JCB Golf & Country Club

[IanM]

Apologies for bumping an old thread.... but a charity whose events I often play in are having a day here in June.

It isnt cheap, but it is for a great cause and limited opportunity to play there otherwise.... any interest in joining me for a GM All Stars Team?

I could be interested ? would need to check on date to ensure work is ok

It’s one of the best courses in the United Kingdom.

I can’t recommend playing if anyone has the opportunity.

 

[IanM]

Eeek. No I didn't. Will check with my contact in the morning.

Crikey...I got this when it launched but didnt do anything about it

Played this last year.

Awesome.

Unlike my golf that day!

On their webpage 100% sold out when I checked a good few weeks ago.

I'd be interested if its on again next year.

You can go on a reserve list for this year.

Also assuming they are doing the same next year/last year, you can ask to reserve a team for the following year. I did that for one of their other days and reserved a team, not jcb as already hold a 4ball voucher for jcb.

Hope that helps, information wise.

Wow, the hypocrisy, you’ve lambasted this course in almost every post for what it supposedly stands for, but now your happy to play it ??

Why is it hypocrisy? Surely even you know the difference between “Club” not Course - I don’t like the ultra exclusive “clubs” - doesn’t make me stop wanting to play a good course - don’t like what’s happened at Wentworth but play the course.

 

[IanM]

I know the organisers... I'll call and get on reserve list and ask for a team next year...assuming the have a day back there!

 

[IanM]

...We're on the reserve list, but several in front of us..... next year I am on this day one. Lesson learned.

Bump...

It was utterly fantastic. snip.

Completely agree. Fantastic.

So good that the guy we took, whos favourite course is Royal Birkdale, thought JCB was better.

Will upload some pictures later, but I think this is probably the hardest to score course I have played at. And was fairly brutal at times with winds at about 30mphish yesterday.

Service absolutely A class. The staff were brilliant..

The green complexes on the course are some of the best I have ever played, very impressive and the roll of the greens were pure.

Better take your A game if you play there, it is a hard course and almost not a flat lie in sight and a number of semi blind shots.

Received a bag towel with your name on, the best keepsake from any club I have been given.

Would like to give a big thank you to JCB who had originally donated the 4 ball to a charity for auction and the manner they looked after us was fantastic.

Could not have asked for me.

Heres some pictures. Took a lot of movies but not many pictures.

1st:-

16th:-



17th:-



On 18th fairway looking back



If you click on the pictures, I think the full size pictures comes up.

Managed two birdies on 12 and 16. On the green in 2 on 13 but took 3 to get down for a solid par Must have lost 7+ balls(3 on 18th) and blobbed probably

How good is that 18th?
double fairway across the water to a raised green. Spectacular hole.

They all are though. Glad you enjoyed it.

Hoping to play here in May.

Can anyone post a card of the course, I'm struggling to find one online.

I presume when you play in the charity days - you generally play off the "yellows"?

It's not rated for WHS, at least it wasn't when we played last year. I had a decent round and wanted to put my card in but couldn't.

Heres mine, let it slip with the bogies (larger picture if you click on it, then again)

 

[richbeech]

Don't think this is official but when I put it into my Golfshot app this is what it comes up with.

Played it twice myself, very very nice course but an absolute beast if you play it off the whites or blacks. We played off the whites but you've got to play 17 off the blacks just because.

Thanks
