Beast of a course..

 

[HankMarvin]

Good course and would be a shame to see it go

 

[Jacko_G]

Used to be a fabulous course however it fell into steep decline and the condition was absolutely dreadful the last time I played it. Hopefully it can regain its former glory as it was a tough old beast in a wonderful setting.

The legal issues all seem very very strange.

 

[User101]

Possibly the toughest track I've played, never had the game for it.

Sell to people outside the UK and you'll get no sympathy from me.

It was a strange one though, the members didn't own anything about the place IIRC.

Why?

Would you not sell your house to the highest bidder regardless of where they stay?

 

[TreeSeeker]

sounds like the only winners in that case were the lawyers.

I wouldn't bill this as "sell outside the UK", more just as a way to highlight how downright messy legal structures can make things.

never played and i know a few meets were organised a while back and some guys i play with always raved about it.

Enjoyed a meet there back in late summer 2009. Hard course but some very visually appealing holes.

My mate got a hole in one on the par 3 over the big pond, 8th I think it was.

I played it very soon after it opened and on a few of the holes you felt you were playing in the fields they were constructed on, but even in my fading memories of the it had some great holes.

I note that I read that it was officially opened in 1987 but I am sure I played it at least a couple of years before then - maybe not. Maybe I had moved south and was up visiting my folks when me and my mate Dunc (member of Elderslie) popped up to play it.

Greens were like concrete in the early days, couldn't stop a wet sponge on them.

Nope - don't know if he is still a member - still lives in Elderslie though. DMcI
