I'm so excited about playing Chart Hills, I've not had the pleasure of playing a huge amount of top quality golf courses in my time, and everyone I have spoken to about this course has raved about it, the sheer amount of bunkers and the replica Sawgrass 17th is slightly worrying though!

Dont worry about too many of the bunkers, a lot have been taken our recently and some don't even come into play and are just there for the look.

I remember playing there a good few years ago now, stood on the 5th (I think it is) with the Anaconda bunker all the way down the right hand side. My mate Bob Eagle was stood on the tee addressing the ball and me and Norman Porritt were stood behind him goings "sss sss sss sss" (like a snake does) trying to wind him up.
It worked. He oinked one of the biggest slices I have ever seen straight into it and played the whole length of the hole out of sand....how we laughed.

Course does look amazing - also really excited to play it.
We did The Belfry a few months back and played the Brabazon and PGA National Courses. The PGA National looks like it's quite similar to Chart Hills with a variety of hazards and bunkers. Certainly a course you need to think your way round.

I have found the bunkering on the 2nd to be more of a problem than on the 9th that you see on all the promo stuff. The 9th just requires a tonk up the right hand side to miss the bunkers

The first has bunkering up the right hand side, the hole doglegs to the right as well so cutting the corner brings some of them into play, but it does depend on which tea we'll be playing off. I'd like to play it off the back tees!

Course is pants off the Yellow tees. I hope we get to play it off the whites.

I hope you have a good round, gutted that can't play as it's No1 on my 'courses to play' list.
And YES, I know I won't be missed :angry:

Can we get this agreed before hand? Or shall we agree to do what a lot of other do and play of yellow on the first tee then on the 2nd play from where ever we like?

Errrr......Sandy is the member. We don't want to risk any chance of her getting into agro at the club. I have played there before and asked the starter if we can go off the whites and he has usually been ok. There are some tees further back...trust me, you wouldn't want to play if off of those!
But if the club say yellows, yellows it is. But I don't think they will

They've always let us off whichever tees we want. The blues were pretty good if I remember rightly

I don't want to play off tees I can't reach the fairway from.

Lets just settle for the yellows and say £1 front, £1 back and a £1 overall that's enough pressure for me
