THAT.... is a very fine collection of courses, at, I would guess, very reasonable prices.
York would top it, I'd think, at perhaps £35/£40 a man.
Hornsea the best in E Yorks.(edit.... coast) keeping Ganton out of it.
Well done!!

Spot on!
York was £32.50pp - the most expensive!
Total Bill was £111.50pp for the 5 events
Even accepting the courses won't be at their absolute best in the spring - I feel that is superb value for money.
May 26th? I'm playing that one, barely worth you putting a card in
. I've played it for the last 3 years then. Course has been in great condition each time. If you haven't played it before, I'm sure you will enjoy it. Be ready for the grin when you walk on the tee box for the first of the signature par 3's.
At £19, it's fabulous value.

Nice course although not very good in the wet. Some interesting holes with good elevation changes though not hilly. Easy access off the motorway on your way to Saunton too. Enjoy.

St Andrews New (over Jubilee) Seniors booked for August, also likely Fraserburgh & Forres same week. Braemar seniors in September. Be more to come but a few not done their schedules yet. Looking likely I won't play any weekend Men's opens again this year, last year my first time ever, just played senior events.
What I did notice last year, and friends who've also just jumped the age barrier confirm they've seen the same, etiquette amongst the old crowd is appallingly bad, I'm very very surprised

i played a load the first year id turned 55, but the next year was far more selective. all the mens events id played previously had had a gross prize, loads of the seniors didn't so after a few low gross scores i got nothing for any i have been far more selective. But back working full time so going back to mens events

It's mid May, so hopefully less mucky then. We're heading to Saunton before and playing this on way back.

Yes, that's the one! Never played there before. Picked up on it due to the overwhelming positivity read on this forum.

I’ve been dragged into playing a 4 man scramble at Ely in May. Shortly after which I will be posting in the golf irritations thread.

You must be near me. Where's your home club?

Irritated by the format and not the course , I hope. Ely is a good course, you can see the Cathedral from many holes.

Yes, the format not the course. I’ve played the course many times. It’s ok.

We used to live on the edge of the Fens (Warboys) until I retired. We could see Ely Cathedral on the horizon from our garden. I used to tell my visitors that people on top of the Cathedral used to say ‘ I can see NearHull’s house from here’.

I’m driving through Warboys a lot at the minute due to flooding at Erith.

One of the first areas to flood if I remember. I did consider buying in Erith when we moved into the area in 2001, it seemed a pleasant village - thankfully we didn’t do so.

Got Seahouses, Burgham, Hexham, Ponteland, Tynemouth, Warkworth and Wooler booked for this year. None of them would make the Top 100, but all enjoyable courses, and a mere £110 for the lot.
