How far is your course

[richy]

Just wondering how far people travel to their home course.

Mine is about 20 mins drive but if I'm trying to play after work the journey can easily double.

There are quite a few courses closer to me however they tend to close in the bad weather whereas mine was fully open today.

I'm thinking of leaving next season as the fee's have gone up and they're removing 2 of the holes but I don't know weather to join one of the closer courses or try somewhere further afield.

What would you do and how far do you travel currently?

just under 10 miles away, takes me 15 minutes, journey pretty much all country lanes

have travelled a little further in the past but prefer to be closer ideally

11 mins away best thing ive done moving to it

 

[Fish]

6 miles, 3 different routes dependent on time of day but all can take less than a comfortable 10 minutes. Can't see me ever moving.

A mile and a half, roughly. Sometimes there are several cars waiting at the roundabout in between.

1 hr 15 mins each way + 5 hr rounds for 14 yearsoo:. Just moved to one 5 mins from house, bliss!:whoo:

ditto

there's one with a similar structure that I used to belong to and that's 3 miles away - but a mud-bath in winter, only 18 holes and access is frequently an issue.....so I didn't go back.

Literally just down the road which is perfect as my work is right next to it also so can skip up there quickly after work

My old course was 6 miles door to door, I moved in July close to my course which was then 3 miles max, but I have since moved clubs too.

It's around 2.5 miles from my door to the gates, and another 1.2 miles to the clubhouse, I'm sure I actually cross postal codes on our entrance drive!

I'm about 3miles, under 10mins in rush hour traffic. Previous club was about 6 miles, 40 mins in rush hour

11 miles and 20 mins from my home course, 50 miles and 1hr from my away course. Away course is 35 mins from my office though.

 

[noble78]

Less than 1 mile away

By some of the answers here I think I need to move to a closer course when I leave my current one.

There's a few about 2.5 miles away

 

[AuburnWarrior]

15 miles - 25 minute drive.

Too far really but there's no decent courses anywhere near where I live. Well, actually, there is but they wanted over £1,000 joining fee which I'm not going to pay.

 

[Imurg]

About 4 miles but takes about 15 mins as it's on the opposite side of town.
I'll move when HS2 ploughs through......

 

[stevie_r]

9.8 miles so 15 - 20 minutes - unless someone is trying to cash in their chips by jumping off the Erskine Bridge in which case probably hours

 

[brendy]

4 minutes away across Bangor,on a Sunday morning 2 mins I did play at a course years ago that was 40 mins away and dont know why I bothered.

 

[louise_a]

3.7 miles or 8 minutes.

 

[Val]

Mile and half, 5 mins max.

 

[walshawwhippet]

Mile and half, 5 mins max.

Ditto:
There are also 2 other clubs less than 2 miles from the front door.
One i'd never join, the other i'am considering.
HID is remaining worryingly silent on the matter.
