Two years ago we placed Delamere in the top 60 and it raised some eyebrows. Now everyone is citing this Cheshire woodland-heathland hybrid as an undiscovered secret. Laid out by heathland expert Herbert Fowler, it is not a stroll; five exacting holes set the tone at the start with the 5th a 431-yard two shotter.
