Hi

Just wondered if anyone has played and has an views on the course.

It looks nice enough on the website and I've booked a fourball for sunday which works out as £16.25 each which I can't argue with.

Anyone played it?

Regards

played it a couple of times, it's only about 15 minutes from me. last time I played it there was snow/frost on the ground so no idea of its current condition. It can get wet on a couple of holes down by the lake.

It really depends on what you are expecting. It's not the greatest nor a particularly difficult course, but neither is the worst - that's reserved for Tilsworth.

To my mind it's very much a game of threes - first six, middle six and last six (which are separated from the other 12).
I wouldn't join it but if in need . . .

Cheers for the response.

It looks fairly easy yardage wise and the website states the greens are in amazing nick.

The pics of the course on the website look really mature but on google maps it looks very open.

Would you say it was really open? I've played Mowsbury before so if you've played Mowsbury how would you rate against each other?

Thanks in advance

Colmworth, especially the last six is open - farm field course.

Overall Mowsbury's better, though that odd loop is the least interesting there. at Colmworth it's 13-16 - up and down, low to high, followed by high to low.

12 is a good hole if it isn't too wet underfoot. it's the one with the green tucked in between the lake and pond. to get to 13 from there you have to follow the path between the range and what's marked the osteopathy clinic.

as I said, I wouldn't be a member there but when you want a change and don't want to spend too much

Yikes! Mowsbury being better than somewhere!!

I'm kind of wishing I hadn't booked an online tee time with my card details now!

Think I'd rather play somewhere else!

I'm playing with a couple from Rushden and I'm from Milton Keynes. We wanted a nice course (preferably £20 or less each) close to rushden than MK. Any thoughts?

Overstone Park supposed to be OK Dave, not played there though so second hand info, otherwise Collingtree, thought hats not been in great nick last time I played it

 

[MKDave]

Played overstone a couple of times. It's a nice undulating course with a few interesting holes but it's a bit more expensive than our opposition are wanting to pay.

Not played collingtree yet but my mates dad is a member. It sounds like a nice tight course which would be nice to play.

I think we're looking at course close to Bedford as it's easy for both us and them to get too.

Oh and Fundy, I'm having a couple of issues with the 3rd of March at present. I'm trying to sort them out today so will post on the thread later if I'm not able to play but fingers toes and legs crossed mate

 

[fundy]

let us know either way, be good if you can make it but dont stress if not

haven't played too many over your side (that needs to change) more up/down the A1 so can't help

Well if you fancy a game between now and 16th April give me a shout and we'll sort something out

thanks for the offer, I'll take you up on that, I only have Saturdays that I can play though.
