any courses open tomorrow

irishkopite 2011

Was wondering if anybody knows of any courses which will be open in the midlands tomorrow. I think moate and ballinasloe are closed because of the weather.

Athlone will be open tomorrow for definite.

Will be busy early in the morning, but you should be able to get out from 11 onwards.

Might not be anyone in the bar at this time if you ring, but you'll get the pro in the morning from around 8AM - 0906492073 - extension 2.

green fees 15 euros

FYI, it's listed as €25 on their website, hoping to play there on Sat as Fri appears to be unavailable with possibly a members competition. Poorly advertised open competition all week however with nothing listed on the GUI site or their own website, only seen it through their online booking system.

Your right about poorly advertised. Got email stating the open days. Today, tomorrow, Saturday Sunday and Monday are open. Friday a pro am is on. 20 euro for green fee and comp entry.

the competition is run over 15 holes, but you can play all 18 if you wish.
full greens and they are in very good condition for winter greens. were running very slick christmas eve when I played, but of course, might be a little slower after todays rain

So booked to play in Athlone today but the other half was late back from shopping so had to miss it. Was a pity as have never played it and would like to.

Wisely kept my mouth shut as she was shopping for the kids and I was lucky to be getting out.

Played Longford on my own. Slow as feck. 4 lads ahead of me lost a hole and a half to those in front of them even though course was slow overall. They were unreal slow. Would usually drive me mad but was happy to be out and was a lovely day. At least they left after 10.

Played really well too which always helps

Played Concra Wood today.

All open and generally good condition, if a bit heavy on the last few holes.

Glorious sunshine and Lough Muckno is a rather special combination.

We ended up going to mount temple as athlone was fully booked up till after 1. Had a great round and the place was dry enough.
