WELCOME If you are regularly faced with the onerous task of organising your company golf days, or coming up with an interesting and varied list of venues for your society 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. 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 indispensible 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. So let your fingers and mouse clicks do the walking – and hopefully your clubs do the talking – at one of the many and varied quality venues featured in the following pages.
