does it matter that im a beginner? will only driving about 190-210 yards along me to reach the start of the fairway in any of these courses?

Phil

Nah chip to the ladies tee box then 3 wood from there you will be fine ;) ;) :p

Can only comment on Portsalon and Rosapenna but you should be fine
 
I have asked Ballyliffin about early June to play both the old course and the Gashedy. Prices dont seem to be extortionate including B&B and this may improve still depending on numbers :)
 
Played both courses and they are both superb ,considering its in the middle of no place really they have a cracking set up.Hope i can make as there in my top courses played.
 
Good man Chris. I have said to Ballyliffin that numbers should be 20+ it really does depend on dates as there are quite a few maybes. Id say we have maybe 6-8 good yes's so far but that will balloon once its a little more concrete.
 
Just noticed Ballyliffin GC is now following me on Twitter (I use it to keep up with Rory, Gmac, Ian Poulter etc, they have a life of it!) Following them also, it'd be rude not to :D
 
Rory holds the old course record of 62 net 66 the card is on the wall signed by Sir Nick Faldo!!!

Edited: OOPS just watched the video!
 
Ok fellas, got a reply from BGC and we have full run of the times at the moment.

I suggest the Friday 10th and Saturday 11th (or the Sat and Sunday) with late morning/lunchtime teeoffs to allow for peak performances! Ha!

This is the reply I got back and have since replied asking about package prices.

Brendan,

Thank you for your email. We have availability all weekends in June and also Thursday/Fridays. It's entirely up to you about when you prefer to play. Thursday/Friday are quieter than weekends so I don't know if that makes a difference to you or not.

Let me know what you decide and I will book you in,

Regards,

Linda Toland

Sailing from where Steve, stranraer?
Any Belfast sailings suit better? if you flew into city of Derry a lift could be organised too if need be.
 
We're sailing from Troon mate as we're there for the week me and my mate so i'm driving this year.We were just speaking about it today mate as i said im not playing Ballycastle this year on the Sunday we play Castlerock on the saturday at about 4pm so we were looking for a game on the Sunday.

We will be up there at the end of the week at Portsalon and hopefully Rosapenna,if it doesnt work out its no probs mate would have been great to meet you guys.
 
All being well, you will be very welcome on the Sunday, I was only looking at ferries on the red eye crossing on the friday, didnt realise you were over for the week.

To be honest, I think I have under estimated the initial query regarding 20 places, could be a good few more. I would like to have this tied up by the end of the month though as 2 weeks should be plenty then I can get cracking with deposits and prizes (do have a few leads to follow with this), If anyone wants to lend a hand generally organising things, dont be shy. :D

edit: once things are underway, I'll start a new thread.
