First society break.

[Papas1982]

Hi, recently joined a society and due to a drop out have the opportunity to go on their weekend away in September.

Gonna be be two nights sat & Sunday. 3 rounds and meal.
Been told £350 all in, does this sound reasonable?
anybody played the courses?

 

[fundy]

[JackieD]

Bugger! Stoke by nayland. First round on arrival Saturday, Sunday is breakfast round and dinner. Sunday is breakfast round and leave.

sounds quite expensive to me, but don't know course or facilities

For £350 it's not bad - could be got cheaper

I've had a look on a few websites and seen it for around £270-£310. Think I'll give it a go still just for a social.
Maybe offer to look around for prices next year when it comes to booking somewhere. Think they just called venue and took price on offer.

Sounds expensive. We have just been on a Friday/Saturday/Sunday 2 nights DBB, 3 rounds at Abbotsley for £175.

Ive seen other courses at £175. Just spoke to mate. It's £300 all on, thought it was that plus £50 deposit. From all I've read they're pretty good courses. Got the senior tour there too so they've probably added price for that.

 

[Essex_Stu]

Two courses there. The constable and gainsborough. Both good courses.

 

[brendy]

Never heard of them. For 350 id be expecting top notch courses.

Juts came back from playing 5 days in Dumfries. We had 5 nights in a hotel with breakfast (nothing special but very nice) and 5 rounds of golf. The organiser even managed to get some great prizes out of the fee we all paid (£320 all in)

 

[Birchy]

Weve got rounds at Castle Stuart, Royal Dornoch & Nairn for a total of £190 next weekend so that seems a lot to me! :whoo:

Wow! I can't find nayland any cheaper, so I think they've paid maybe £30 over the odds for it.

Just maybe they've not searched market for rivals. Will see how it plays. It's not extreme amounts of money so will give it a go. Courses both look pretty good.

Did you tell them Darren sent you? might be cheaper checking that site for an idea on prices.

And think there are better places that can be hand for that price :thup:

From what I can see though. Darren's prices are B and B. We have 3 course meal. And as it's only £300. Only £50 more.
