Advice on course - Angus this time please!

[Heidi]

the girlies are on tour! Strathmore on Monday, Blairgowrie ladies open on Tuesday - but ??? for Wednesday!

Where should we play? Could be anywhere from Angus back to Edinburgh

many thanks for any suggestions

Arbroath is good value and a nice links too,Monifieth is a bit more price wise but a really good track,and Montrose is a tad pricey but great course indeed.If you don't fancy links my club Alyth is worth a visit as it is very near Strathmore.King James in Perth is unique(on an island) and Murrayshall in Scone is good too.

hi deke - done arbroath - wonderful course, but bit of a detour
montrose - not keen. too much gorse for some of the old ladies
king james - does it not get soggy? i like the idea of it tho
alyth - everyone loves that course - ur a lucky boy!
murrayshall - too long and soggy!

ok - from that little lot - its between king james and alyth? which one would win in a fight?

Alyth knocks out King James in the first round! Less soggy too,with great greens! I am playing tomorrow,I will report back on the course condition if you want? It is usually pretty good after rain.Monifieth is also a magic course,I came very near to joining this year!

Montrose is lovely - but again out the way. please report back - i believe its due to chuck it down again on Wed, so we'll need something that is standing up to the mental weather many thanks!

As you are playing Rosemount on Tuesday, I would have suggested Lansdowne for Wednesday, but there are very few tee times as there is a Gent's medal on. What about Kinross or Muckhart?

 

[Toad]

Auchterarder would be worth a visit, cracking course not too long but still a good test.

 

[stevek1969]

I here Scotscraig is in good condition these days,lol.

Seriously there's Alyth, GlenIsla both right across from one another,as Clive said Muckhart is a great course,i'd pass on King James as its a bit boggy just now, there's also Kirriemuir are really easy going course and Forfar all nic etracks and not overly long and decent price.

I'm playing tomorrow so can report back on the conditions at Muckhart. Designated course is up the hill and then out by the road.

 

[Heidi]

never thought about auchterarder - great name! am away to have a look at their website
played Muckart - nice course
now - Scotscraig...when i was staying in st andrews last week, two other residents got as far as the 4th and the course shut - think it might still be a bit boggy?!

 

[CliveW]

I would also recommend Auchterarder.

 

[GreiginFife]

Muckhart playing well, if tough, considering the rain we had this morning.

 

[needmoreclub]

It's got to be Forfar, really nice old fashioned traditional course, James Braid i believe, try it, don't think you'll be disappointed, also playable in all weather.

Bit further north but Edzell is a cracking course. Crieff is nice, Auchterarder is always busy from my experience.

Heidi Hi,

How did you get on at Blairgowrie today hope you had a good game. It was a perfect day for golf, glorious sunshine and a light breeze to keep you cool so you have no excuses.

Smange and I were out at 10:15 on Lansdowne and had a great game, I even let him win as he was my guest.

Where have you ended up tomorrow?
