Irvine Golf Club

I am the biggest critic of Bogside but I would have to say it is very good for the time of year. Don't be fooled when you look at the score card and it is only 6500 yards the best way I can discribe Bogside is I have birdied every hole and I have ripped up at every hole. I have been a member for 28 years now and I love it and hate it. Most visitors like the course but it does have a lot of blind shots so the first time to see it the 2nd to enjoy it. I think it is quite an easy course for low handicap players who hit it down the middle BUT the rough is very pennal so keep it in play and take your punishment.
 
It's tough, tough and tough again but its a very good conditioned track. Did I mention tough as old boots?

My only criticism of Bogside is it can be a bit " samey" with long tough par 4 after long tough par 4.
 
could be abit awkward as well bogside theres 8 of us, is it in good condition at the mnute


Tough course FT, but you'll really enjoy it, just look at the CSS most Saturdays, my son played it today and said it was in great shape but don't stray off the fairways into the heather. Enjoy.

Sorry Bogside, not trying to hijack the thread.
 
I would like to suggest to the Bogside members who are members of the forum why don't we try to arrange a day at the club and who ever from the forum wants can join us.

I am up for this as well Bill, just keep me in the loop as to when. Have lots of holidays available for this year yet, so weekdays suit as much as weekends.

3 of us are also up next week (meeting up with fat tiger for a bevvie in the salubrious surroundings of the haven holiday park).

Could this be a mini-forum meet???/ Even of a night/twilight?

I may be working the Thursday/Friday (fat tiger's lot are at the races on Thursday) but currently free Mon-Wed at the moment, although looking to play Old ranfurly (with Craw), possibly elderslie and Bonnyton at some point.

Do you mean "and not try the links stuff". I know, I love the links courses and still have a hope that the other lads will dig deep and we go to one of the gailles or Dundonald. I also fancied Troon, but that was definitely too rich for them.

Have you booked all your days out?

If not with some of the other Ayrshire bods, we could have your 8, our 3, another few and that is some buying power. Could we all get a deal somewhere for an ad hoc mini-forum meet? Even a 4.00-5.30 KO twilight deal could be good.

Dundonald is a great track but I would rate Western higher.
