No idea sorry. Apparently the council courses (Lochgreen/Darley rings a bell?) are meant to be good if you're doing a cheaper 2nd course.

I’m sure I read that there was 2 courses at cawder so that would suit but not heard anything about the courses. probably looking to spend between £75 - £100 pp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmfc_liam06 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 If that's your total budget PP, I'm sure the Ayrshire council courses are like £20/25 a round so you'd have a good £75 towards another course. Kilmarnock Barassie is £65-85 depending on time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with the magazine you choose three rounds of golf from a list of about 12. (Some are free and some are £10 a pop). Each of the vouchers include extra offers including reduced buggy rates, subsidised additional rounds, food packages and option to bring additional players for a reduced green fee. If you're not fussed for reading the magazine, you only need to make use of one of the vouchers to justify your purchase. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the clubs I have been given (need a good clean). I bought new irons and bag from cash 4 clubs out at Loanhead. I've had 4 lessons now and go to the range fairly regularly but I'm still really bad. I can hit a 7 iron fairly consistently but only for 100 - 130 yards.

Carl Weathers Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I asked for clubs that are good for beginners and easy for hitting the ball. I spent slightly more than planned (£275 for the 8 irons) but as they are second hand I think I did ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a lesson back in September and was given 3 things to work on, I can only work on 2 at the one time as 3 just messes with my head.

Played it many times, nice course fairly long and flat with some undulations., been in better condition recently - lots of slope on the greens. They interestingly only have one set of tees at each hole, so you could be off the Tiger tee or nearly the Ladies. Try a shot out of the bunker behind (and I mean behind) the short 11th. Enjoy.

hmfc_liam06 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) Class round at Dundonald today, course is set up really fair for the winter. Can imagine it has some proper teeth during the season. Some real stand out holes, the par 3's especially. Really enjoyed the 2nd, 17th and the couple holes along the railway line too.

Used to be Loch Lomond members "winter course" arf arf! Think they have been spending a lot on the course, as its improved a lot in condition. Maybe clubhouse next on the list.
