I have been putting some thought into this and it has not been easy coming up with a decent venue.
Original plan had been a double bill of Muni courses in Peterborough, Thorpe Wood and Orton Meadows but congestion at Thorpe Wood and 5 hour plus rounds ended that idea.
The next thought was a Grantham double bill of Stoke Rochford and Belton Park. Problem here is that I can only really do this at the weekend at the moment and both only take members and guests on Saturdays and Sundays. Also not confident of getting on at Belton as I am not a member and suspect that it would be full society rates at Stoke.
Next option would be a resort course, either Greetham Valley or Belton Woods. Problem here is cost. Not likely to get a deal so looking at full daily rate. Both do have 2 courses though so remain an option but not a cheap one.
So,after that long diatribe about the options I have discarded, I have come up with one possible proposal but wanted an idea of interest before I start putting details in place. The thought at the moment is Rutland Water, a course I know well. The club has a challenging and interesting par 3 course then a good full 18 hole course. I would suggest a par 3 comp in the morning to warm up (perhaps with reduced club numbers) then a full 18 after that.

The pro up there is very accomodating so I may be able to get a decent price on the 2 rounds plus the usual bacon roll and coffee.
Anyway, post if you are interested in general and I will then make an approach with rough numbers.
