Good Memorable Courses not in GM Top 200 and under £40 normal visitor green fee, in UK

Open by any chance on 8th June? Absolute steal of a price.

No it's on 17/18th June

You may get a deal but Kilspindie and the Glen are more than £40 these days.
Here is the Glen.
View attachment 34564

We paid £40 for The Glen last summer, by quoting the James Braid Assoc, our club is a member.

Crikey, I enjoyed The Glen, a few superb holes but the rest were pretty bog big standard iirc.

Pushing a trolley up that hill to the first green is not for the faint-hearted!

I honestly can't believe that St. Mellion Nicklaus course isn't rated in the Top 200. Easily a Top 100 course for my money.

Pretty sure you could play if for under £40 last summer playing midweek afternoons.

Dunavery can’t be more that 40 quid but it’s maybe the most ‘fun’ course I’ve ever played.

Spectacular views and brilliant design.

Arcot Hall - home to rudebhouy

Gosforth GC, also known as The Broadway - relatively short but fun to play

Linden Hall, a lovely lay out that would be one of the best in northumberland if only the owners took more care of it.

Tyneside - smashing course, plenty of interesting holes

Quite a few others are less than £40 in reality, options on brs visitor booking, but the headline figure is above £40 so I have discounted them.

Another for Tyneside, had a Couple of great meets up there.

Sea houses in Northumberland has some memorable holes indeed. Fortunately when I have played it’s never been windy.

I presume that should be Dunaverty? It was memorable, great views but don't let anyone kid you that it is an easy walk; what it lacks in length it more than makes up for in elevation changes...

Thorpeness for me. Difficult enough to challenge the lower handicapper without being so hard that it crucifies the higher handicapper, nice mix of holes in a lovely part of the country and the greens were always good. Was always very popular with our tour.

One which will be in the top 200 but worth a mention cost wise is The Roxburghe nr Kelso in the Scottish Borders, fantastic golf course, various rates apply but last year times at £35 were available most weekdays, would be much more costly if it was closer to either Edinburgh or Glasgow, played a couple of comps there last year and it was mostly Gordie accents around !

Agree re Linden Hall, had my stag do there back in 2002, great layout I thought

Teignmouth near Exeter. Lovely track.

Twilight (after 3pm) is £22.50

You presumed correct. Finger failure on my iPhone sorry.

Brilliant track

Also the Wee course at Blairgowrie, only a 9 hole but the best 9 hole i've ever played. TBH i enjoy that more that the two main courses

A day ticket mid season is £35, so play as many times as you want.

Won't be any courses in the south east in this thread

Fleetwood.

Round the outside going out. The back nine all in the middle. Links for forty notes. Greens and course perfect.

£20 0r £25 if you play with a member. Would be happy to host anyone once some form of normality returns

I was a member there for a couple of years. Cracking layout, a real test, very pretty. It is a hotel course though and the hotel chain are simply not that interested. They don't have enough greenstaff for the size of the course and that means it just dips off condition wise. Even in a hot summer the greens will be slow and that is just frustrating. It is still a very good course to play but it could be more than that if they wanted it to be.

Kirriemuir, lovely location, nice little course around £20 just now - actually appear to be taking visitor bookings just now.

Monifieth Ashludie - cracking short (just over 5000 yards) links £40 in height of summer £20 if it was taking visitors just now - no visitors at the moment.

Agreed that the Burnside at Carnoustie is a lovely course but it ain't under £40 or anything like it - it's £54 at this time of year and £75 in the summer -

was impressed with Kirriemuir when we played it the Sept, would def go back, we got it for £20 with S&S.

its our stop off on the way back on our Autumn Jolley, though not last year it was lashing it down when we got there

 

[Mandofred]

I'd disagree, it is a smashing course and a perfect fit for this thread. I thought it was more than £40 but I checked your website and you were bang on .

I'd also throw Richmond into the mix. It has a good few interesting holes and I have never come away without a smile on my face.

Well, if we ever play again I can treat you to a round if you want. I think we still get 3 free play tickets with the membership. They used to hand them to us a few years ago....but last I heard you have to go to the office and ask for them.

I've also heard some good things about Masham......9 hole near by.....£25 for 18 holes.
