We're heading back to Crete on holiday mid-September. It's our third year on the trot, and I'm considering for the first time taking my clubs with me to get in a couple of rounds at the newly refurbished course that is nearby.
It's the only course on the island (that I know of!) and so it commands a premium... €85 a round, which for me is a pretty steep price to pay, if you book your times through the club itself. Has anyone gone abroad and managed to secure a cheaper tee-time than advertised at any courses they've played? If so, any tips on negotiating a better price... I'd maybe play three times over the two weeks which would set me back €240 in total as there is a slight saving to be had on booking multiple rounds, but with added costs of carriage of clubs via airline and transfer suppliers it will be a costly exercise.
I've looked into club hire rather than taking my own, and over the piece it wouldn't save me any money. The dates we are going are only a few weeks before the end of the holiday season, so I'd imagine things would be starting to die down a bit for visitors and tourists.
Cheers for any advice. :thup:
