NORTH WEST ENGLAND - King of Kings 2014

Im getting a price for four courses over the next few days.

Stockport
Sandiway
Ormskirk
Dunham forest

I will post up options when I have them so we can voice our opinions/preferences. :thup:
 
Ormskirk is a hidden gem played it twice last being about 5yrs ago but both times wer during the summer so not sure what they have in place for the winter but definately recommend for summer.

The only problem might be that most inland courses don't go back on fairways until the start of the season..
Im sure Theres others, but the only ones I can think of that have fairways on in march are Pleasington Clitheroe Bolton Delamere and possibly Manchester.

I will be checking this when I enquire as I would like assurances before we book anywhere.

Manchester are on mats until end of March when I was discussing possible membership with them.
 
Doubt it, given proximity to Southerness trip (and being my Birthday weekend) :mmm:

Well up for a reconnaissance mission if in December

I know a lovely links course on the Fylde coast, I can't quite remember the name of it other than it starts with F and ends with Wood. Some say its an acquired taste though.. I think Bluewolf has played it also..I'm sure he said he enjoyed it :whistle:

You do seem to have a bizarre love for the Fleetwood links mate. You must like the locals up there.. Do you have a Banjo? If so, you'd fit right in....:whistle:

Always up for a knock at Fleetwood mate, I'll probably do the opens there in the new year but if you can't make them I can get up there most weekends :thup:
 
Hi Birchycool

Cheers

I'm in subject to LFC's game against Spuds being changed to the Sunday, or will have to work around the KO time. Good reputation, not sure of the condition, but "Ormskirk GC" is supposed to be a fine parkland course. And no-one's been there, apart from probably Junior on a corporate jaunt...;)

Unfortunately not managed to scratch my Ormskirk itch yet !!!

Never heard a bad thing about the place though. Uber-exclusive membership and hard to become a member off by all accounts.

As it's March, I'd stick to the sand-based courses as some have said. S&A, SAOL...maybe even throw Conwy in the mix if people are willing to travel a bit. Also, a course that I played last Winter, and really enjoyed was Mere (not sand based btw). I played it in pretty bad conditions and it drained really well. Used for open qualifying too.

Was looking @ the opens but seem to remember all on weekdays. Start a new job in january, unlikely to be able to play as much during the week, so may have to be weekends.

Also curious about Blackpool North Shore. Been there?

Sounds like it!!

Is it we'll looked after? Decent links golf?

It's link golf.....

I would avoid it tbh, just a big open field of a course. Fleetwood is no Birkdale but a much, much better course than north shore (in my view of course). Fleetwood you get the added attraction of the recreated Berlin Wall to keep you company :thup:
