11 reciprocals for £30 - £40 including S&A and about 45 courtesy courses which are allegedly free as part of 1906 club. However, Crans-sur-sierre is on the courtesy list and I've been told thats definitely not gratis.

We only really have the one, which is Gullane and that's gratis, but I think more of their members come and use it that the other way round.
When I was a tain member, they had about a dozen and they were at the member guest rate, but originally when it was just the 6 Dornoch bridge clubs it wax 3 rounds on each free per year, but you couldn't play Dornoch championship in July and Aug.
I think we have one in Hong Kong, 2 in Aus.We have 3 or 4, all in Australia and NZ

I forgot to say we also have the East Lothian access scheme where you can play a lot of the East Lothian clubs for half price. Doesn't include Muirfield, Renaissance and a couple of others.
Who'd have thought that?
my club is a James Braid but i think AG are too tight to pay JBS membership fees so i can't get reduced rates on any of his other courses
When I joined, this year, I was given a print out of all of the clubs and the deals. It looked great but then I realised it was out of date. When I checked each club in the near vacinity the deals are not as attractive as they were a few years ago but they still beat a kick in the teeth. In essence, you aren't missing out as much as you might have in the past.

Gullane 1 isn't on it but 2 & 3 are.
Tbh I'd rather play 2 anyway.

Recripicols at reduced rates and membership of the James Braid association so again cheaper green fees.

We have 13 reciprocal arrangements (11 within an hour or so drive) that we get for free (at least all that I have played are free to us). Reciprocals for a club are limited by each club to one fourball a week.
On ‘Open‘ days local clubs in the area will make one or more (free) courtesy tee times available to members of the club holding the open competition.
To get any reciprocal or courtesy our office posts notice shortly before each comes up. We put our names down as four balls and there is a draw - though the office tries to make sure same individuals don‘t end up playing more than others…so a bit of fair and reasonable manipulation goes on.
note…just noticed we now have a reciprocal arrangement with Rothley Park in Leics…must go check it out.
