Worst VALUE course you have played?

A friend would tell me of the days he used to rock up at Wentworth and play 18 holes for the grand sum of seven shillings and sixpence... Thirty seven and half a pence in todays money...

I've played the Old Course for 6 quid - that come into that category - about 1999?

In 1982 you could play St Andrews and Gleneagles for £7 each, happy days.

RAF Guys from Leuchars i believe could still get a round for £20 quid at St Andrews

Not the worst course but the worst value for money.

I'll start the ball rolling by nominating the West course at Wentworth. I was lucky enough to play it on a freebie but if I had forked out the £370 green fee I would not have been amused.

What is the worst value you have played?

I agree 100%. The West Course at Wentworth is the worst value for money in UK golf. An outrageous price for a course that isn't half as good as many think.

20 quid a hole is crazy.... If it were a chance at Augusta but, wentworth, no.

Rather than the prestige of showing £££s for golf thing is to find the gems that charge buttons. That can be comparative either very cheap or a sundowner round at a Royal.....

It was an RAF guy who signed me on back in 1989 (not 1999 as I wrongly posted before)

From recent memory, Hanbury Manor seems to be the most overrated and overpriced (on and off the course) that I've played. The Grove is a similar proposition, but maybe they're a both a bit cheaper now? Regardless, I won't be returning any time soon.lf.

Agree with you re Hanbury, it's pretty average in design and condition, right up there for being pompous tho'

Royal Liverpool Golf Club for me. Paid £80, which isn't a great sum...but wasn't overly impressed with it whatsoever

Around the same time I played Gleneagles Kings and Prince's in a day for the 'princely' sum of £13.

I played the West Course a little bit before the changes. It cost £2.50 per shot (84) and, ok, it was lousy value for money looked at in the cold light of day, but, I LOVED playing the course that I'd seen all the best pro's from Seve to Tiger play! And I did the last 3 holes par-bogey - par and yes I'd play it again like a shot, but only if I didn't have to pay todays price!
