Camberley Heath, Sunday 26th & Tuesday 28th June

[Smiffy]

I will not do any kind of draw in advance, I will sort it out on the day by a tried and tested method.

If it's "show most, take all" I'll be out in the first group.

Oooops. I'm not going

 

[Swinger]

Are you ok to sign that many people in or should I bring a county card or something?
Not worried about cost but just nice to know what the green fee will be.

No need for a county card or such, I was able to negotiate a green fee of £25

Fab. Thanks TXL, looking forward to this very much.

TXL, thanks for all the information, looks like a quick bacon roll and coffee before tee off on Tuesday.

You've not got the hang of these things full throttle mate. You order a full english and a baguette. Load everything from your plate into the baguette and graze on it round the front 9

Those that will be using a Sat Nav device to find the course, please be aware that you may be sent to the back of the course if you use the club's postcode!

To prevent this, make sure you use Golf Drive, Camberley as your destination.

Those that use the old fashioned method of tracing a finger on a map, the easiest route is:

• exit the M3 at Junction 4
• head towards Farnborough (A331)
• Immediately you get on the A331, take the sliproad on the left towards Frimley (A325).
• Follow the A325 past Frimley Park Hospital - straight on at 2 roundabouts.
• Golf Drive is on the right approx 150yards past a Texaco petrol station.

Is there a best route from Liphook on a Tuesday morning Anthony ?

Do NOT head north on the A3, you will join the huge tailback at the Hindhead lights!!

• Best route would be to head for Bordon then north on the A325.
• The A325 joins the A31 just outside Farnham, take it towards Guildford
• Take A331 Blackwater Valley bypass. This way you miss out Aldershot & Farnborough
• Rejoin the A325 at Frimley (there is a MacDonalds where you leave the A331)
• Take A325 past Frimley Park Hospital
• Turn right into Golf Drive which is approx 150 yards past a Texaco petrol station

Assuming you are starting from the Travelodge on the A3, here are the Google maps directions

Just having a read through the course guide. I'm going to be in a lot of trouble, I doubt I can carry the distances required to reach the fairway on most of the holes, looks like I'm going to have to go to the range and try the driver out, then buy some more balls, just in case I can't find them.

Your post prompted me to look at the hole guide, let's just say the ones on the website are a bit old! There are several more bunkers and a few new tees now.

The new tees will not trouble us as they are used for comps only, but I am sure the bunkers will catch a few

Re: Camberley Heath, Sunday 26th & Tuesday 28th June

Just had the fright of my life when looking to see what the weather will be like next Sunday...........

Note the wind speeds!!

I think we will all have problems reaching the fairway on some holes and not airmailing some greens!

And I thought the wind was bad at my place!

Re: Camberley Heath, Sunday 26th & Tuesday 28th June

I better get some wind practice in at our place on Friday

Re: Camberley Heath, Sunday 26th & Tuesday 28th June

Hope the forecast is right for next Monday, 78 degrees and sunny, light winds. Even Smiffy couldn't complain about that.

Aztecs, if you are coming from Gloucester, the best route would be A417 > A419 > M4 Exit M4 at either A33 Reading or A329(M) Bracknell.
If A33, go towards Basingstoke, then take back roads to Hartley Whitney (A30) Follow A30 to Camberley.
If A329(M), go towards Bracknell then follow signs for A322. When you get to Bagshot, take A30 south.

I used to drive from Farnborough to Gloucester a few years back and it used to take 2 to 2.5 hours.

Google maps has Gloucester (town centre) to CHGC via the A329(M) route as 2 hrs. Let me know if you want a more detailed route plan.

Re: Camberley Heath, Sunday 26th & Tuesday 28th June

If A329(M), go towards Bracknell then turn left at the Black Horse, straight on passed Mrs Epelthwaites at no.36, left at the China Town takeaway. Stay on that road passed the pawnbrokers till you come to the Red Lion and The Grapes where you turn second right. If you get as far as the King William IV, you've gone to far. You should have turned right at the chip shop then take A30 south.
