St Andrews - 3 day unlimited ?

[Bamberdele2.0]

Making the pilgrimage and this by far seems to be the best value.

Long shot but has anyone done it?

Yes a few times.
Questions?

Would 2 rounds a day completing all 6 courses be possible?

Travelling end of May.

Yes no problem but not sure I'd be too bothered about the Balgove and possibly the Strathtyrum. I would cram in as many rounds as possible on the Castle, Jub, New and Eden in that order.

Yes, though you will be disappointed if you play the Balgrove course.

Plenty of light in May to get 36 in easy enough.

New and Jubilee start and finish pretty close to each other.
Strath and Eden start and finish pretty close to each other
Castle is away off on its own

Edit to say;
Per the above Castle, New, Jub, Eden and Strath in that order

You could always do the Castle and then The Torrance at The Fairmont same day as they're next door.

 

[Bamberdele2.0]

great info, appreciated.

How far in advance are you able to book time slots?

We are going for 4 nights 5 days so how easy would it be to book ourselves on for 2 x 3 balls on those 4 courses.

Is this part of the deal?

Also - which course out the best 4 would you play twice?

When I've done it you can only book 3 courses in advance, though late afternoon tee times should be available.
The Torrance isn't part of it.

The Castle

Personally the New or the Jubilee, though it's a matter of personal preference. Castle is a great course but a bit longer to get round and a totally different vibe.

 

[Bamberdele2.0]

everyone is throwing up different favourites which is brilliant from my perspective. Shows how good those 4 courses must be.

If you’re only allowed 3 courses in advance then am I right in thinking I can only book the rest on the day?

Thanks

Hopefully your not going with the group of cheats you were complaining about the other day, although that thread seems to have disappeared.

Hopefully the weather is good, you’ll have a great time!

Definitely won’t be doing it with them. My lot are legit honest guys.

Even with bad weather I’m sure we will make the most of it. It’s a toss up between this and Turkey but I believe this deal might have swayed us.

From memory yes.

You can book all but the New the day before….so make sure it is one of your advanced bookings to make. Would probably ensure New, Castle and Jubilee are the 3 you book in advance and then work around them. Hopefully they give you friendly times so you can get 36 holes in a day, but I guess being May, there should be plenty of time

good to see you aren’t losing the love any more. Oh how quickly golf can change.

the 3 day ticket at St Andy’s is possibly the best value in golf

We loved the Jubilee and the Eden, but hated Castle. It's a beautiful course but was just too tough for us on what was a horrible day weather wise. The rough was penal if you weren't dead straight off the tee.

Strathtyrum is ok but not in the same class as the other courses.

[Deleted member 25575]

Yes you can book only 3 rounds in advance, though when you do, if you explain that you’re looking to play 36 in a day they should do all they can to ensure you’re given early/late times.
It’s worth noting that some days there are comps on some of the courses so it’s not like every course is available all day every day.
If it were me and I were playing for the first time I’d do the Castle twice.

Ooops..sorry. No.

Sounds very interesting, what’s the deal/cost for this? Got a link please?
