£90 to play The Berkshire is better value Gary. Better course and food.:thup:

Yep agree - better food and course is just as good
Is that either course or for both?

The Red. No way you would want to play another 18 after the Berkshire lunch.
special rate though playing with my Society. See thread in arrange a game.richart

West course is too much of a slog for us short hitters. Play when the course is dry might be ok, but when it is wet not much fun for me. East course is good though.:thup:

I've been thinking about that one Richard. Sounds perfect for my game!
You need a straight and steady game to score well here otherwise you can very quickly become accustomed to chipping sideways out of the trees or hacking out of the heather.

Lightweight. 36 booked in September, although lunch will be slightly rushed, sadly.
Wentworth is a nice course. In fact the East & the West are two nice courses, in fact very nice course. But for £360 I want more than very nice. I'd agree with those that say Sunningdale & The Berkshire represent better value for money and are better couses.
RSG is £80 at winter rates or £170 at normal rates & £28 for the proper lunch, and knocks Wentworth into a cocked hat as far as I'm concerned.

The Berkshire lunch is a mere snack for you.

Done it with ease twice and in a bit of a rush once (playing the last couple of holes of The Blue pretty much in the Dark) and that was even going off the Whites. Just don't go overboard on the Puds! Best Summer Day's Golf in England imo as the courses are long/tough enough to be great challenge, yet not so long that Golf, Lunch or both, are a rush! Sunningdale just exceeds my bounds for that. Swinley works well but, lovely as it is, it's still the same course twice - as is Hankley. Walton Heath Old/New with Lunch is just a bit too much too, specially if breezy!

Thread going off topic a bit, The OP has requested that as this thread is about an attempt to organise a day at Wentworth that posts referring to other courses are removed,
I'll have to do this later as I'm tied up at the mo
Wentworth comments only please chaps
Thanks

Fair enough if that is what the OP wants but it's pretty plain to see from the comments on here that a much better (and cheaper!) day out is available as an option.
But he didn't ask for cheaper alternatives to Wentworth, just if anyone was interested, i can see his point.

Indeed. I am aware that I can play A.N other gc for less but I am specifically interested in Wentworth.

Fair enough, just trying to warn you that if you fork out the full green fee you will come off the course disappointed.

Fragger, whilst I fully appreciate the point, surely some of the mentions of other courses are justification of WHY we wouldn't fancy a knock at Wentworth, as per the original question?

Tempting but I'd have to drop Blackmoor on the 12th, which I haven't yet played……… :mmm:
so every time someone starts an Arrange a game thread, its ok for the whole forum to post why they should not be playing at that particular course is it?

Well the other option is for everyone to ignore it or just post no thanks; at least the OP knows why no-one wants to play there.
