Uk weekend break

[Neeko1988]

Hi All

Looking for some recommendations please. Me and 3 of my mates go away abroad and a trip in Uk every year.

Looking for places to go in May for our UK break this year. We have done the usual Celtic manor, belfry, vale etc looking for somewhere within couple of hours of the midlands and somewhere with nice courses maybe some history etc

Thanks

Alwoodley and Moortown have a tie up where you can play both, stay over nearby. Have a look on the Alwoodley website. Leeds area, loads of history, top heathland courses, within 2 hours of the Midlands.

If you want a 3rd course there are plenty of other cracking courses nearby as well.

How about Skegness,

Seacroft and North Shore two good courses.

Try St David’s and Aberdovey. Both good links courses which should be fine in May. Not too far between them.

Notts on the way there or home And Ganton to the east if you fancy it. All exceptional in May too.
Maybe Notts, then Alwoodley/Moortown, Ganton, and Woodhall Spa/Forest Pines on the way back home.

Tried hawkestone park before? 2 decent courses, the old course is very picturesque cut into the follies/cliffs. A good all round set up in terms of the pro shop, hotel and restaurant etc.

Play Weston Super Mare and Burnham... but wait till next year when the improvements are finished.
Or
Head to Wiltshire and do Bowood and The Players Club or Manor House?

West Wales like RSD & Aberdovey which take visitors at weekend

or North Wales like Conwy, Bull Bay believe both take visitors at weekend.

Or Ganton & Alwoodley which takes visitors at the weekend (maybe out of the 2 hour range, depending on location in midlands )

Played Headingley yesterday - great course in fantastic condition. Not as good as Alwoodley but up there with Sand Moor/Moor Allerton.

Like LT said play one of the 2 mentioned and a cheaper round at any of the 3 I mentioned.

Yep, suppose doing them all together like I suggested would be in the middle of summer. Lots of good deals to be had though if taking advantage of twilights etc.
Guess a bit of a mix and match with some cheaper 'in-betweeners' would probably be best.

What's your budget and when are you planning on the trip?

Wasn't for me mate... original post just asked for ideas not far from the midlands, so I just suggested a few I'd played before
