Cheapest round of golf?

[cm_qs]

Inspired by a conversation with a (non golfing) work mate who held the view that golf was only for the rich , I pointed out that a round of golf at the 2 nearest munis to me ( Larkhall and Strathclyde Park ) costs the princely sum of....£4.70 for nine holes (£4.10 off peak) and only £2.10 for juniors ......which made me wonder...........

Where are the cheapest green fees in the country?
Is there anywhere in the UK where you can get a round of golf which cost less than a round of drinks afterwards.

Roundhay Municipal in Leeds is: -

£13.50 weekends & Bank Hols
£10.50 Weekdays
£7.30 (I think) for twilight after 1600 I believe.

All for 18 holes and with the added bonus of £2.30 a pint.

If that doesn’t get me in the ruinning for captancy then I don't know what will

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Most munis my way are £19-25 weekday and an extra £5 at weekends. I'm sure our Scottish contingent will have some real cheapies

 

[CrapHacker]

This'll be a short thread trying to beat that

Down here in Sussex, I don't think you'll get change from a tenner, even for 9 hols round a muni

Just joking my good people.

Parmo, twighlight is from 17.00, no chance of captancy with school boy errors like that...

There is a par 3 9 hole course near me that is £4.20

Pennington Flash golf course in Leigh is a 9 hole muni and was £4.60 a knock however think its £5.10 now

Aslo Brackley in Salford is around that price

Not great courses but good value

18 hole munis

Haigh Hall in Wigan is £14
Beacon £18
Duxbury £18

Not too bad

Strathclyde is where I play when I can only manage 9 holes, as a student costs me £2.10 to play as well! Nice 9 hole course I think!
Even better, it costs me £5 for £18 at any of the other courses, like hollenbush!

online teetimes and direct teetimes do some very cheap off peak deals at decent tracks,ie; shaw hill satday@07:04 for only £13.

Most of the muni's near me are £15+ a round aswell.

I didn't get much change outta that at Strathy 18yrs ago!!

 

[madandra]

I played at the Strathy about 10 years ago and it was £3.75 for 9 holes. I haven't played it since I won their Open in 1999 so may give it a go next week.

 

[krokodil]

1999 was that when the booking desk was the little hole in the wall in the main building or had they built that outhouse by then?

 

[madandra]

The new starters office had opened and Old Andy the starter in what is now a cupboard at the driving range had retired. Sandra and Margaret were on the desk and I think Sandra still works there.

Back in somewhere like 89/90 my mates and I would take it in turns to call the then switchboard over in the Motherwell side of the pond at 7.15 every saturday so we could get 2 good tee times, then it was bags and trolleys on either the 201 or 63 bus, brilliant fun.

One thing I found quite sad the last time I was up is the tree on the 3rd has gone, that feature made it a smashing par 3.

 

[madandra]

Next time yer up Krok, let me know and we have a game there.

 

[krokodil]

sounds good!

Is that because your still barred after winning their open with such a low score and your horse chewed the flowers in the carpark ?

 

[madandra]

No Dave , its because their Open is usually on Fathers Day and am forced to make it a family day

I am quite lucky that being a member of Rothesay I can access to loads of Golf Courses in Argyll and Bute for the pricey sum of £7.50 per course.

I get to play Millport, Port Bannatyne, Cowal, Kyles of Bute, Blairmore, Innellen, Gourock, Skelmorlie and others. Its just a local agreement between the clubs, sadly Machrihannish have not joined in!!!!!
