Matlock’s ok
I play it every other year. I enjoy it, it’s very friendly and the breakfast is cracking.
I wouldn’t want to be a member there, but will happily play it.

I only played it off the winter tees, so it was very short and therefore I don’t think I got a proper picture of the course.
I’d like to go back and play in spring/summer

Interesting course but in very poor condition when we were there.

I always preferred Bondhay over Worksop.

[Red devil]

18 for me, I think, as I don’t keep records.

Only four new ones, two I hope to never have to play again.

What two were they?

What two were they?

Sidmouth - a couple of decent holes, but overall just too hilly for my liking. We played it early in the season when the fairways were still holding. I imagine when they are baked hard the ball just runs down the hill and into the rough. Also, the day we played was really misty so we couldn’t even see the views.

Weston Super Mare - I was expecting a links course. Not sure what it is but it’s not my idea of what a links course should be.

Having played them both and Weston a few times and recently, couldn’t agree more.

Matlock is very hilly. OK if you're fit, or you have a buggy. I'm a fat knacker and played it on a day when the temperature was over 30 degrees!

 

[rystaman]

With the cost of green fees, travelling and overnight accommodation only going one way I can see my numbers getting smaller.
There are an awful lot of courses charging way above their real value

Same here, even though my numbers for this year were pitiful. Was just nice to get consistently out at my own club!

 

[BiMGuy]

Not too many this year. Only three new courses.

St Ives
Ely
On par Ely
Cambridge Lakes
Cambridge Meridian
Bar Hill
Lakeside Lodge
Sherwood Forest
Thetford
Wellingborough
Brabazon

Dunscar, that is an odd course, what did you think?

 

[louise_a]

55 courses? Very impressive. But why bother with membership? Good lord I don't think I've played 55 times at my place in 12 months.

I probably play my own course on average 3 or 4 times a week as well, the joys of being retired.
