Thornbury, North of Bristol.. lots of places have similar...another is Portmore in Devon
so, a full 18 hole and a par 3 18 hole?
none?
most people suggested 18 hole and a par 3 9 hole
but we definately looking for full 18 and pqr 3 18
anyone help
cheers
I've been to several places that have a 9-hole par 3 course attached. I've never seen anybody playing on the par 3 course and I have never done so either.
What is the point of them?
When playing a normal 18 holes, once you are within striking distance of the green, you are playing a par 3.
Effectively 18 par 3s every time.
All three are true.Generally easier
Good for beginners
Fun
Sysonby Acres in Melton Mowbray, then a few minutes drive to Melton Mowbray Golf Club,
All three are true.
But accessibility with particular regard to cost for the very early beginners is rarely at a suitable level.
From personal experience, I believe pitch-and-putt, with holes varying from 40 to 100 yards fits the above 3 criteria and the costs can be kept down to increase participation.
But good quality pitch and putt courses are very rare in this country.
For many experienced golfers, the experience of a game of pitch and putt shows them where most of their weakness are and what they need to do to lower their handicap.
Many are truly scared of a game of pitch and putt. This is why I think it is a great game. It really does show the difference between good skilful golfers and poor ones.
Nine standard length par-3s though, no big deal and a bit of a waste of space and waste of maintenance cost as an add-on to a 18, 27 or 36 hole complex.
I have discussed this with many folks, so I already know that a huge majority disagree with me.
