Kent winter meet up

[GOLFBALL_WHACKER_GUY]

Pedham is in great nick this time of year, or Birchwood, both in Swanley

 

[mashleyR7]

I've played Pedlham before and would want somewhere nicer, this is a birthday treat for me afterall Never heard of Birchwood.

Any other suggestions people?

 

[mashleyR7]

Princes for £60 with breakfast sounds good! What do people think?

 

[mashleyR7]

How about Kings Hill, I've played there and liked it. Anyone played Knole Park, Nizels or Kent & Surrey?

Haven't played Kingshill but I really want to, would be good to as from what I've seen when going to a demo day there, the drainage is exceptional and ideal for this time of year.

Played Nizels love the course and clubhouse but I'd avoid in winter as can get very soft underfoot and if its wet will not be ideal for playing. Kent and Surrey never played but heard good things about it.

The drainage is good at Kings Hill. The course is not bad either.

 

[Dorian]

My only preference is minimal cost!

I've also heard very good things about Kingshill.

I've been having lessons at Kingshill and played there a few times over the last few years. I didn't like it at first but certainly warmed to it after a couple of games there

Are you having lessons with Ben Blackburn?

 

[Sandy]

I'd like Pedham or Kingshill (Princes can be bleak at this time of year...but dry!) - shall I check for availability? Need to get something booked I think...

 

[mashleyR7]

Sandy, if you dont mind please. I'm busy all day today. Princes and Kingshill. Kingshill better on costs though.

 

[chrisd]

Are you having lessons with Ben Blackburn?

No, I have had 3 x 1 hours with Paul Page and I'm really happy with the results - not least 'cos MashleyR7 had to pay me out this week after a sound spanking!

 

[Sandy]

Yep - am onto it, have asked for 2/3 fourball slots about 9.30. will let you know availability and prices for both Kings Hill and Princes asap. I'd still keep Pedham as a possible though if these don't work out?

 

[Sandy]

Ok we have a decision now;
Kings Hill - would have to be 12.00 start - could meet earlier for a sarnie (haven't included in price) course drains nicely so guaranteed dry (well the ground anyway...) Should be £45 but Ben the pro has done us a nice deal for £30 per person.
Princes - meet at 8.30 for full English, tee at 9.30, Shore and Dunes combo. £45 which is also a v. good deal.
Votes please gentlemen - soon as poss please - also if anybody else wants to come and play say now....Hope that's okay mashley?

 

[mashleyR7]

Brilliant work.

I'm happy with either tbh. The Princes deal looks a cracker, but I know Kings Hill will offer a little bit better protection from the elements, but hey thats whats links golf is isn't it? I'll go for Princes

 

[GOLFBALL_WHACKER_GUY]

I'd rather Kings hill, nice and central

This will be my first game and I'm not expecting to get a decent score. So put me down as indifferent!
