Good starting point and a good short game will be invaluable if you want to get down close to single figures

I had played from 2002-2006 and was off 14 but had to stop when the kids came along so started taking the game up serious again this year.

A nice course when its in its prime and their are no beer swigging idiots there, and long enough to give me a challenge.

No offence taken, i only joined to get a hcp and it suits my needs, i would not join a club yet until my youngest starts school, but saying that i am tempted with the low cost of membership at the likes of Niddry Castle and Greenburn.

Both Ok but Greenburn would be a stepping stone really, Niddry Castle is a famous course for the guy losing his eye if I remember rightly.

Unsure where you live but Harburn is better than both, similar subscription but Harburn still has a joining fee.

Played Harburn a few years ago lovely cours but like you said the joining fee would put me off, most courses around here are between £460-£500 odd, so to join aint a worry but Harburn want £495 joining fee only 3 clubs round here do and that is Harburn £495 Bathgate about £500 and Pumphy has reduced joining fee to £250.

Decent courses normally have the fee and those trying to entice members in drop the fee. Tells you its own story normally.
