How far do you live from your golf club

[CliveW]

I consider quality over distance. The four nearest courses to me are all about ten miles away yet my home course is almost fifteen miles away. Within 45 minutes drive I have Carnoustie, St Andrews and Gleneagles so spoilt for choice if I had the funds!

About 15-20 minutes by car from home. A nightmare if I have to get public transport. Not too bad if I get the train straight through from Reading to Ascot after work.

I assume you have a locker and keep your clubs there?

Yes.

Quality over distance every time.

Just got back into the game a couple of years ago after more than 10 years out, so joined back at the home club where I grew up playing, despite it being ~20mile/30mins away.

Was hard to get much game time so had thought about moving clubs, but just moved house instead and now have a gate from my back garden onto the 13th tee!

About 500 yards from the clubhouse, so only takes a few minutes to walk up...considerably longer to walk home at times though :cheers:

there has to come a point though at when it's too far though. particularly in the summer when I like to get a few twilights in

Blackmoor definitely too far for you to travel.

I could move

Old club was 30 minutes, and even that was a chore nipping out on a summers evening. Present club is less than 10 minutes, and better quality. Win, win.

 

[Orikoru]

143 miles e/w to my home club.

Fortunate to have both tbh, 2.2 miles according to Google, or 3/4 minutes in the car

 

[upsidedown]

There are probably 5 nearer than where I'm a member but they aren't a patch on my club :thup:

 

[garyinderry]

Just under 10 minutes. Quicker if I hit all the lights.

 

[Matty6]

5 minute walk for me. Around a minute if I drive!

I wonder if I'm in the unique position on here for having 3 courses all equidistant from my house.

 

[Bunkermagnet]

Around 19 miles/20 mins garage to car park.

Probably depends on the distance.

I have four courses within 15 minutes. Hankley Common, Hindhead, Farnham and Blackmoor. Liphook is 20 minutes. Not bad choices if you like heathland golf.

Slap on 20 miles for me... too far but its hotel courses otherwise
