Gainsborough Golf Club

[nikecrazy]

Hi all, new to the forum and wondering if anyone plays Gainsborough Golf Club, I'm looking at making myself a member there but the guys I currently play with aren't looking to do the same so hoping to try and find a group of guys to tag along with if possible?

Let us know when you've joined. There will be 16 of us there for 3 days in August under the leadership of Smiffy. You can get 10% of our drinks bill for us.

I am thinking about joining. The only stumbling block is how far it is from Doncaster. Its a good 35 minute drive.

I'm from Doncaster myself, but for the price of memberships around here you can't really beat Gainsborough, 2 x 18 holes courses, cheaper than most around Doncaster and better quality courses, worth the drive I think

35 mins isnt far,i travel that to my course,going past closer ones because its worth the ride.

I have been playing Thorne quite a fair bit and for the price its pretty decent. I do want something with more quality though.
Gainsborough is still a fair distance to travel from Armthorpe but as mentioned I am strongly considering it and if I dont find anything else I will probably join - even if the drive is a pain !

Where else have you looked at? We do have some OK courses in Doncaster but some of the rates are extortionate and others are just far too crowded. Bawtry is just crazy for how busy it is.

As mentioned above, I am going up in August with a group of 16 of us. Will be the 4th (maybe 5th) time I have visited and I love the set up there. Seems very relaxed and friendly. Two totally different courses, each of them have some cracking holes on them. If I had to choose one to play all the time I think it would be the Thonock. As much as I like the Lakes course, I would imagine it is a right mare when the wind is up, which it was when we played there last year. Thonock is shorter, and has a lot more trees for shelter, and is/was in fantastic condition when we played there last year.
I can't wait to go back and if I lived locally, would join in a heartbeat.

Quite a nice bloke, but he's a bit of a bandit

I like the layout of the course. Only played it once a few months back and the greens were very poor. Couldnt get one putt rolling.
Saying that in the Summer if the greens are treated I think it will be cracking
