Winter Links Golf or Alliances at weekends

CathRaig73

Hi Folks,

I am an improving 5 handicap golfer in a club in Co. Kildare, just enquiring if there are any links golf clubs holding opens singles over the winter months on weekend days OR any winter links alliances open to new members. Obviously courses/alliances on the east coast would be preferrable. Just want a break from the sodden inland/park land golf courses we've become accustomed to these last couple of years.

I was considering maybe something like distance/country membership for the coming year any ideas at a reasonable rate around 2hrs max driving time. Any feed back would be most appreciated.

I did this last year in that i joined Corballis for the winter. Its 300 from now until the end of next year and u pay 11 every time u play so it does not work out that cheap. Not sure if u will find anything at the weekend but Portmarnock have a pro-am every Tuesday i think its around 40 and the european club have a singles on thru the week, they also have the singles Match play and the 4ball match plat that run thru the winter.Mike

The South East Alliance play a good schedule for the winter. Google Tim Murphy on facebook and he will bring you up to speed on their outings.

Have a look at hilarygolf.ie. Applications open in December. Played on Portmarnock Links, Laytown & Bettystown, Seapoint, Baltray, Portmarnock, Royal Dublin and Sutton. Handicap 5 or less to apply, numbers limited so membership not so easy to get.

looks good, great roster of courses. only isssue for me would be being available to play for all of them. so paying 225 or whatver upfront wouldnt be a go-er. are there any others apart from the above, portmarnock & mount juliet. handicap counting comps on decent tracks would be the draw for me.

Winter Alliance takes place in Rosslare Golf Club on the 1st Monday of each month (October thru to March)

Many thanks for all your feedback very much appreciate it. I have considered the options and I will try to and join the Hilary society failing that I'll try the Winter Alliance out of Rosslare.
