Alternative to Sunningdale. And a lot bloody cheaper!!

[Smiffy]

Made some enquiries. Eyes down for a full house.
Received this back today from Woburn.

Dear Mr Smith,



Thank you very much for your enquiry.



I can confirm that we would be able to accommodate your group of 20 golfers on the 29th March 2012, as requested.



Suggested itinerary:



07:00 – onwards Registration with Coffee & bacon rolls on arrival



08:33 – 09:05 – onwards 1st tee course tbc 5x4 balls



13:30 – onwards Two course lunch after play



14:41 – 15:13 – onwards 1st tee course tbc 5x4 balls



N.B. The Marquess is the longest out of the three courses so if you do go for it, I would recommend playing in the morning and then another course in the afternoon, instead of the other way around

Dukes & Duchess courses £125.00 per person



Marquess & one other course £135.00 per person

Yeah but he's looking a little pale... so does that make him a wan King?

Smiffy, would be good, but it's completely the opposite direction to my hotel booking! Thought the idea was to get somewhere near Sunningdale for those of us with accommodation?

Trust you to find yourself a cougar.

Well cancel the hotel booking! Anyway, Woburn isn't far away from Sunningdale is it?


Feck me. I can't do anything right.....

I played the Marquess and Duchess courses recently, and Dukes a few yeara ago and you can't go too far wrong with any 2 of them. The Marquess is a longer and wider course, with more room to drive the ball. The Duchess is very narrow and some of the tee shots need to be threaded like a needle. Dukes is somewhere in between. Food not bad in the clubhouse either, and you can hit the pro shop and come out looking like Ian Poulter, surly look and all.

I've played the Dukes and Duchess before, much preferred the latter. I've not played the Marquess but it looks superb.
I'd be up for the M in the morning and the Duchess in the afternoon.

If you are taking bets on how many fairways you hit on the Duchess Rob, put me down for none. Same number as I am likely to hit when playing with Jan in the Open next month.

I'll get back to you t'mora

I'd like to be there Smiffy, fortunately have already booked the week off work to take advantage of the first longer days after the clocks change.
I'll get into training for 36 in a day

Count me in Smiffy. Played all 3 courses and not a bad one amongst them. Played the Dukes yesterday and it was in superb nick having just hosted the Seniors there last weekend.
Marquess is my favourite.
Clubhouse has just finished a £350m refurbishment and it's awesome.

The food was sumptuous!!

That's a great price for 2 rounds and grub.......

Should be awesome at that price. Some small towns cost less. Sure you don't mean £3.5 million?

 

[sev112]

good for me

 

[fundy]

If its not only open to those who were going to play Sunningdale then would love to join you, preference would be Marquess and Duchess but happy with any 2
