    Anyone got a spare £750,000

    The closing date passed a couple of weeks ago but as @patricks148 says LinksDAO put a bid in to purchase it but the deal has not been done yet, there were/are several bidders. It's certainly very rare for a golf course on true linksland to become available and whilst it will go for more than...

    Which ‘top 100 courses’ list?

    That's very kind of you to say. Yes, all reviews done by myself so you hopefully see what I personally think are the best whereas on a panel it definitely gets diluted down (I am on Top 100 & NCG panels fwiw) but then on the otherhand with the group lists you also get the opinion of a load more...

    Another great point! Everybody who uses the site will have different requirements. Hopefully the basic/free site covers the vast majority of users and helps them find what they are looking for, even if it may require a little extra leg work. Whilst the Advanced Search Area is beneficial for...

    Both you and Kaz make some really great points, all of which have been taken on board and will/may be acted upon or at least tested... because it is in our interests to make it as easy as possible for golfers to find events. We are not trying to make it difficult! Ultimately though the way it is...

    Just to be clear there isn't a 'men only' section on the site. The "Individual", "Team" & "Pairs" sections do include mens events plus 'any combination' of gender opens (which we are seeing much more of nowadays) and these make up the majority of events on our site. You are correct that the 3...

    I'm not sure I get you. In some ways Ladies already have better search functionality on the free site as we have a dedicated section for ladies events (we don't for men).

    Yeah, sorry I saw that. I was just saying if there are any that we have missed we'd love to find out about them so we can include on the site. I think we have 99%+

    Sadly, there aren't that many Ladies Individual comps put on by golf clubs but you could very easily find what there is available in the Premium Section. There are 189 in total, at the moment across England, Scotland & Wales.

    Yes, there are ads on the main (free) site but none on the Premium Member pages: Advanced Search Area, Calendar Tool, Recently Listed section. The ads are golf related as much as possible.

    We would love to know about any clubs in England, Scotland or Wales where we don't have their opens listed. I'm sure there will be the odd handful but if we ever spot one where they haven't sent us the details (and we do keep our eyes wide open for them) we would just add them to the database...
