Which courses ?

The PGA is decent as is the Brabazon but the Derby is not very good IMO

Think Daveyboy (sic) is a member, he's probably the guy to ask

The reason why its cheap at the moment is because the place is one big building site. The new owners are spending 35 million on it and they seem to want to do all the work in one go. So expect disruption with parking and booking in. However most of the rooms and all three resturants are finished so enjoy great food but at ass raping prices.

For that price i'm guessing its the derby and pga. The derby for some reason plays better than the pga at this time of the year in terms of drainage. although all the bunkers on the par 3's are GUR as they are changing them to pot hole bunkers

As for handicap certs, dont worry. Me and daveyboy hack the be-jesus out of both courses with no bother from the green keepers. Saves them a job turning the soil over

Play the PGA and the Brab mate. The PGA is in great nick at the moment and not a mud ball in sight :thup:

Derby is playing better than the PGA Hover? You mad the PGA was bone dry today and in fantastic condition :thup:

Your golf travel are offering the derby and a nights stay for £49. £99 gets you the derby and brabazon and I am sure davey and hovis will both say pay the extra £20 to play the PGA instead of the derby :thup:

I mean in general the derby handles the water better. Pga was great on wednesday

Yes pay the £20 its worth its weight in gold to get on the PGA over the Derby :thup:

The pro shop although being one of the best around is currently almost empty as they are doing a refurb in there also.

I would say its worth the upcharge but some folk want a easyer game for a bit of relief after the brabazon. Going onto the pga the next day can make you want to hang from the nearest tree!

hi guys thanks for the info the deal is for the pga and the derby courses

Both great Courses this time if the year. I would advise you to take some old rubish balls to use on the pga. My playing partner says "what course we playing today? The derby or the ball eater"

See if you can get some deal to change the Derby to the Brabazon:thup:

On the day you can pay in the region of £20 to upgrade your pga round

It would be the Derby round would be looking to upgrade

Not sure about the price on that one. They usually give it cheep from the pga to the brab to take traffic off the pga.

Played the Derby two weeks ago, great condition both fairways and greens, but as reported elsewhere some bunkers are GUR due to ongoing works.

For 69 notes you would struggle to find a bettter deal
