What Is the Best Value Golf Course you have played

[JCW]

Just another thread to follow what is the most you have ever paid to play a golf course , This one is for what is the best value golf course you have play under £30 and how much did you pay ,where , type ?

Well for me it has to be Portsalon Golf Club in Ireland , I paid 25 euros to play this links course and it was just stunning , the 2nd hole is just stunning and very tough , the rest of the course was just great , lovely views and a test of golf and pint of the black stuff after with a nice view .check out the website and to date I have not played better for that money :thup:.

Are we counting freebies or not?

 

[Waitforme]

Probably King's Links in Aberdeen, if memory serves me correctly is was about £13. Stunning value.

 

[JCW]

Are we counting freebies or not?

Only courses you paid and what did you pay , I played Loch Lomond as a freebie so did not include that ................EYG

 

[Foxholer]

Best not.

Best Value that you have paid 'standard' price for!

Otherwise my freebee at Wentworth, or Tilgate Forest for £1 would be right up there!

Twilight rate at Gullane #2 (£20) was stunning value when a Nomad in Edinburgh!

£6 for a course that has held The Open? Musselburgh Old

Leven or Lundin for £20 or £25.

Member's Guest rate at Muirfield still beats the lot - and it had apparently more than trebled from the previous year!

 

[BTatHome]

If it included a member guest rate, then it's probably Camberley Heath that I believe cost me a grand total of £5 when I played last time

Other than that Hayling Island is always a bargain at member guest rates.

Freebies have included Woburn and Princes.

 

[North Mimms]

Played a very nice course near Jacksonville in Florida last week.
Great condition and beautiful greens.
$19 (less than £14) including an electric buggy. My home course charges more than that for buggy rental alone.
Liked it so much that we returned to play again for higher price of $29. When we had to stop after nine holes because of thunderstorm, they gave us a $25 rain check.

Hawkstone Park.

Both courses, B&B for £70.

I was working up in Cumbria and played Furness for a tenner a couple of times and whilst officially this was a twilight rate, they let us go well before the alloted time. The club is old fashioned in a good way, very friendly.

There will no doubt be people quoting more picturesque & more challenging courses, but if anyone is in this neck of the woods it is well worth a shout, just concentrate on the sea views and setting sun instead of the housing estate on the other side.

Like others, I have had lots of freebies, my favourite being St Georges Hill.

Pretty much every round I played more than 10 years ago feels like a huge bargain these days, and the further back you go (or the older you get) the more it seems this is the case!

Recently the best one was 4 of us played at Rye Hill, by no means the best course in the world but more than pleasant, in good condition and a decent test for less than a tenner a head including coffee and biscuits

 

[ColchesterFC]

All off the courses in St Andrews while studying up there for the massive sum of £70 per year student membership which included the Old Course. Back in the 1990's when a round on the Old Course was £50 per round.

 

[pokerjoke]

Played Saunton East with Pieman and Barum Blue.
We paid £30
Ilfracombe for a £1O note.
Burnham and Berrow channel course for £20s

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Camberley Heath (GM Forum rate) or Caversham Heath (free). Most improved course I played in 2013 (free) was Tylney Park. Hated it in 2012 when I played a club match there with knee high rubbish literally yards off the fairway and collaring every green all round (miss fairway or green and lost ball was likely outcome - there were issues with the number of NR's from members in comps). That was cut to a sensible length with more room off line and allowed you to miss greens and was in very good condition

 

[bluewolf]

Delamere for £20 was a steal.. As was Moor Allerton at the same price.. Would play both those courses again tomorrow..:thup:

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Freshwater Bay on the IOW.

Cost about £10 [a few years ago]
My BIL and I played a couple of hours after the Ladies Open on a beautiful Autumn late afternoon.
Course in lovely condition with some great views over The Needles.
After the game the steward was about to shut but he let us have a pint.
We stuck a couple of quid in the puggy and won the jackpot.
Steward was livid as he knew it was due!!

Great value

Absolute no brainer is one...

Dartmouth Golf Club, stunning championship course. Twilight rate of £10

 

[garyinderry]

funny, I was thinking portsalon too. they let us out for 15 euros twilight. great course!


my brother had his first and only hole in one there. the 10th I think.

 

[PNWokingham]

I reckon £27 for a round and lunch at Blackmoor on a winter deal in circa 2004/5 was brilliant value

 

[Marshy77]

Played Hollins Hall today for £10, bargain.

Like Bluewolf said Moor Allerton was a total steal too.

 

[Captainron]

Played Royal Porthcawl for £40 including lunch the day before the summer rates started. Course was in mint condition and the lunch was ace.

Other than that loads of top courses in South Africa work out dead cheap because of the exchange rate. Sun City cost about £40 for 2 of us a few years ago. Durban Country Club was about £15 or so. Bargain
