How about Westerham Golf Club. Handy location right by the M25 and not a bad course. Used to hold Society days here up until a couple of years ago.

http://www.westerhamgc.co.uk/

They are doing a special offer at the moment for £40.00 you get unlimited golf, Coffee & bacon roll on arrival, one course meal and free buggies! That can't be bad value for money, and as I say, the course is quite a tester.
I have spoken to the society organiser and she is quite happy to give this deal to just four of us. I can most probably get a few mates to come along too and maybe make up 2 fourballs.
Anyone else up for it?
I'm talking about Thursday 13th February (my next day off)

Do you mean the 12th mate? Or Friday the 13th

Either date im up for, looks a decent course.

Balls!
I meant Thursday 12th February! Sorry about that.
It is a decent course, no winter greens or tees (except possible mats on the par 3's).
If we can get a fourball organised I will phone Caroline Aldred at the club and book it up. Bearing in mind it's unlimited golf with buggies included, one assumes you'd want a fairly early tee time? Weather permitting we could tee off about 9ish and still get 27 in. The 9th runs right back to the clubhouse so there wouldn't be a lot of trapsing about to do!

Smiffy,

Would very much like to play, but can't confirm until tomorrow (Tuesday). Will post either way.

Thanks for the research.

No problem Mawgan.
Caroline has given me until the end of the week to get back to her, so if you fancy it let me know.
As I say, I have a few mates who can get out mid-week so I'll put the shout up and see how many we can get to make a decent day of it.

Will let you know tomorrow about westerham, could possibly do this.

Be good to have you aboard Jon.
I've just come off the phone from Bob Eagle and he's feeling a bit guilty. He can't remember if he paid you your "winnings" at Princes the other week. Can you confirm?
I can't remember if I gave you MY fiver either!!

Put me on the list for Westerham on the 12th please Rob. I have to admit that I was a founder member there 12 years ago but have only played it once in the last 6 years. It will be interesting to see what it is now like.

P.S. I hope that buggies aren't obligatory now.

Added to the list Rog....

4 BOB EAGLE
5 KHALID SARWAR
6 RUBEN RIPLEY
7 RAY TAYLOR
8 ALAN BANNISTER
9 LEFTIE

The green fee of £40.00 is for UNLIMITED golf and INCLUDES the use of a buggie. Obviously, if you don't want to use one then that is entirely up to you mate.
I have emailed Caroline at the club and reserved three tee times, starting from 9.00am.
Plan to play 9 holes in the morning to warm up, stop for lunch and then play 18 holes in the afternoon teeing off about 12 o'clock (or thereabouts) if that's ok.

Still have a few spaces available if anyone else is interested.

Austin Lodge looks good value for money, and the player reports on it (from the GolfUK website) read quite well. It sounds quite an interesting course, albeit a bit hilly (according to a couple of the reviews)....

I think MedwayJon was planning to join West Malling, but didn't report that favourably on it.
Reviews here...

I've played the London Club, and if you don't mind paying a bit extra then it is a really good day out.

Hope that helps in your decision?

Shame I can't make it on the day 'cos I've never played at Austin Lodge and wouldn't mind giving it a tonk. Maybe another day?
