Inverness (2) Royal Dornoch, Castle Stuart ** updated **
Some people may not be able to get a 4 night away pass, so it will be built around 3 main courses, with others just being tagged on depending upon numbersand requirements. The three it will be built around are as follows:-
Royal Dornoch , Castle Stuart, and probably Nairn.
There may also be an optional game at the boat of Garten, but that may alsochange to Tain, Moray firth or others. There may also be a half-way stop forthe northern English raiders in mid-Scotland either on the way up or back, tobreak the journey up. Maybe somewhere likeSoutherness,Gleneagles,Blairgowrie,Powfoot,Silloth,Pitlochry,Boat ofGarten.
We now have the following as confirmed (subject to numbers and a possible 2014 slight priceincrease) and at the moment we have the following as the highest/lowest optionsfor the courses:-
Top weekend price (2013) / Cheapest option 2013/2014
A. Royal Dornoch full price is £110 / Our best price is £65 Twilight in May.
B. Castle Stuart full price is £175 / £75 –(even on the weekend), yes £100saving!
C. Nairn full price is £ 110 weekday £ 120 weekend / ** stop press ** Now they have offered us a 50% discount which is now £55/£60 net.
Price total for the above 3,based on 2013 prices is £ 405. Cheapest weekendoption based on 2013 is approx £ 195.00. A potential saving of over £210, whichmaypay for your travel/accommodation.You will not get these deals again, unlessyou go as larger group in the future, so get to these courses whilst you can atthis price. Can you afford to do it? Can you afford not to do it, is what Isay, at these prices. All in all, with accommodation options being anythingfrom £80 - £150 (in total) each for varying levels of comfort and travel. Thereare cheap caravan options for £20 a night and various guest house accommodationoptions, to suit your own budget.
If you were to do this with just a few mates it would cost you a bomb, but aspart of a larger group, it should be heavily discounted. The plan is to collecta deposit for the golf only in the next month or so. Look into accommodationoptions in the next 2 months, put a deposit on that. That way, you can pay athird approx 8 months before, pay the rest in early 2014 (ideally February) andjust get your spends together nearer the time we go.
So if you can get a 3 or 4 night pass from HID, you want to play some of themost scenic, out the bloody way courses in our fair isles, you can afford themoolah, get your name down here.
Some of the courses normally require full payment in advance, which 8months before is daft. We are hoping to do it in staged payments of 30-40% in thenext month or so, balance to be paid in February.
As I always say, if people pay theirdeposits, it is up to them to sell it on, not us, or lose the money.
Fr iday 23rd May - travel up, play a round most of the wayup or around Inverness.
Saturday 24th May - Royal dornoch or castle Stuart hopefully
Sunday 25th May - Royal Dornoch or castle Stuart hopefully
Monday 26th May - Possibly Nairn
Tuesday 27th May - travel back, play a round on the way back or aroundInverness.
The other courses under consideration are Moray, Tain, Boat of garten andSoutherness.
Accommodation - we will have some options once we have a good idea of numbers,but it may still be left up to individuals to sort out their own, or differentoptions may be posted up. Podgster is also working on one good/cheap option,also.
THIS IS NOT JUST FOR NORTH WESTERNERS/SCOTTISH - THIS IS OPEN TO ANYONE ON THE FORUM, SO LETS SEE A FEW NEW FACES. Some of the Yorkshire/north east guys, Marshy, Chiefio? Any of the southerners/midlands?
For people who want to fly, there may be some kind people who will transportyou to the courses, but I'm not promising you !
This is mainly planned around 4 nights away (5 days golf), but if some can onlymake it for 3 nights, the premium courses will hopefully be played over theweekend.
If any Scottish just want to play one or even two of the courses, this isalso available, as we want to fill up the booking as much as possible.
We will only commit tothis once we have 8-10 deposits paid, so lets get this sorted, before xmas ison our doorstep, and balances can be paid in February hopefully. I am initiallylooking for approx £50-75 initially, but will confirm with the courses, once wehave solid commitment.
Come on then, this will be epic........:thup:
It may be October/November now, but picture late May sunshine in bonny Scotland. This production was brought to you by Liverbirdie/Birchy.
