, true, and undulating, but that does not make this rather ordinary course as special as I've heard it was. Just a course laid out in a meadow, without any distinguishing features, with many holes seeming the same.
