Midlands Course

[Lump]

Anyone got an recommendation for a course for 4 lads to play enroute back home on the Friday after the British Masters.
We’ve been looking around Milton Keynes Area. (About halfway back from the British Masters and Yorkshire)
We’ve thought about the Oxfordshire.
Would love to play Woburn but the lads won’t stump up that much £££.
Any hidden gems to think about? (Condition is key)

Aspley Guise? Always a course I enjoy and usually in good condition.

Milton Keynes, the worst place in the world for a golfer unless you can afford Woburn lol

M1 corridor down there not the best for options unless you dont mind a bit of a detour. Personally would either not get that far and go somewhere like Berkhamstead or Mid Herts or go past MK and look at maybe Collintree Park (or Northampton or Northants County), Collingtree the most accessible from the motorway

Go further up and try Longcliffe.

Go further up and try Longcliffe.

Within 5 minutes of Jct 23 of M1 and, IMO, a better course than those mentioned in Northamptonshire.

How about Wollaton Park at Nottingham

Hidden gem for sure and I can vouch for that.

And only £80 if you buy the H4H voucher. You won’t regret it 👍

Take it up with the club secretary, I'm not responsible for their website

Coxmoor is probably the best course suggested so far and again is within minutes of the motorway.

Around MK your options are limited - Berko is a good shout on a county card , going up the M1 , Northampton County is really good , Collingtree not great.

Why would you answer in such a defensive way and include an email address?

It’s simply an observation that the link you provided with their prices ‘maybe’ 12 months out of date and not current!!

I'm just pointing out a course to help out a forummer, unlikely the prices will have changed much in a year.

Where's your final destination? Are you definitely (have to) go up the M1

 

[Lump]

M1 is preferred, final Destination is Wakefield. We are trying to limit the drive after the masters north. It’ll be a very long day as is.
Northampton county looks a very good shout.

I enjoyed Northamptonshire County when I played it earlier in the year, but Notts Hollinwell last week was fantastic, might be a bit close to home for you though and also a bit pricey.

Collintree Park

Avoid. Nice layout with a great set of par 3's over water. However it's by far the worst conditioned course I've seen in a long while - greens were awful. Avoid.

I played Oxfordshire a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it nice course

Just off Jct22 is Kirby Muxloe. Nice track and good clubhouse and good food.

Jct 21a not 22. Trust me, it's my home club.
