North West/N Wales/Cumbria March opens

[Liverbirdie]

I might be "nomadding" it for another month or two, possibly, and bored tonight so looked through Golf Empire for up coming opens this month.

Might try and get along to a few, and have just put down weekend ones for now, but if anyone has an interest, put your name down on here and see if you can get matched up for a game, maybe even the odd mini-meet.

I havent played most of them, so would be interested to know if the courses mentioned are any good, also.

From my own memory:-

Burnley is decent and hilly - on a par with Accrington, worth a knock.

Fleetwood - on a par with Leasowe, if you've nothing better to do.

Silverdale - quirky course, and I liked it, have to think your way round it.

Oldham - decent, worth it if not too far away, although may be still playing off mats.

Appleby - I havent played but I think it is very scenic from reviews.

Holyhead - It was frosted when I played, so hard to say, but didnt seem great.

Havent played the others, interested in peoples thoughts, especially if the Cumbria ones are worth a 1 1/2 to 2 hour drive.

Any interest put it down here, for others to see.:thup:

God, I'm bored!!!!

 

[Qwerty]

I've always fancied ulverston but never got round to it, I believe its pretty decent.
Furness is ok, some good holes on there..good old fashioned links, bit of a trek but worth it if tied in with another round.

I could be up for something later in the month mate, I'll see how the shoulder is faring nearer the time :thup:


Cant believe your knocking RFGC, Wolfys ears will be twitching..

Grange over Sands is a pleasant course that was in good nick when I played it - some good testing holes

 

[louise_a]

Burnley is Moorland whereas Accrington is really Parkland.
Oldham is a strange one, 8 holes of dead flat then up onto the moor, it has several blind par 3s!

 

[Liverbirdie]

Burnley is Moorland whereas Accrington is really Parkland.

Yep, I meant more on a par with each other as a course, i.e. both 6/10 courses.

Be up for some of these mate if dates fit in. Enough notice and I can get s bit of leave if required.

 

[gregbwfc]

Pete, if you (or anyone else for that matter) fancy the Burnley one, I can do that.
In work at 3 but should be able to fit in if you want.

You'll have to buy some crampons Mate, its reet up int Th'ills

Might be up for Silverdale.. Lovely little course, just spoiled a bit by the newer run of holes.. Great little downhill par 3 finish as well.. I'd have to check with the Missus, but I can't see it being too much of a problem..

Just thinking.. Ii wonder how wet Silverdale will be in March.. The newer section looks like it'll hold on to a decent amount of water.

Do these hills have eyes mate ? oo:

 

[Birchy]

I'm up for a few of the Sunday ones.

If it's pairs though and you play like you did at SAOL I might beat you to death :rofl:

Or play like I did at Leasowe, and we'll get 60 points.

 

[NWJocko]

Not sure I can make any of these yet.

Pedro (or anyone else for that matter!), if you're looking for a game any weekend after this one let me know as I'll be playing every weekend at some point and happy to host at mine if you're not in any opens etc :thup:

Assuming the return of the biblical rain we've had the last two days is finished right enough.....

Edit, also assuming you get you're days right aswell :rofl:

 

[Liverbirdie]

Ok all, as I say not gonna play all of them, but this thread can be used for anyone wanting to organise one themselves.

I'll assess my situation each week.

So, this weekend.....Silverdale has been closed today, playing off mats/take to the side of the rough, so dunno.

Whalley - any good?
