Yes, I will be. Does anyone know if shoulder season is very popular for Old Course applications? Was unsuccessful last year

Really want to do this one year, just want to get the handicap down a bit so I can try enjoy the golf more as well as the experience.

I've applied twice in 2013 and 2015 and was successful with an early April time both times. They did however change the pricing last year, so the shoulder season is now possibly more attractive as it's £230 for 2 courses rather than £330 in high season.
I'm disappointed with the current pricing as previously you paid the shoulder season green fee for both courses (we paid £152 to play Old Course and Eden) whereas now it is £230 regardless of second course selected.

That was my thinking - is shoulder season more attractive than high season as you don't have to play off mats and it is obviously £100 less than high season? I wouldn't apply in low season as there is no way I would want to be playing off fairway mats.
I've just registered, do you get to choose when you play if selected?

When you apply tomorrow you have to pick the days/periods you are available for IIRC from last year(paying happens after they tell you if you have been successful and still okay for that date & time).
Cheers for the information.

If you apply high season, if you get lucky, you will be paying the £190 green fee for The Old and then, effectively, £140 for the second course. The rack rate green fees for the other courses are all much less than £140. The Castle is the highest at £120. Seems a bit harsh, should be the Old Course green fee plus the rack rate of the second course added together. It is what it is though I guess. Will get my application in seen. Played the New already so might add The Castle or the Jubilee as the second.
