I am not interested in why you don't want to play there. I know how much it costs and it not an issue.

he's asking if anyone wanted to play there, if you didn't you could take your own advice and just ignore?

I think you'll find it is called passing on advice/experience, one of the good things about this forum. As you can see, many people (myself included) have played the course and many of it's peer courses in the area and we are just trying to advise that you can have a better day out for less money.
I guess the alternative is we say nothing, you fork out a king's ransom then post on here saying what a waste of money it is. Bet you'd feel good afterwards when we all say 'we could have told you that'

Yes I very much like the bit where you say nothing. And the fee at Wentworth is a few hundred quid, thats not what i would class as a kings ransom

Chop chop and book it....the clock is ticking......!!!!
But this is the "Arrange a game" section not the Lounge, where if the OP had been, can i have opinions on Wentworth, you could say what you like.
if Paddy wants to play there thats up to him, but its his prerogative to play it.
Not so long ago you were saying Muirfield was flat and featureless, something many would disagree with

If all the threads were kept firmly on topic the forum wouldn't last a month!
Surely it's the diverse opinion that we want to read and then decide how to move forward. I've played Wentworth, happily paid the money (£225) and loved it but I'm happy that others feel I wasted my money, after all it's only an opinion!

Have you played both Sunningdales, both Berkshires, both Walton Heaths, Swinley, Hankley etc etc to compare against? I've played them all and for less than the cost of 1 round at Wentworth I'd much rather have a full day at any of the others. If it's on the OP's bucket list then fine crack on.
Patrick.....I didn't say Muirfield was flat and featureless, I said it's ranked higher than it should be.

Lets be clear.
I am interested in playing Wentworth that's why I titled the thread Wentworth anyone!
As opposed to "Please recommend me a course that is both nice and and not overly expensive"
Yes it costs a lot of money but that does not concern me either.
It's an iconic course and the home of the ETs flagship event,I have walked it many times and would very much like to play it.

I played the New at Sunningdale and both at Walton Heath and yet to do any others but will as the chance arises.
Golf is a game that can be very expensive or reasonably cheap depending on an individual's means. I quite accept Wentworth is overpriced but then for me so is Sky tv but I will still pay for something I want if I can afford it.i guess Wentworth was on my bucket list but whilst I'd like to play the others they aren't on a list. I'm playing Royal St George's on Tuesday in the forum game, am I desperate to play it - no, am I happy to give it a go for £80 - absolutely.
I'm always happy to read people's opinion of courses and their merits and how they rate against others they've played, it's how a forum should be.

Yes I get it. You played Wentworth and didn't like it. You are also friends with the mods an feel you can post with impunity I also get that too.
Have i missed anything?

No....I played Wentworth and thought it was vastly overated and overpriced. Myself and several others were simply trying to give you some good advice. If you specifically want to play there then fine, don't let us stop you. If on the other hand you were considering a very good day out and open to suggestions we were just trying to help you out. Go play Wentworth, I hope you enjoy it and feel it is worth the money. It is (I think) the most expensive accessible course in the UK but only ranked 42nd in the GB&I. Within a few miles there are 6 courses ranked above it and 1 immediately below. For the same money you could probably have a full day out at one of those clubs and enough left over for a round at another. But it's your money, spend it how you see fit.
As for being friendly with the mods, not sure where you get that from. I have never knowingly met any of them. I don't post with impunity but if I get away with a bit more than some others on here (which I don't think I do) maybe it's because I contribute a bit more to this forum than some others do?
For some reason, I'm not surprised you aren't interested in good advice from fellow forumers.
