2-FORE!-1 six of the best

Published:

Looking for a great round at a great price? Here are six more top 2-FORE!-1 venues, offering half-price green fees, where you can do precisely that…

 *Turnberry (Kintyre course), Ayrshire – It may play second fiddle to its Open-staging neighbour, the magical Ailsa layout…. but not when it comes to stunning on-course views.

The Kintyre, which re-opened in 2001 after a superb re-design by Donald Steel, has it all…breathtaking vistas of Kintyre, Arran and the famous Turnberry lighthouse ably supported by a series of magnificent ocean holes, gorgeous fairways and undulating greens.

*The Tytherington, Cheshire – There are some excellent courses in Cheshire and The Tytherington is right up there among the best of them.

It opened in 1986 and sits on gently rolling parkland within a 143-acre estate, impressively winding through mature woodland. However, playing-wise it’s no stroll in the park – over 100 well-placed bunkers and eight water features make sure of that. So take plenty of balls with you just in case!

*Guildford, Surrey – Founded in 1886, Guildford is the oldest course in Surrey and is probably the driest – the downland layout rolls over chalk-based terrain so you’re virtually guaranteed a game. The short par-4 4th is the highest point of the course with stunning views of four counties. 

*College Pines, Notts – This impressive heathland is one of the best draining courses around – it rarely closes so you’re virtually guaranteed a game whatever the conditions.

*Beaufort, Co. Kerry, Ireland – Only opened just over a decade ago but this charming parkland layout is now very much part of the star-studded Kerry golfing scene, scene being the key word as Beaufort is concerned as it sits amidst some of the most spectacular scenery around.

*Ingon Manor, Warwicks – Relatively open, undulating parkland layout that is improving all the time. It’s not too demanding – mid-high handicappers should shine here – and several elevated tees means you’re treated to some stunning countryside views.
