I do say on one post not to expensive, and my initial question obviously mentions that the deals I was looking at where £99. So gives an idea of price range really. Yes I’d love to play Turnberry etc but out of my price range. Although I’ve played the Ailsa for £55 6 years ago in October.
Cheers
Good shout and good price maybe a bit of a trek being from Lancashire for 1 night
Lol yes I was wondering that. Think I edging towards Close House
In the North East... Goswick in the north, Ganton to the south, or Seaton Carew in the middle... book direct with any for a great price over winter!
Bill how far away is Goswick GC from Close House, remember we got a great deal there and the course was in great nick around April time i think
Thanks but ive got a voucher for YGT to use so booking those courses doesn’t really workIn the North East... Goswick in the north, Ganton to the south, or Seaton Carew in the middle... book direct with any for a great price over winter!

It's a good hour & a half away. Goswick gets very expensive once they apply the summer prices, not sure when that is.Bill how far away is Goswick GC from Close House, remember we got a great deal there and the course was in great nick around April time i think
This is all about opinions isn't it? Rockcliffe Hall is beautifully kept, as is Close House, has a modern clubhouse where you feel relaxed and welcome, as does Close House, the hotel rooms are high quality, really lovely, can't comment on CH but I expect they are as well, but for me Rockcliffe is bland as a golf course. There are no features to it, no memorable moments and it is a long old slog. I don't know many people with a lot of love with Rockcliffe, obviously Moogie does
. Only one course there as well.

I've had a look on YGT and for me, in this region, based on the time of year you are going in particular, Close House stands out a mile. There are other good places on their site, Matfen Hall, Linden Hall, Slaley Hall etc but Close House is the only top 100 course out of those, it is where the British Masters was held, it will have another tournament there next July/August, it will cope with any wet weather the best out of those, you get 2 courses in one place. Don't over analyse, just book it and look forward to it
It is a heck of a bargain isn't it? I know locals who have booked that as it is such a great deal (I know it is not always £99, it can be from £99 but the increase is not large still)
, it includes breakfast sandwich and 2 course dinner and a round on both courses rather than 2 on the filly. Amazing price
Both stay open. They don't close one in winter or merge holes etc, they remain as two separate courses all year around.I couldn't believe that it is £99 for 2 rounds of golf & accom, had to go look myself (given what the green fees rates are like in summer).
Much to my surprise it was better than that
Do both courses always stay open or do they closed one of them on a regular basis (ie. do you end up playing the same course twice normally) ?
