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

Can we do Skibo castle? It's only £300 each for a round :eek:

I would be interested if we can get a better deal than that. I doubt it would work but if they did us a deal the way the others have and we could get it for less than £200, I would consider it.

Anyone else a possible, for the Tuesday?

Spey Valley?

Not too far away and society rates at £55 according to their website?

Meant to be a cracking place to play golf, just a thought.....

See previous page for LB posting regarding accom.

If you wanted in on this you could have my spot on the couch and I could provisionally look at taking a tent with me and stay in the garden however use the cottage facilities.

Speak to LB direct for more information

Its £1200 for a 4 ball when they want you, or let you play. Very restricted times.

Yeah, I know, you only live once. I doubt they would, but if they done it for less than 200, I would be game.

have you played it. Mixed reviews from a few years ago, but very positive reviews now.

yes a couple of times we have a match against them each year.

I don't think there is any neg, its £1200 for a 4 ball full stop and the might not even let you on if is doesn't suite them. Its a private members club that up untill last year the current owners wouldn't anyone apart from members guests play.

the only reason they are releasing some tee times is they get a lot of weathy yanks playing Dornoch who wanted to play there would pay anything to do so.

good luck with asking, but I would say without questions it will be "bugger off";)

Birchy is looking into other options over the coming days/weeks.

We'll see what deals we get then post up options for the Tuesday and Wednesday.
It would be useful if we knew who was fixed up for accommodation & who's not..... otherwise its hard to decide what to go for.

Hi Dave

I should know by today or tomorrow from my 2 guest if we will be staying for the full duration or not. If we do stay for four nights Scott has sent me some links to some nice holiday lets for 4 that are at a very good price that we can sort out. It worked out at 70 for 4 nights. Let me get there response and then we it take from there. They need a bit more convincing but fingers crossed.

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

Hi all, just to keep everyone abreast of the situation, especially with regards to Dornoch.

Birchy is going to pay our deposit tomorrow for all the people who have already paid. Some more people are paying us by the end of this month. These will also be paid, probably next week sometime. On top of these we are also asking for at least 2 more tee times on top of whatever we pay by the end of the month.

This is for people who can't commit until their new holiday rotas are out in January. Dornoch will keep these extra 2 tee times, but people must pay in the first week in January. I think by this time we will be getting towards what may be a maximum group size that is not too unwieldy.32 may be the cut-off point.

Castle Stuart and Nairn dont as yet have any restrictions with us.

Thanks y'all.
