We paid £16 each for a Saturday during September last year for Kirrie via Golf Now - I was a bit worried as my missus was dubious about us getting paired with other people and Golf Now obviously sell all four slots in a four ball - on arrival though the starter's first comments were "We can give you a tee time on your own rather than as part of Golf Now's four ball booking if you'd like that"
When we played there they strongly recommended buggies (4 fit mixed seniors). The problem is that they are restricted to the cart paths in the summer. The paths are miles from the fairways and often up or down steep banks. It took 1/2 longer to play than walking the Kernow. Exhausting.
Atta boy. My kind of thinking. There is a guy I play with that comes up from the Leeds/Bradford border to play at Knaresborough. 40 min drive or so..... I wouldn't mind playing Wike...played it a couple of times 12? years or so ago and it seemed alright to me.....and closer to Harrogate than I would have thought. I've only played Skipton one time, but they put in some new holes a couple of years ago that should have made it better.....need to get back there as well.
Burford is always in good condition, but memorable? I personally think it is really bland with no standout holes
Not for me. Too easy to lose balls when it was a relatively decent shot and so the round is slow, soul destroying and hard to score on.
well worth a game Jiim, but dont underestimate its short length, it was under 6000 yards, but the greens were where all the trouble was, not so much upturned saucers, more like Soup bowls
I think you'd be struggling Paul for many of the N Leeds ones for under £40 unless Opens. Wike & Otley certainly are..... N Leeds has increased green fees quite a bit in the last few years..... Opens not too bad except Alwoodley & Moortown.
I'll throw in where I'm playing in Oxfordshire. Part of the reason I joined was that I found it memorable and wanted to play the holes again.Anyone got one to mention ?
And why is it memorable ?
Cant beat a cheap memorable course in my eyes, and will help to pass an evening away looking on golf websites
and if High Elms was a private members club instead of council owned P & P, it would be one of the best in the area.
Yep, at Knaresborough. Skipton still starts with a par 3?....the only time I played there it was a really boring simple uphill par 3..... YOWZA...just looked at their scorecard. Opens with a par 5 now...ouch. I thought that was one of the holes they changed.
A bit more south east and Royal Magpie Hall would take a lot of beating

the opening hole at Skipton is now what used to be the second. With the new holes ( due to flood relief work) it is even better than it used to be.
