Would you pay £350 to play Royal Lytham?

[bradleywedge]

As a one-off, bucket list type of thingy special occasion?

 

[IanMcC]

No.

 

[Imurg]

Nope......nearly 20 quid a hole......no thanks.
It would be a great experience but I'd rather play 2 or 3 other reasonable courses for the same money....

 

[VVega]

Only if it had some sentimental value to me... Otherwise, no.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

No, not at all tempted. My top whack for there would be about £100, I don't ever expect to play there

I don't think there is any course in the UK I'd pay that amount of money for.

All of this is personal choice and if anyone wants to do it, I hope they have a great day

 

[Springveldt]

No chance.

 

[3 jabber]

Nope......nearly 20 quid a hole......no thanks.
It would be a great experience but I'd rather play 2 or 3 other reasonable courses for the same money....

Rather than £20 a hole maybe think of it as £5 per bunker shot

 

[Dingy]

Nope

 

[Slab]

Nup, although might depend who's in my 4 ball
Nelly, Lydia and Hatton and I'd probably pay it

The tourist market definitely is at a play again. I know a member of a club in Ireland called carne. His membership was like 500 euro at first , still low but the green fee is 100 euro (was when he told me) because if they didn't go to that level the us market werent interested as they see price as mark of quality.

 

[rulefan]

No, especially with the Old Links just along the road at less than half the price.

 

[moogie]

No...no...no....

Golf is (i hope) on an unsustainable upward spiral
Getting out of hand
Green fees, equipment, madness

 

[hambugerpete]

I know someone who'll be along soon ...
It doesn't hold the same prestige as st andrews, which I have paid to play so it's a no from me.

 

[SteveJay]

I'm lucky, our club has an annual senior's friendly match against RLSA, home and away. Whilst it is always oversubscribed and the team is selected by a ballot, I have played twice and we pay the princely sum of £25 to play the away leg, which includes a 2 course meal afterwards!

Would I pay £350, not in a million years

 

[Billysboots]

No. I’m genuinely not sure I’d pay that much to play anywhere. I object to being ripped off.

 

[Mandofred]

Nope. But then again, why do people pay £££££ for Land Rovers instead of good cars? People do stupid things.....not me of course.

 

[Burnsey]

I wouldn't pay that for a round of golf anywhere in the world, but would play it if someone else was.

Corporate golf helps me to play some courses I would never visit and hope the invites continue as long as I can swing a club.

 

[splashtryagain]

No, but only because I have no burning desire to play it. On the other hand I will happily pay £190 for a twighlight round at a course I have a real yearning to play later this year.

I think a lot depends on who you are playing with as has been said. Memories for life and all that.

 

[fenwayrich]

Not a hope in Hades. I have been to a few Opens there and didn't think it was particularly inspiring.

 

[The Fader]

Absolutely not.

Wouldn't pay that sort of money for any course.

Just finished booking our Spring\Summer away days.

10 decent tracks for the princely sum of £280pp with a few bacon butties included.
