Midland golf challenge 2018

[OnTour]

Opened today and with the wife working the week of the EDEN trophy I've jumped into the MC instead.

Anyone from the forum playing this year?

Entry in, excited already #HurryHurry

Sorry thought it was a known event 😱

 

[Bigfoot]

I have played in it and it is a great opportunity to play three great courses at the height of the summer - all in good condition.

Well worth playing.

Looks a tad expensive.

It is imo, I prefer the northern ones more that feature Moortown, Ganton Lindtick and other quality heathland courses up that neck of the woods.

£57 a day no accommodation and local, my other option was http://www.golfempire.co.uk/features/south-wales-links-championship.htm

Petrol, accommodation, entry a lot more. I've not played little Aston or beau desert so a one of treat.

Links on other events ? Moortown

And yet the Yorkshire event is more expensive.

No doubt because the quality of the courses is twofold.

Ryder Cup heathland course/s Vs Midland Parkland courses 🤔

2019 sorted then 👍 http://yorkshirechallenge.co.uk

£60 odd pound a round is fine with me, especially being a comp. Factor in travel and accommodation works out quiet a bit more expensive. But you pays your money and you only live once 👍

Here is another one :-

Never realised there were so many of these kind of events that take place. Thanks for the links above:thup: .

The Midlands one for Little Aston/Beau/Blackwell I thought was not bad value when compared to green fees rates, but compared to their opens(£45 a head iirc) or reciprocal rates are quite expensive, Little Aston and Beau are great courses, never played Blackwell.

This one flies under the radar but is very well organised from what I hear.

 

[shortgame]

Beau Desert is a great track (definitely heathland not parkland!)

Little Aston is of similar standard but parkland and not my cup of tea (talk about stuffy)

I hear Blackwell is immaculate and very very private, so sounds like a good way to get to play it

 

[Bigfoot]

This is one of the best ways to play Blackwell and it has a par 3 that Bobby Jones took as inspiration to create the 12th at Augusta.

All about opinions.

I have never played Ganton, Moortown is very good but it wouldn't bother me if I never play Lindricl again. Overrated course and a truly pretentious club.

Never heard Beau Desert described as parkland. Little Aston is one of the finest parkland tracks in England. My opinion of Blackwell is similar to the one I have of Lindrick.

Got the 9 days to go email and BLACKWELL long socks it's 2018 are long socks really needed in 25+ degree heat, I'm not wearign shorts for fashion more to cool down.

Next Wednesday looking forward to all 3 and trousers for Thursday ( I guess that's what they want right? don't need another telling off.

There is also one of these events in the Midlands called the Heathland Golf Classic. It's played over Notts, Sherwood & Lindrick.
I don't know prices, and think you are too late for the 2018 edition, but it may be worth looking at for those that prefer the heathland courses to Parkland, and it's pretty handy for those living in the Midlands.
