Antone played Dundonald recently?

[Dodger]

I am thinking of going for a game end of next week as I am through that way for a couple of days and they have an offer on but last time I went (couple of years ago in March I think)IM02 reckoned it was fairly wet and bunkers were flooded etc,I cannot remember it being that bad but I have got a poor memory so was wondering if anyone can tell me what condition it is in cos if it is swampy my cash will stay in my pocket.

I played in December and it was in great nick. I thought it was a very good course, clubhouse is a portakabin though

Toad played there in the Dundonald Masters, didn't he? He wrote a blog about it, I'm sure. Guessing he'd be the man to ask.

 

[Dodger]

No lying water Mike?Aye it's a nice portakabin tho eh? Can't understand why they still aint built a proper one yet...lack of funds maybe seeing as it was tied in with Loch Lomond.

I can tell you why they have not built a proper clubhouse.

Its down to planning consent over the clock tower that they want to be visiable from the whole course. The local cooncil (council for the non-scots!) planning department are refusing to let them build anything as big as the tower that Dundonald want and as a result they have told the cooncil to shove it.

Dundonald have dug their heels in and so have the cooncil so a stalemate is in place untill someone backs down!

I would reckon Dundonald would be fine Dodger as it's in my home town (irvine) and any of the other courses that i have played recently have held up to the weather no problem.How much are you getting it for ? the 1st time i played it , it was £50 and the second time i played it cost me £25 as i was playing with one of my mates who caddies there occaisionally.

If it was my money i would see what kind of deal you could get for Western Gailles as in my opinion it's a much better course.Don't get me wrong , Dundonald is a good course but for me it's not a great course , it just doesn't have the same character as the likes of the Weatern or Glasgow Gailles.

If you are coming over to the West Coast i'm sure you will have a great time as we have some cracking courses in Ayrshire (Dundonald being one of them , that last statement was just my opinion).If you can't make up a fourball give me a PM and we could mabye meet up for a hit.

Cheers
