Was playing a a friends course yesterday and he was telling me they had lost a fair few members who are all from one of the villages nearby in the last few weeks to another local course, mainly to do with a offer of 18 months golf for the price of 12 with another few months free (until start on next season) if they join now.
the course A they were at is a nice Links course which is playable all winter, but suffered with bit of condition after last winters heavy snow in Feb/March, where the course was closed in that time and the hot dry summer has played havoc with the fairways and tee's. But is in the top 100 courses in Scotland
The course B they have all moved to, is in their home town,which is 20 mins away. Was originally 9 holes, but is now 18, the original 9 is a nice layout, but the new holes, not much better than a flat field. is def not in the top 100 courses in Scotland
