WELCOME If you are regularly faced with the job of organising your company golf days, or coming up with an interesting and varied list of venues for your society or group of golfing pals to visit each year, you will know what a pressurised and fraught job that can be. Above everything else, your choice of venue – and hopefully some half decent weather – will decide the success of your day. But choosing a club that fits in with the demands of a range of ages, experience, skill levels and gender, as well as picking a style of course, quality of catering, and a location that works for everyone, can sometimes feel like a Herculean task. That’s where the latest edition of The Ultimate Golf Day Guide comes to the rescue. Showcasing many of the UK’s finest clubs and courses, this indispensable full-colour publication provides all the information you’ll need to make your golf day a roaring success. Among details included are up-to-date prices and packages for societies and visitors, menus, clubhouse facilities, tee time restrictions, comprehensive directions and local accommodation tips, as well as detailed descriptions of all the layouts, which are brought to life with full colour photographs. But the usefulness of The Ultimate Golf Day Guide doesn’t stop here, in fact it’s only the starting point, as it is also available online as a standalone website – www.golfdayguide.com – which provides an interactive format that reveals even more details, and has the ability to take you right through to the booking stage. It also offers live links to individual club’s websites, where you can view hole-by-hole flyovers, see the latest offers, and even follow their social media platforms for up-to-the minute information on course conditions and weather updates.
PLANNING YOUR GOLF DAY So what makes a memorable golf day in 2020? Apart from breaking 80 and coming home with a bagful of prizes, there are several key elements that add up to a successful day out. In addition to the choice of venue, another factor in the success of a golf day is time – something all golfers are becoming increasingly focused on these days. Some of the most enjoyable golf days I’ve played in have not been dawn-to-dusk affairs. Nowadays, not all of us can spare that sort of time away from work, family or home commitments. Nine holes, Texas Scrambles and foursomes are all viable alternatives to individual 18-hole Stableford competitions. Golf clubs are extremely flexible about formats these days, so staggered start times followed by a rolling buffet is a sensible option to avoid players having to wait too long for dinner. So my advice is to think outside the box when organising your golf days in 2020. Don’t follow the same old formulas, but think about adding fun and how your can freshen things up to make it memorable for all the right reasons.
HAPPY GOLFING! N I C K B AY LY , E D I TO R , G O L F N E W S

BARLASTON GOLF CLUB M E A F O R D R O A D | S TO N E | S TA F F O R D S H I R E | S T 1 5 8 U X Situated just south of Stoke on Trent in North Staffordshire about a one hour drive from Birmingham and Manchester, an attractive riverside location designed by Peter Alliss in 1977, the course is described as a “hidden gem”. At 5831 yards it is not the longest of courses. It does, however, demand good course management due to the challenging layout. The River Trent provides an attractive border from holes three to five, an area which has seen significant improvements to the drainage in recent times to guarantee quality all-weather playability. ‘Old Swampy’ is a formidable seventh, a long par four with it’s 90 degree dog leg, undulations and a tiny looking punchbowl green protected by a pond. The ninth shows Barlaston off at it’s very finest, a superb tee shot view over the
lake on this tempting short par five. The adage here is not to be fooled by the modest yardage on the card, to play to your handicap at Barlaston will require some good course management skills. Enjoy too a wide variety of wildlife and the many different tree species guarantee a beautiful and varied look for each passing season. Off course facilities include a full range of good quality and reasonably priced meals and snacks in the club’s large clubhouse lounge. Societies are frequently attracted to the charms of Barlaston by competitive pricing and a tailor made approach to group days. Weekend society bookings are now also available by prior arrangement.

A COURSE TO TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY The award-winning Vidago Palace Golf Course was redesigned by the firm Cameron & Powell from an original by Mackenzie Ross built in 1936. The course has now been rebuilt from scratch to meet USGA specifications for greens and tees and has been transformed into a par 72 course, making it a potential venue for international championships, while maintaining the identity of the original design and faithfully reflecting the beauty, the qualities unique to this sport, the spirit and the distinctive flavour of the location. The Vidago Palace Golf Course is a course of striking contrasts, all with a particular respect for the natural surroundings. Distinctive features of this course include the support walls of all the tees, which are made of local stone, and the century-old trees, almost all of which have been preserved. The recently enlarged course includes a golf academy, a 340 m driving range, a chipping area and two putting greens. Buggies, trolleys and electric trolleys are available to players at the Club House; clubs can also be hired.
