How far do you live from your home course

[r0wly86]

as the title suggest how far do you all live from your home course.

I grew up 3 miles from my course, and I think that's spoiled me, as now I won't look at clubs which involves a drive to. So wondering what you all travel to play

2 miles by road

 

[Orikoru]

It's a 10 minute drive from mine. I don't actually drive but if I can't get a lift from someone I can get two buses and a short walk, or even an Uber which is only 8 or 9 quid.

 

[Imurg]

13 miles/23 minutes.
Further than I'd like but closer choices don't inspire or can't afford/justify

 

[Lord Tyrion]

15 minutes drive. I don't consider that to be a hardship, it's easy. I was once 30 mins from my then club, that didn't work.

 

[patricks148]

Nairn is 18 miles door to door, when i was a member at Tain it was just over 40, my mate is a member at Royal Dornoch thats 50 miles.

 

[rosecott]

15 miles/25 minutes - no hardship as the route is not particularly busy as my normal departure time is 6.45 am.

 

[Buckbeak]

Depends on the time of day because London traffic is ridiculous. But normally a 15 minute drive for an early tee off and a 25 minute drive back in the afternoon - long enough for me to be able to criticise how bad I played in my head. Either that or about 20 mins by train

 

[Capella]

24 km (15 miles), about 25 minutes, longer during rush hour. Which is why I got a second membership this year at a course very close to my home and workplace (2 miles from home, less than a mile from my workplace). I like the course, it is very posh and well maintained, but I don't like the club overly much (because it is very posh ... you get the idea). Also, a full regular membership at that club would cost more than both memberships cost me together with the current arrangement.

20 miles, motorway there so about 18 mins garage to carpark

4.1 miles, or: 3 min walk to bus, 8-10 min on the bus followed by a 10 min walk. So let's say 25 min door to locker room. Then it's a 3 min walk from club house to our course as the course and club house are on opposite sides of a dual carriageway.

 

[CliveW]

18 miles which is about 30 minutes by car. Well worth it for membership at Blairgowrie considering my nearest course is over 20 minutes drive.

 

[IanM]

18 miles...25 mins drive...

2 resort courses are much nearer ...but much busier...

 

[Siolag]

3 miles, takes me 10 mins or so to drive as it’s through town.

 

[Deleted member 21258]

Under ten miles, about 15 minute drive.

 

[Garush34]

0.5 miles for me, 10 min walk or 2 min drive.

 

[GB72]

10-15 minute drive for me. Would travel up to half an hour for a home course but nothing further than that.

 

[jpjeffery]

6.5 miles (about 20 mins) by car.

Used to be half that when we were based at Beckenham Place Park, but then those lying cretins at Lewisham Council closed it.

 

[FuzzyDuck]

About 50 yards.

 

[trevor]

12 miles and 22 minutes for me, nearest one to my house.
