Christmas Day Golf

[carefreeant]

Hi all,

Apologies if this has been posted before, but I was wondering if anybody knew of any courses that are open on Christmas Day? Bit of a long-shot of course but due to personal circumstances I will not be joining the 'traditional' Christmas festivities this year. A couple of us are therefore hoping to find a course that is open and play a round or two on the day.

If any of you know that your local course is therefore open, any suggestions or ideas would be welcome. We are based in Lincolnshire but do not mind travelling.

Thanks in advance

Would Gainsborough not be open?

I think you'll struggle. Our course is open, but only to members as there is no shop or club open to pay a green fee. Perhaps if you find a local course, pop in and see the pro to see if they will take a green fee in advance? Just a thought.

Good idea.... Christmas Day is ok, but rather be playing golf . In Farnham for Xmas, wonder if I can get a game somewhere

https://www.teeofftimes.co.uk showing a lot open in your area on Xmas day. However, this could be because they haven't yet blocked the date off of their electronic diary, not sure.

What about Forest Pines? The hotel will be open anyway, so maybe they'll keep the flags out for guests?

I’ve teed off a few times on Xmas day. I do it in Tenerife though so it’s a lot warmer.

Every course I know of locally here is closed. Even I wouldn't dream of playing or practising on Christmas Day.

Nairn is open, maybe a bit far to go though

i think we even have a fun 9 hole comp on Christmas morning, but never played it myself still be way over the limit anyway, same as the New Years Day, back wards comp

Boxing day golf has been a tradition at past clubs I've been a member of but not Christmas day. I can see the attraction if you are single.

Christmas Day golf. Boxing Day divorce for Tash.

Why don't you head up to Scotland and try and get on st Andrews or Turnberry? Nobody will be there to stop you teeing off.

You'll never get to single figures with such a poor work ethic

I would off thought you could just walk onto any golf course on Christmas Day, providing access isn't blocked by gates, and play a round of golf,as no staff would be on duty to stop you.

Can’t see any courses being open.

But I’m at a hotel course so everything tends to be out anyway. There as always been people at the range or on the course on the day.

I play Christmas Day as the missus has time with her family. Christmas Day is my day where i play golf and sim race.

 

[Coffey]

My course is open to members only.

Remember that not all religions celebrate Christmas so I am sure some courses will be open. I would give a few a call and see if they would take prepayment as there may not be anyone in the shop but I am sure it will be playable.

That's what I'm thinking.... Hankley or Farnham at 10am?

I’ll be having a game at 8 with the bro in law 👍

It's your daughter's first ever Christmas Day. Surely you can have one day off the golf course in 2017 for that !?

It’s tradition

It’s tradition

That’ll end soon.....

This year you'll not miss too much, but unless she wakes you at 5/6 next year. I think you’ll be gutted missing her joy in 2018.
