Tough time of year to play it, id think

Yeah. I wouldn't recommend it to be honest

Played it today. Ok I suppose. great day, course in superb condition. rubbish front nine, but hit seven out of nine greens in regulation on the back for 33 points. Still my favourite course, and the more I play it the better it gets.:thup:

Could I ask what link you used, as when I look here it say the course is booked April to October 2017 and the ballot is a 2 day thing :-

Or is this the months you have applied for or how you applied(was it via email as per the above link )? or have I missed something

There's advance booking, which opens once a year, approx back end of August. You specify a few sets of datesting and an additional course, then your name goes into the hopper and times get allocated. These are the dates we've just been notified of.

Then there's the ballot. Which is similar to the above but you get about 48 hours notice. Don't know much about this process to be honest.

Then there's turn up early on the day and hope. Details of each method are here;

Also a smaller sub ballot in January for any rounds which are allocated now for next year but not paid for!

Thanks you both for replies, that is brilliant, will save this for next August to apply for the advance bookings.

Thanks again:thup:

Played The Old Course on Monday, and it was in stunning condition. We played with a chap from Argentina who had been queuing since 4.00 am. We teed off at 12.30.

Still my favourite golfing experience, and can't wait to go back.
