Tea_Total 20 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 played at mine today, drove well but putting was awful but greens aint looking the best just nowThe amount of rain you've had this summer it's not surprising the greens are struggling. The new greens at my place are superb, pity they were not ready when you wer there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent Thomas an e-mail yesterday about Stoneybrook East, Eastwood and North Shore. They are doing a deal at the moment Xmas package for 10 rounds with carts for $199. You can use anytime in 2013 including high season. Ron and I are in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kplfishtank 4,657 Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 That's a great deal for 2 good courses. If you play them and find any of my golf balls post them over. Was that the course I hit the 2 houses Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that the course I hit the 2 houses Stoneybrook was where you hit the big house on the par 5, 13th. F*^king dog still barks at me yet. Mind you went in the water that often and at so many different courses the Aligators are all wearing hard hats now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFC RYAN 2,967 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Anyone played Kilmarnock Barassie recently ? Is the greens and fairways on at this time of time of year ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
choochooblue 342 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Barassie try and keep normal conditions on , occasionally they put the tees forward onto the fairway . Next door at dundonald is the place to play . You probably wont get a better conditioned course to play in scotland at this time of year.

RFC RYAN 2,967 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Went to Westkilbride today despite the weather been pish to start with it calmed down, stunning course and well worth £25. We got a wee doubles match and won 7 and 6 so we tanked them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GersDude90 1 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I second the Dundonald thought.It holds up fantastically well at this time of year and you can usually get a good deal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cushynumber 25,178 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I done a mini tour of some 9-hole courses in September. Loch Carron, across to Airsaig, then down to Blair Atholl.All three were in fantastic nick and the weather at Blair Atholl was superb - sitting outside on their decking area with the sun out looking across the big double green they have was one of the highlights of the summer/autumn.I will be doing it again in spring and was thinking of buying one of those Perthshire Highland Golf tickets and playing a few of the 9 -hole course around Achterarder. With the ticket you can play Alyth - Leitfie Links, Blair Atholl, Comrie, Crieff - Dornock, Dunning, Glenshee - Dalmunzie, Kenmore - Mains of Taymouth, Killin, Milnathort, Muthill, St Fillians and Strathtay.As anybody played these and would they recommend a top 3?

dummiesoot 16,009 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 played Turnberry Kintyre yesterday in an absolute gale. 2 over at the turn with two three putts then basically turned into the wind - horrific 3 hole spell where one minute the wind moved the ball the next it didn't. 9 over coming back in. not too bad considering the very tough conditions. great course.
