After the success (again) of this years ICC in Co. Cavan it's time to start making some plans for next years.
I've been looking at a few options over the last couple of weeks and after chatting to a couple of regulars as well as hotels and golf courses I've come up with the following which I believe offers us great value for money as well as playing three great and highly recommended courses.
Friday 3rd July meet at and play Seapoint G.C
Then after our round make our way into Kells to the Headfort Arms Hotel where we will have 2 nights B&B as well as an evening meal.
Saturday 4th July play Headfort Old Course then dinner in the hotel in the evening
Sunday 5th July play Headfort New Course
All courses come highly recommended and rate as high as any we played last year which I'm sure the guys who were there will tell you were all top quality golf courses.
I can get us this at a maximum cost of €230 (at today's rate £180) which for three rounds of golf as well as two nights B&B and an evening meal in the hotel is going to be hard to beat.
Individual green fee prices (2014) for the three courses are €40, €65 & €70 so €175 to play these courses as a visitor so add in 2 nights B&B and an evening dinner in a hotel and €230 is indeed a very good price.

Hotel

I have provisionally booked 5 twin rooms in the hotel to cover the usual suspects but can easily up the number of rooms if we have more interested. They will hold these for me for a couple of weeks, they are very busy and this is the only weekend in July they have availability.
This is purely an option and if anyone else can come up with something which appeals to the masses more then get it posted on here but I think we will find this deal hard to beat.
If we decide to go ahead with this I will need €50 per head before the end of this year as they need deposits paid in January.
As usual the more the merrier and thanks to Gibbo and Phil for putting in the effort to get over to this years and I'm sure they will agree it is indeed a good weekends golf and craic so would be great to see more faces from the mainland over and hopefully all the guys over here will again be up for it.
so guys, let's hear what you think and if you are happy with this deal or have something else you would prefer.
