How far do you live from your golf club

[PaulyMcK]

I actually live on the first hole of another golf club, but choose to drive 2.3 miles to my current club.

 

[davemc1]

17 miles, 32 mins. Which is way too long and far for my liking. So I play my competitive golf there and my social at the much nearer local muni

 

[jimjoachim]

So right, this should really be measured in minutes than miles

The real measurable should be cost of taxi home after a few scoops in the bar after golf....

 

[jimjoachim]

just done a "as the crow flies check" and I'm 1.4 miles from the first green of my club but only 140 yards from the 3rd green of another club (albeit over a railway line).

Even though my club is only 3 miles away, there are three other clubs nearer to me than that as the crow flies. I just couldn't afford to join any of them! :lol:

 

[Spear-Chucker]

5 mins away which is significant to me with time being limited working the good old 9 to 5. It does mean I can pop out on a nice summers evening with the lad for a few holes or practice a little. I don't get to play a great deal but it would diminish greatly if I were further away.

If I ever find the spare cash I'd like to take out country membership of one of the great Norfolk coastal venues but tbh I'd have a hard job to justify it so it's pretty much folly I suspect.

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

less than 3miles - but have been considering what to do if we were move to Glasgow. And thoughts of whether I could be bothered with 45mins (min) drive from Glasgow West End to Ayrshire Coast have been bouncing around.

That said - Edinburgh options look better. Visited friends in Haddington couple of months back - 20mins drive to North Berwick; 15mins to Dunbar; 15mins to Gullane (wishes)

 

[hines57]

11 miles and 25 minutes each way. Worth it, but definitely reduces the number of times I'm up there.

 

[RW1986]

Around 3 miles/ 9 mins on a clear run. A couple of courses closer but not to the same standard.

 

[PNWokingham]

about 3 miles - or 2 if you walk through the woods - or stumble through them if the car stays at the club!

 

[GG26]

3 miles and ten minutes for me. There is another club that is about half that distance (similar standard and cost), but would have to drive to either.

 

[butchercd]

190 meters to the first for me (according to GoogleMaps).

My boss actually lives closer to his first tee on his course as his house is on the approach road to his clubs car park.

 

[patricks148]

151 miles each way. But only 39 as the crow flys

Do you live in Campbeltown and drive to Irvine then?

 

[drewster]

About 7 miles for me but cross country. I manage to make sure I get an episode of the Archers in while driving from home to the GC. 13 minutes exactly !!

 

[Doon frae Troon]

390 miles to the only club I am still a member of.

 

[OnTour]

15 miles and 20mins away 👍 3 summer comps a month. So ideal. Old course half the distance and 10 mins.

 

[bigslice]

Its a nice journey, company at times is rank![/QUOTEu

Aye same here]

 

[bigslice]

Do you live in Campbeltown and drive to Irvine then?

Aye cos theyre no good courses of her

 

[bigslice]

Does the crow fly over water or mountains..... or both?

or is your satnav rubbish?

Aye i wish i had a helicopter

Small world isn't it!!?

Spent 20 odd years living there, like you say a selection of courses from Musselburgh all the way down the coast to Dunbar within 15/20 minutes drive
