A little harsh on the 8th/17th. For most "normal" golfers - the 8th is a huge downhill second shot and the 17th is a completely uphill second shot! The 8th is designed not to go over the hill with your drive (very hard these days since they've pushed the tees back) and the 17th is designed very...

Not sure how realistic Tara Iti is these days. Nigh on impossible to get on now, unless you know a member...

When I saw the initial announcement, I was fairly "meh" about it all. But I have listened to the podcast and my god, it's awful. The podcast could have been 2 minutes. "We got a load of money and some good opportunities to film with some good golfers and courses etc". But it was just terrible...

If this gets off the ground, stick me +1 down!

I see this sort of thing fairly often, but there's just no way it's true, is it. Such nonsense. That's easily a $2000 trip (obviously a lot more now) - where can they not play in the states for that?

We played last year (6 times in 4 days in fact). If anyone needs any info on Lofoten, give me a shout.

I am a PMG member. largely just pay evenings or late afternoons to make the most of the points. We can play midweek but not weekend comps, which seems totally fair to me. Definitely treated like second class by most of the membership at the club. They have a "members facebook group" and I am...

Still on mats here in the NW at our course. Comps off turf but social golf off mats. Members not happy.

where are the very cheap membership fees and how do I get them :ROFLMAO:

Largely agree!! Can't even get on waiting lists at most of the half decent tracks.

This is the area I am in, looking to join somewhere but virtually all of them are a closed shop. Not even able to get on waiting lists!

Would be very interested.

Dornoch comps for men are more than £60. Most around £80-90. Up around £10-15 on last year. The 7 club comp is being played over the Struie and not the championship course this year.

thanks all. Will look into these recommendations. We're heading to Lofoten Links, so just looking for a quick round before we head on the long journey!

thanks - this is really good info. We fly at 4pm, but I do like the idea of getting closer to the airport and avoiding any unnecessary stress. Will check them courses out!
