Courses in ayrshire...

[granters]

Can any of you fellow ayrshire folk suggest anywhere to join next season? Not long moved to Stewarton and have looked at Irvine Bogside, Ravenspark etc, but i could do with a few more suggestions. Really looking for something within 30 mins drive.

Sorry about the general nature of the question but it's hard to narrow it down just looking at websites.

Played with thecraw at his patch tonight- so that's that one out obviously....

Cheers

Give kilbirnie place a try, GF only a tenner a round during the week.
No joining fee, first year subs were £370 (12 months for the price of 9).
Tricky little course, don't be fooled by the shortish length!
Clubhouse and locker room aren't the height of luxury but neither are they populated by snooty w******!

I'm off there as soon as I've finished this cuppa

Cheers Stevie, will have a gander

No probs mate, if you fancy a round let me know, if not or if we cant find a suitable time/ date and you check the course out on your own then ask the bar staff for a course map, a couple of the tees are difficult to find first time out

Have a look at Loudoun Gowf Club near Galston. My old man plays there and it is a pretty tidy course and always well maintained. Would only be about 15-20mins from where you are i'd guess. Nice clubhouse and members are locals who seem to really care for the place. Worth a look!

Grant,

You thought about Caldwell ? I know its not Ayrshire but only a 20 drive, I'm always hearing good things about it although not played it in years.

 

[granters]

I don't like Caldwell. No offence to anyone that plays there, just never liked the layaout at all

 

[Moff]

Barshaw it is then :S

What you think of Old Ranfurly?

 

[thecraw]

Aye go on what did you think of Old Ran?????


Anyway Caldwell, good track good greens but busier than Old Ran, Paisley and Fereneze combined. It used to always flood at the slightest hint of rain though.

Caldwell I don't mind at all, excellent food.

Quite liked it Craw, good condition like you said but not sure if it's the course for me after the Bogside deal!

Prefer Ran Castle course wise to be honest, but you know how i feel about the rest of it...

If i'm honest i think Old Ranfurly is a wee bit too "squeezed in", but some really good holes. Really enjoyed playing it, apart from an assault by a MR J. Arthur S half way through.

If I stayed nearer Bogside I would also jump at their offer. Great course. Just do it and stop looking about before they withdraw it.

 

[granters]

Well the boss has gone to bed, i have the credit card in hand, so it's either some "Premium" entertainment, or Bogside. Toughy

What's their offer if you don't mind me asking.

I love that course.
