Hi All
This is my first post. I've dipped in from time to time to have a read but I need some advice so join I have
I think I remember posts from time to time relating to The Belfry and so I'm hoping there are some that may be members there
The question is how do you make the best of the booking system to ensure you can play when you want to and how flexible is it. It seems as though you are completely blind as to what is going on other than it giving you a selection of available tee times around a given time, but you don't know who if anyone is playing around you, whether it is particularly busy or whether there's a comp on etc. You practically have to go through something like a full online purchase all but the fact it is £0 to pay at the end probably the same or similar if I wanted to book a room a the hotel there for example.
I've just joined as part of a corporate thing so it is advanatgous for me from a money point of view. However I have been a member at a very active members club (still am until end of March) in the area for the past few years that run many comps and have the BRS booking system which I find extremely good and flexible. You can see all the tee times in front of you, names of all the members, sunset hours, comps, where it's busy etc. You can very easily book for you and others or book yourself on with others.
The club has always been very good for encouraging members to meet and play with others. As a consiquence I,ve mee loads of people and even when my regular playing partner (who will be joining the Belfry with me) is not around as is the case from time to time, I'm never short of a game
My worry is that I might loos e out on golf and I'm probably already resigned to loosing some of the memebrs/club feel but let me know how it goes with you if you're a memeber
One thing that is not in question is the quality of the courses. I've played both the Derby and the PGA several times recently and they are in superb condition for the time of year, mush better than the club I will be leaving
I look forward to hearing from you
Thanks
