Which would be your preferred?
Forest Pines is likely to be the cheapest option, with Brocket Hall next followed by Celtic Manor.

Bugger. Please ignore..... I meant to post a poll!!
Will sort out later.

You know we wouldn't ignore you Rob.

Brocket for me, followed by Forest Pines. Celtic Manor at over 5hrs is pretty much beyond where I'd be willing to travel.

I thought that might be the case Brian, and sadly it will be for a few more too.
The more I think about it, the more I think Forest Pines will be the ideal venue.
Location is good, courses are good, and the price is favourable.
If it does end up there, I may well book myself in for an extra 18 holes on the second day together with an extra nights accommodation.

Brockett as its close .

South is better.....

I fancy Brocket Phil but I'm trying to be fair as far as the travelling is concerned. And I'm still waiting to hear back from them with a price.
I will try to phone them later.

What you coming on, a pushbike?

 

[SaintHacker]

I'd have to say Celtic/Brocket as they're both a lot nearer for me.

274 miles and over 5hrs without a stop... yes, I'd make up some time as I have a very quick pushbike, but once you've factored in a comfort break it's back over 5hrs.

 

[Smiffy]

If I'm honest, I've played Celtic Manor before, although it wasn't the 2010 course it was it's predecessor (which I understand had quite a few of the 2010 holes anyway?).
I wasn't really that impressed.
Certainly not enough to make it imperative that I drove back down there in a hurry.

 

[ScienceBoy]

I could make forest pines but no others.

Could we make it at a par 3 course? I do well on par 3s.

 

[Foliage Finder]

Forest Pines has my vote hands down of the suggested locations so far, location and price being the major factors.

I don't think you'll get much sense out of Brocket Hall at the moment.

Further and further for me.

Yep I can't justify it tbh - too soon after Scotland

If it was the year after then possibly mate but already have two trips away next year so don't want to be cheeky and go for a third

Not too bothered depending on cost and dates
