Happy to go with the flow, Was hoping to get booked into the cottage before coming down to Castle Stuart but more than interested in a curry on the Saturday night :thup: Not looking forward to the 3am start though!

Please book me for the earlier tee times. I love Indian food - and a few pints as well

Speak next Friday matt - do you have a tent - still a possibility............

Re: Inverness (2) Royal Dornoch, Castle Stuart ** updated **

Matt for you:- dates are Friday June 6th to Wednesday 11th is the full trip. 2 are going Friday-Monday only, podgster may be Saturday morning to Monday, depends on what you want, send me your e-mail address. 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, which may pay for your travel/accommodation.You will not get these deals again, unless you go as larger group in the future, so get to these courses whilst you can at this 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.


This is mainly planned around 4 nights away (5 days golf), but if some can only make 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 is also available, as we want to fill up the booking as much as possible.

Thanks Pete, appreciate it. The dates are perfect at least. Circumstances may dictate that the cost may not be but I'll catch up with you on Friday.

Your loaded after your bets the other week. If you do Friday-Wednesday, the golf is about £320 (about £600 pounds worth of green fees normally), cottage will be about £120 iirc if Podge sells you his spec, plus one night in a cheap B&B on the Friday, so should be less than £480 before spends. This trip would cost you over a grand normally.

I'm happy if someone wants my slot in the accom as I shall be taking a tent and more than happy to spend the nights in the garden. Then I can use and abuse the amenities!!!!

Also contemplating (as may have a different option with Stu C) driving up Sat and coming back Mon night after Nairn if that helps anyone who wants to cut cost of travel.

Re: Inverness (2) Royal Dornoch, Castle Stuart ** updated **

BOG off !!!

Sorry Boat of Garten golf club - www.boatgolf.com, is seen as a fantastic and unmissable highland golf course, with views to die for. It is rated as the 36[SUP]th[/SUP]best course in Scotland and now we hopefully have the final piece in our jigsaw of the premier courses of Highland Scotland.

After some tough negotiation,many phone calls, e-mails and general hassling them to death – we still don’t have a deal. Well we have, but not as much of a discount as on some of the other courses.

However, we have the following:-

18 holes of golf and a 1 course meal afterwards, and the first 10 trolleys are free for £48.00 each

Normally for the above deal we would be looking at approx £ 55.00, so we have got a little bit of a saving. We could have looked at other options for cheaper, but think to finish off this fantastic trip, a nice highland course, with no sea breeze and a top rated course is just the ticket.

We need at least £10 deposit in the next 2 weeks, or ideally the full £48 so we can get most/all of the payments sorted beforehand, so Birchy doesn’t have to mess about at the time, and can jus tenjoy his golf. Alternatively, you can pay what you can above £10, and pay the balance in May, if it suits.

Cottagers – don’t forget we will need the balances in the next week, so get your balance into Birchy ASAP.

Odvan – send me your e-mail address, we have a new development.

Cheers Peter Will get money over in the next couple of days. We're also thinking of stopping overnight again on the way back down to save the long drive in one go.
