£50-100 courses around London

[Hoodyj]

Hi Everyone, I’ll be working in London this summer with time in the evenings and weekends to golf. Looking for the best bang for your buck courses. I’m from Vancouver so used to parkland and mountain courses. I was in Yorkshire last summer and played a lot of great courses - my favourites were Cleveland, Ganton, Ilkley, Selby, Moortown. Love links and heathland courses. Prefer interesting layout/landscape to immaculate design. Bonus points if they have a good sausage roll. 
 

I’m looking for a couple recommendations for good £50-100 courses and then the one course you think I should splurge on for a once in a lifetime experience - even better if they offer a good weekday or twilight reduced rate. 
 

I’ve looked through the boards but most of the discussion is for people on short trips. I’ll be here for a few months and will be able to golf most weekends so need to keep a budget in mind. 
 

I’ll be playing solo. Don’t carry a handicap so no courses that I’d have to show one. I shoot around 90 but I’m focused on improving. I’ll have a car but looking to not have to travel more than 90 mins to get to a course unless it’s absolutely worth it. 
 

Thank you in advance! I look forward to travelling your country again.

Thanks! I’ll be working out of Brixton so I might be staying there or in Shoreditch. 
 

Usually I’ll play a cheaper course as a warm-up on Saturday and play a nicer course on Sunday. 
 

9-holers will be great for weekdays after work.
