I've played none of these either.

Very useful list . Some smashing courses on there.

Is £65 for 18 holes considered cheap?

 

[jim8flog]

I would not consider £65 for a round cheap. Mind you it is less than we charge.

 

[Old Colner]

There are many ways to get deals on green fees, I have played at Perranporth the most expensive on that list advertised at £65, it was two years ago and if I remember correctly it only cost £25 using the County Card scheme.

Yeah and Dunstanburgh isn't £47, most I've paid is £25 iirc.

While its not cheap in a grand scheme I'd actually say its not bad considering most top courses are well over £100.

Now £45 for a Cornwall County Card holder but no advertised prices for other county cards.

I’ve noticed county cards becoming more and more pointless recently, it’s another “hidden inflation” type thing.

Restrictions are becoming common such as Monday to Thursday only, max use of 1 per year, it has to be a county card from that specific county, etc, all whilst upping the county card rate significantly.

Compare it to other activities and £65 doesn’t sound too bad. It’s just over £20 per hour for a 3 hour round.

How much does the back 9 cost..

Delighted to see Seacroft at the top of that list. My favourite course in Lincolnshire (apologies Woodhall Spa!).

Yeah, I know what you are saying. I am currently enquiring about price for an upcoming trip to the North East as non are advertised, the replies I am getting are very cheap but with the once per year restriction although that doesn't really matter if you are on holiday, oh and the Lancashire County Card is free.

About £40 too much for what I would consider a cheap round.

 

[SurreyGolfer]

Surprised Brancepeth Castle isn't on the list as a round there can be had for ~£35-£55 and is well worth! Cracking course.

 

[Voyager EMH]

I see no cheap courses on that list apart from Painswick. (EDIT: and Cleeve Hill)

Leicester Golf Centre (actually in Oadby) £18 for 18-holes.

Charnwood Forest Golf Club
Coffee + bacon roll + 18 holes + meal after = £40 a head for a minimum 9 people booking - even on a Sunday.

 

[Billysboots]

Oddly, I’ve played more on the Top 100 list(s) than I have on this one. And I’ve never been one to throw my cash around.

It is....number 92

Come in number 92, your time is up . Would have been a crime if it had not been there. @moogie typed quicker

I'm playing in an open there at the end of the month for £19 . Absolute steal.

I guess these are the headline figures you get on their websites. If you are booking in advance, those will be the prices. As you say, box clever and you pay much less.

A good guide for people though, a starting point.
