4.5 miles, time it takes is a lottery depending on the time of day but normally between 10 & 20mins.

My current club has something that is not offered by anything closer: annual fees of only £50 per year. Naturally I also have to pay green fees each time I play there, but it means I can play opens without feeling like I'm wasting money on a full membership somewhere. I love the variety and value that opens offer, so I play lots of them - seventeen so far this year with more in the diary. I played my home course six times last winter and expect to do something similar this winter.

6.1 miles and 13mins drive (4 miles on dual carridgeway) its a doddle of a drive and i pass it on the way to/from work which is such a bonus
I know a few people who have talked about doing something similar but have never taken that step and done it. I certainly get it and I suspect something similar would suit me better than my current full membership.

That's the yardage shot scope gives me when i turn my watch on before I leave.....Do you tee it up or play it as it lies?
I'm hoping you lasered that, it is wonderfully precise

I'm enjoying the variety but there are some downsides. It takes some planning to make sure I've got a game every weekend. Most opens are pairs/team events so you need a pool of friends who will be responsive to the invitations. To get full access you need to be able to play comp rounds at your club as well, many opens insist on some comp rounds on your record; so it's no good having a 'home' club at the other end of the country. If I put in 6-10 comp cards each winter (easily do-able at my club) then that will satisfy most entry requirements. I submit all my social golf (singles) as GP rounds too, so I always have plenty of scores on my record. It's good fun and, for me, is preferable to playing the same course every week.

Oh aye. It's amazing how many bad golf swings you can see on a Sunday morning while you're watching out of the bedroom window right behind a tee box...
DP World tour Q school is there this week, it would have been a prime viewing spot if old Jim hadn't have died of a heart attack back in 1994.....

Currently 13.6 miles.....which is usually about 25 min. The good news is we are moving to another house very soon and that will cut the drive all the way to 13.4 miles.....that should save me close to 30 seconds!!
I'm still thinking about adding the closer golf course again this next year which is 2.2 miles, about 6 min and has a small practice area. I haven't been playing much the last couple of months, partially because the 25 min drive currently gets a bit of a drag. The further course is probably the best in my area for handling winter/wet weather......which is most of the year.

Here's my house, just by the 17th green. Usually I walk to the clubhouse from the bottom of the garden and get my chauffeur to drive my clubs round to the first tee.
