And a tennis court, jacuzzi, pool table......

We're calling it southfork. I think it may have a chipping area and a 4-a-side pitch by the time we finish.

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

This week may probably be the last chance for people to be added to this trip, as we have to send Royal Dornoch final deposits by the end of this week.

Let me know of any more interest.

Any outstanding deposits owing will also be needed this week.

 

[Birchy]

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

Just a final bump for anybody yet to pay deposit or deciding whether they are coming or not.

Lets be avin you

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

Scott, just confirming is it the end of February for the balance of the green fees? Also, if there is the chance of additional courses when would they need paying for if we could do them. Trying to do a budget. Ta

Hi Chellie, yes the balances are due in February for the courses that have been booked already. We will be moving ahead on booking some of the courses for the Tuesday/Wednesday in the coming weeks. We are going to hang on a little bit, in case they advertise any opens, and/or also finalise potential deals. If anyone wants to play another course on them days (36 holes in one day), we will just leave that up to each individual to sort. There are some good twilight offers, so some may just decide on the day, whether to do this or not.

I wouldn't hold out for midweek opens and the only ones are Seniors over 55 only and they tend to be Thurs/Fridays on the whole.

If you want to still go with the Twilight thing Tain and Brora both now do this after 4Pm at around £40

you won't need to rush to book though as most clubs are pretty quite after Lunchtime once all the members have played.

I imag you won't have to play much more the £50 for most places green fee wise anyway apart from all the other courses you are playing and maybe Moray old, who i think is about £70 full mid week but again you might get twilight. if theres only a couple interested i moray i might be able to sign them on depending on time i have

Thanks Patrick, yep didn't think on with there being a lack opens, being midweek. Still loads on down here, but not the populations up there as much.

The only midweek open for non seniors up here is at Brora during their festival week and its on a wednesday and is a walk or was last time i played it a few years ago.

Pretty much every club up here has a couple of opens per year, some fill up straight away the likes of Nairn and Royal Dornoch for instance.

You might be luck and get to play in a walk on on the Sunday morning if there are any on then. I think the SGU publish a list of opens in Scotland.

only issue might be is that you could find that these are SGU affiliated comps and you might not be able to enter unless you are affiliated to the SGU.

I know that was the case a couple of years ago as a mate of mine came up to play and was refused enty to a comp because of this.

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

This is mainly intended for Josh... Chiefi0 but is useful info for others in case they wish to join us.....
Oh... re 'Big Trip'..... if all in one motor, as seems likely, we'll need to co-ordinate the extra rounds etc..... its just that on the Dornoch day I've got a 'free voucher' place around Tain, (10mins away from Dornoch, & a rated track) 5pm tee, with some of the Scots that are with us.... voucher was given us by a NE'ern mate who won it on a draw. So chance for you'se to join us at a twilight rate... sorry, I don't know what that is.
I know that there is a booze up planned for Sun in Inverness but for me, at my age, having travelled that far, I'd rather play golf however knackered I am before partaking of a few beers etc...... + I can't believe Inverness is going to be that good on a Sunday night.
Anyway there's loads of golfing fun to be had over those 4/5 days.... really looking forward to it..... its so far North there'll be folk getting nose bleeds :clap:

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

As my return flight will be on Thursday please count me in for Tueday & Wednesday rounds. Once making the long trip I'll try to pack in as much golf as possible.

Presume you mean a 'Walk on' open Patrick - I've seen a couple advertised up North but never anywhere else - how do they work? Just turn up and hope you get a place?

yes it was meant to be "walk on"

The likes of Tain, Brora, Golspie, Portmahomack all have walk ons, though many now book times you can still turn up and play, but you might have to wait.
