Golfing in Blackpool...

[Kellfire]

Hi all...

I'm looking for a decent golf course to play in two Tuesdays time in the Blackpool area that won't break the bank. Ideally it will allow day passes as we'd like to make a day of it.

Maximum we'd pay is £50 as it's part of a three day trip with other costs involved so need to keep it to a minimum golf wise.

Any and all suggestions considered, cheers all.

St Annes old links is pretty decent.

Believe Fairhaven is decent as well but never played it.

They should be around your budget.

Would add Fleetwood in there as well

 

[Kellfire]

Both way over budget and I've played Fleetwood before and would prefer a new course. Keep them coming though!

De vere herons reach?

 

[Kellfire]

Also played it before! Haha.

Lytham Green Drive.

 

[BramallMac]

Knott End or Blackpool North Shore

Morecambe?

Best bet is to go on Teeofftimes, put location as Blackpool and do a 25 mile radius search for the dates you want to play.

Old Links / Lytham Green / Knott end / Fleetwood / Morecombe

Don't waste you money on any others.

Pay the extra and play Fairhaven or SAOL imo.

Pay the extra and play Fairhaven

Have to agree with that.

I'd add Lancaster onto that list as well.

I'd add Lancaster onto that list as well.

If you're adding Lancaster then you might as well start saying anywhere in a 30 mile radius and add Hillisde, Hesketh, S&A, Preston, Pleasington, Shaw Hill, Chorley etc...

Personally, if you don't want to travel too far but do want a pretty decent course, then (like others have said) pay the bit extra and go to either Fairhaven or St Annes Old Links. I prefer Fairhaven but they are very evenly matched.

 

[Liverbirdie]

Fairhaven and Lancaster.

 

[Kellfire]

Thanks all. Will consult the money men and report back.

Thanks all. Will consult the money men and report back.

If money is tight, there is a nice little Arnold Palmer course at Starr Gate with lovely views of the sea..

In the immediate area I'd also say pay the extra for SAOL or Fairhaven. Few others just down the road would be Preston and Lancaster (both likely to be a similar price) or Ashton and Lea (Preston) which is tidy and I'd say better than Green Drive or North Shore.

Avoid herons reach it's not the best

St Anne's worth a visit for the greens alone
