Need some help picking a day out :)

[SHiiBBZ]

I received a four-ball voucher recently for one of the above courses. I did a mystery shop at one of the courses which entitles me to a free round.

I've only ever played Hurtmore GC in Godalming and Farleigh and know nothing about the rest of the courses. We all play off 15-20 and just looking for a bit of a special day out - somewhere that's not just your usual £25/£30 round at a local course.

Are there any here that stick out as a nice day out?

That’s the good old 59 Club voucher

Clubs to go to are

West Herts
Goring and Streatly
Frilford Heath

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Royal Winchester is a decent day out

 

[fundy]

Frilford Heath from that list for me

 

[IanM]

What Phil said plus, Winchester ... and I hear good things about Sudbury although never played it.

If you've only played Hurtmore, most of the others are an upgrade. ( No offence to Hurtmore)

That would be my choice too.

Not Breadsall or Branston

Frilford is a great day out, I played the Red on Monday and it was in great nick.

The PGA National at The Belfry is a more balanced course than The Brabazon, and you can still watch from behind The Brabazon 18th green as groups of corporate golfers duff their shots into the drink.

You probably weren't considering this one anyway, but don't pick Wexham. They are redesigning the course, half of it is bulldozed and what remains is on a shortened lay-out at the moment.

 

[SHiiBBZ]

Thanks for the advice guys - really appreciate it

 

[Voyager EMH]

Not Ullesthorpe or The Leicestershire.

Forest of Arden would be a nice day out.

Sudbury is bang average. It is the archetypal £25-£30 local course that the OP is trying to avoid.

As you are looking for a special day out, I'd go for PGA National at the Belfry or the Forest of Arden (the championship course not the other one). Not played Frilford Heath but heard it is nice.

I'd avoid any of the courses listed as London, Middlesex or Herts. They are not poor courses, they are just average (maybe West Herts is a bit above average).

Can’t comment on many, but Forest of Arden is nice.

I don’t think any of the Belfry courses are all that great.

 

[srixon 1]

Not Bulberry Woods.

 

[Backache]

Probably not a realistic option travel wise but La Moye in Jersey has an excellent reputation.

 

[phils226]

From a West Midlands - and my own -perspective neither of the courses at the Belfry are worth it. The Forest of Arden is great if your playing that course and not the Aylesford. Bromsgrove is ok but short. My choice like others would be Frilford Heath

North Foreland is a lovely course, down on the coast.
