Hey guys.. I'm currently a member of longhirst hall golf club in Northumberland and I don't know any members there so struggle to get a game with someone.. just wondering if anyone's from the area that I could get a game with the odd weekend.. and also does anyone recomend a golf course to join next year when my membership is up.. preferably closer to Newcastle as I live over this way now. Thanks
 
I've been meaning to play seaham for quite a while mate just never got round to it heard good things about it.. whenever your short of a player give me a shout
 
Heaton and Alnwick occasionally...


I thought you stayed out West, hence Close House. Try Whitley Bay. Smashing course. The clubhouse looks ugly from the outside, flat roof, 60's/70's horror but it is fine inside, the people are friendly and the course is good to play. I played it for the first time this year and was really impressed. I'll definitely be back to play it next year. A doddle to get to from Heaton, not that hard from Alnwick either.
 
I'm a member at Arcot Hall, which is just outside Cramlington. It's a decent course, and generally pretty quiet, unlike some of the other courses I've played locally.

Happy to give you a game there, although I have a decision to in mid-Nov soon about whether to move course or not. It's a long story, and I don't want to hijack your thread, so I'll put it in the main forum!

But if you fancy a game at Arcot over the next month or so, just give me a shout.

Yeah mate it's not far from my house I've wanted to try it for a while actually so we could get a game some time if you fancied
 
Also a member at Arcot, if yous fancy making it a 3Ball let me know when yous are going
Yeah definetly mate.. I play over longhirst if you ever fancy a game over that way aswel.. never any problem with drainage or anything I will pm you mate and we can sort a round out
 
Mmmmmmm. Fancy expanding this further? Never played Arcot. Open it out and you could get a mini meet going, 2 x 3 balls shouldn't be hard to manage. Your shout, depends on how many guests you can sign in.
 
I know at longhirst I can sign three in so would be a fourball if anyone fancys a game there? Think it's Inbetween £12-£15 for a guest
 
I'd be in for that. Have they moved over to the winter course yet? Any of the options would be fine with me. I'm best inviting people to Linden next spring now as 18 holes may be a bit of a slog at the moment as it gets a little wet. Not really bad but it does take some of the fun out of it.

I've just checked The Dawson & Lakes on golf now and you can book through them for £10 on Sundays for some decent times, between 11-1pm. Maybe one to ask the pro if they will price match, daft for them not to. Anyway, however it is done I'll be the Steve McQueen to your Yul Brynner. We have 2.
 
They split the Dawson and lakes into one course called the old course I'm not sure what date they change to that though but I'm gonna pop up tonight to see when the winter league starts. When are you free for a game?
