Wales - Marriot St. Pierre
It was here that King Henry V, who came from nearby Monmouth, stored the Crown Jewels while he defeated the French at Agincourt. The house and an adjacent church form the heart of the Mariott St Pierre hotel and around it two courses were created. The first was designed by Ken Cotton in 1961 from a deer park thronged with highly prized trees that dominate the scene and subdue most of those trying to thread their way through. St Pierre has hosted the Dunlop Masters and the Curtis Cup among many great tournaments and its latest honour was the Solheim Cup between the USA and Europe in 1996.
