De vere golf!

[DaveyG]

Hi guys,

I'm working away tomorrow and stopping at the de vere in Blackpool. It has a PGA course attached. Do you know of any cheap ways of playing the course. I know there are those vouchers for two but that won't really save me anything.

Any help is appreciated. Also if you know of any local courses to Blackpool I'm all ears.

The cheapest way is to have one of the "free round at any de vere course" vouchers that you get when you buy golf insurance and a few others things. Given more than a days notice you could easily pick one up on here or a famous auction site, cant see you getting one in time for tomorrow though.

Detour via Northwich enroute?

Yeah but unfortunately in the tiny small print well hidden on the vouchers they are a free round accompanied by a full paying partner basically green free/ 2fore1 vouchers.

St Anne's links is supposed to be top notch value for money.

The ones in the link I sent arent unless theyve changed the T&Cs on them recently.

Ah soz didn't check the link on my iPhone I get all confuzzed!
The ones I received were a con IMO a free round advertised should be that not a free round if someone else pays..

No thats not right....

Me and a mate used two vouchers last week both got a free game if there is 4 of you you can only use 2 so they become 2 for 1

there's North Shore, Stanley Park muni, about 10 mile away is Knott End, my fav of the three.

Play fleetwood or st Anne's links.

All the other courses are soggy as hell! Especially Stanley park and staining lodge.

Cheapest way to play de vere would be to stay at the hotel, think its £89 with a round and brekkie. Otherwise, tell the pro shop you are pondering membership, they offed me a round at £15 lol

Spotted you are staying. Speak to reception then.

I have a few free rounds at De Vere from insurance - they all say you must book 10 days in advance...

ask about the residents twilight golf fees,think it is about £24

You won't get any bargains at St Anne's old links, Great course though.

If you've got time head 15 mins up the coast to Fleetwood. It's not in the same class as St Anne's but it's a very good value Links, and much better than the de Vere course Herons Reach.

De vere is a nicer course to play, but fleetwood is always in great condition
