Wentworth West Course....

[Smiffy]

Did you know that if you manage to get a group of 12 together you can play the West Course at Wentworth for £100.00 each between Dec 1st 2010 - March 31st 2011.
That's only a couple of quid more expensive than the London Club!
The only restriction is that you must have a handicap of 18 or less.

Sounds like a plan

 

[USER1999]

It does indeed. I wouldn't mind a crack at that.

 

[colint]

Sounds good, count me in.

 

[Smiffy]

Forget it.
It's a very clever piece of marketing.
Just phoned the events organiser and enquired.
Yes, the green fee is £100.00 per person but.........

Every player would be required to employ the use of one of their caddies at an additional cost of £60.00 plus tip. I enquired why, and it's because Wentworth have a strict "no trolley or buggie" ban and they don't want us to do our backs in....
And if that wasn't enough there would be the requirement for every player to enjoy the hospitality of the club by hiring a function room and taking refreshments at a minimum spend of £45.00 per person.
So the price has just dramatically ramped up to £205.00 (plus caddies tip).

What a load of bollcoks

if you can source a deal for a second quality track I could make a minibreak out of it.

See above Vig.
I think you'll be spending March in Yorkshire lad

It's well out the way for a lot of people (me included), but I've always said I'd love to go back to St. Mellion, and they have a hotel and decent winter deals. Decent summer deals too imo.

You can also get an overnight stay, dinner, breakfast and two rounds of golf at the Belfry for about £150 during those dates as well!

 

[Region3]

Woburn's a bit dearer, but still not extortionate.
£200 ish for dinner, accomodation, breakfast and 2 rounds of golf.

I think that's summer rates though.

Have played both. Both "ok".
But if I had to book a week-end away somewhere with overnight accommodation and two rounds of golf it would be Woodhall Spa. They do great rates and I've not played either course before.
So it's something I might get my head around organising later in the year if enough people were interested.

I've just posted about Woodhall Spa, but I think it'll be too soon in the year for you.

Heres somewhere new that you probably havent heard of, to consider. It's in Darlington and owned by Middlesbrough Football and at just under 7,900 yards from the back tees it's a bit of a monster....

I'd have loved to, but with my trip up to Lincolnshire next week-end, and a return visit to Forest Pines planned for August, I have too much on over the next few months.
But I'd certainly be up for a week-end away there next Spring. They do some really good deals which include accommodation.

Looks nice but a bit open. Not the sort of course I'd like to find myself on on a bleak, windswept March day

That sounds just the ticket. As late in April as you can in the hope of getting slightly better weather.
Cushty.

 

[USER1999]

I fancy Woodhall again, Hotchkin is still my favourite track.

 

[vig]

I could be persuaded but hold out for a GM event (large hint drop) first.
We'll discuss over a lemonade top at FP

 

[Deleted member 1418]

Yes, would be up for a Woodhall Spa trip.

Your interest is noted Gentlemen and if I do get tempted to arrange something you will be the first to know.
