[HowlingGale]

Already booked. Got mach dunes, dalmahoy and muckhart. Just arranging our trip to play mach dunes and dunaverty in october at the moment.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Linden Hall is just north of Morpeth in Northumberland. Bear that in mind if thinking of playing there. Not that close to any of the other courses quoted.

 

[FairwayDodger]

Where is it this year?

Glasgow.

 

[HowlingGale]

Glasgow.

Thank gawd for that. I booked a ticket under the lure of three free courses and never thought to look at the venue. 😏

I'm going for Dalmahoy East, Machrihanish Dunes and The Dukes. Played Dalmahoy and the Dukes before and enjoyed them. Heard good things about Machrihanish Dunes.

the dunes is a great course, its a long walking course and you can be looking at a 5 hour round as there are long walks between tees. My 18 hole lithium trolley battery ran out after 16 holes and it normaly good for over 27 holes

 

[Hosel Fade]

Muckhart (ex-member), Pitreavie (ex-reciprocal), Dukes are the picks out of the ones I have played

Definitely avoid Ballumbie Castle (one of those modern courses routed around housing and is just plain rubbish because of it), Elmwood is plain and inoffensive yet slightly boring, Dougalston is ok I suppose but very tight.

Muckhart is a lively course and would recommend anyone who gets the chance to play it

daft question time

is there a possibility to buy tickets online but not go to the show but still get the golf rounds?

just that not able to make it this year but don't wnat to miss out on the golf !

Muckart has supposedly been a disaster last few seasons, my apprentice left there because the quality was gash. There was also someone on here not long ago left because of the condition of it.

No you need to collect your vouchers at the show.

That would be me. Condition if the courses has been terrible over the last two years. The seniors section took over running the place and were running it for their benefit.
Would not recommend it at all.
Now at Pitreavie (reciprocal with Muckhart ended two years ago but no one mentioned it), better condition course, BUT we have some drainage work being carried out that will affect things til May or June, so plan wisely.

Real pity that imo, I really enjoyed it when I was at uni in Stirling. Was probably just before the issues as I remember conditions always being quite good. Left probably the year before Greig noticed it going off.

I agree, didn't realise it was so bad until Greig mentioned it, went and asked my former apprentice and he said the same.
Shame as it had always been a nice course when I played it.

Used to be great. You knew the greens would always be top notch but in the last two years, last year especially, you didn't know week to week what you were going to get and then green to green the consistency was terrible.
But it all came down to the committee vetoing the green keepers maintenance schedule time and again as it meant work being done through the week when the seniors use the courses most.
It was short sighted to say the least and I will be amazed if the club exists in two years time.
