Open Week

Don't forget our Open Week starts on Monday, 20 June and there are still some times available, just give me a ring on 90483825 to book. The week closes with our very popular Mixed Greensomes on Sunday, 26 June in the afternoon and we are then having a Jazz Sunday event from 5.30 pm to 7.30 pm with superb background music from the Kyron Burke/Linley Hamilton quartet. Good food and easy listening after golf or why not just call in for a meal or a drink? Perfect for a summer evening.

If you can't make Open Week this year why not get a few friends together and make up a fourball, our rates are only £18 mid-week and £20 at weekends when playing with a member which is great value for money, especially when the course is exceptional. The more visitor revenue we take in the lower our subs are! I ask all members to try and generate extra income and have a great day out at the same time.
