Knockanally?

Bazzmundo

Thinking of joining Knockanally... Anyone out there want to give the low down on the club at the moment?

Heres a thread from a year ago. Might be worth shooting bridestream a PM to ask the state of play.

played it a few times this year and i thought the tee boxes and greens could have been better, Rathcore is a much nicer course always in graet condition and its not to far away

Hey Bazzmundo are you looking to leave Rathcore? How did you find it this past year?

I think I'll be signing up again for sure. Let me know you get on in your search.

Cheers for the replies lads!

This is going to sound strange but I love Rathcore, amazing course, kept immaculately and very sound people but I find it very very difficult. I play elsewhere and it's like a different sport so I'm looking at Knockanally, Moyvalley or Kilcock or the other option of nowhere at the moment. Moyvalley is cheap as chips but I find it a bit grim. I like Knockanally a lot and it's very handy for me but I could not join anywhere and just move round (given I have zero funds...) Bit of a conundrum...

What do you play off Bazzmundo? I play off 13 and I find the index layout a real ball buster. Back nine has 4 holes with no shots and front has 1. In truth I find it the opposite. I think the back nine is much harder.

Makes getting shots back tough.

Anyway best of luck on the search and let us know how you get on. Might join you in the future!

I play off 23:o I struggle with that in Rathcore (strokes is a non-runner) whereas when I go elsewhere and I feel like a golfing genius at times!

Fair play Silverfox hope the future works out for you guys. FWIW I really liked the course when I played there a few years ago but it's just to far at the current time for me to be able to take a round in as well as other priorities during the day.

Sent you a PM there Silverfox for some more detail.

Lovely course and from what I've heard the members are very welcoming.

I'm off 8 and played Rathcore last year...it was a windy day but still I found myself thinking "damn, Im glad Im not a high handicapper"
I was with some high handicaps and some ladies and there were a couple of holes where they just had no bail out option...which is unfair imho.

All the handicap in the world wont help you if you are forced to carry 200yrds of water on a par 3:rolleyes:

Played Rathcore yesterday. Nice course. The 15th is a brilliant hole!
