Smiffy
Grand Slam Winner
Mixed feelings here....
If you check the clubs website, the standard 18 hole green fee is £130.00, so £120.00 for the package is still a good deal, but I can fully understand peoples annoyance.
From a personal viewpoint, 36 holes was always pushing it for me, but I was willing to give it a go as I have played the course before and absolutely love it.
I find it strange they are now taking this stance though, as it was only a few weeks ago, (19th May), that I emailed the pro and booked a buggy for 36 holes. No mention of any restrictions, they were quite happy for me to book it for the day!
I'll still most probably play. I've paid the money out now so won't miss it. And I'll probably enjoy 18 holes more than 36 as I won't be so knackered towards the end anyway.
As I say, I can fully understand peoples annoyance, but it's still a good deal in the overall scheme of things.
Woking is a superb course, easily up there with West Hill, The Berkshire, St Georges Hill etc. Check out any of their websites, and the 18 hole green fee is around the £130.00-£150.00 range.
So we are still getting a little bit of a discount plus coffee, bacon roll and 3 course meal effectively "free".
Personally I'd advise to think long and hard before throwing your toys out of the pram and saying "stuff it". These things happen from time to time. They shouldn't, but they do.
On a nice sunny day, I can think of nowhere better to spend a few hours playing golf and having a nice meal afterwards, without having to shovel it down my gob to get out and play another 18 holes....
