Got a 2-FORE!-1 voucher to spare? Here are six more top venues which belong to 2-FORE!-1 and offer half-price green fees – provided you’re in possession of a 2-FORE!-1 voucher of course.
*The Glen, East Lothian, Scotland – You’ll be knocked out by The Glen which dramatically hugs the jaw-dropping East Lothian coastline with great views of the Firth of Forth and Bass Rock.
The Glen offers some of the best clifftop golf around with several holes on the back nine spectacularly running along – and overlooking – the sea.
*Slaley Hall, Northumberland – Widely regarded as the best golfing venue in the North East and it’s not hard to see why. Besides two quality 18 hole courses, it also boasts a four star on-site De Vere hotel and excellent all round facilities.
But the star of the Slaley show is the 20-years-old Dave Thomas-designed Hunting course, the regular European Tour venue down the years offering a superb variety of holes with the stroke index 1 par-4 9th – named ‘Sleeping Giant’ – being the pick of the bunch.
*Elsham, Lincs – This tranquil, well wooded wonderland is the former home of former Open and US Open champion Tony Jacklin.
*Shanklin & Sandown, Isle of Wright – Splendid heathland course with fine views, specially from the breathtaking elevated tee at the stroke index 1 par-4 13th.
*Tenby, Pembrokeshire, Wales – Delightful, quirky layout which dramatically weaves its way between the railway line and town’s South Beach. It’s one of Wales’ oldest courses and is a sheer delight to play.
*Trethorne, Cornwall – Fun all-round venue just off the busy A30 and the home of a testing undulating parkland layout, on-site accommodation and impressive practice facilities.
