my boyfriend and i want a new life

How about this, JC1?  New thread started!!

All those out in Duquesa, looking for a round anywhere in the vicinity, just post your dates and other relevant info in this thread, and process!!

Maybe indicating your handicap (and true handicap!!) could be helpful.

Pitby...looks and sounds good to me...i need to check my holiday dates and put them on here...think next one is in July. Golf and pools don't mix I agree.  Played in the desert lately?

Played today, John!!  Bloody Hot!!  But, unlike you, we did have water!!!  And lots of it!  (Yes, these sheikhs have too much oil money to spend!).  Played at Nad al Sheba  and I did put one in the water, one only!! Saying that, we came in second on a modified Scramble!  Only contribution from me today was my putting though!!

Only course in Dubai without water (at the moment) is the Desert Course at the Ranches - one of my favourite courses!!  And no defined bunkers!!  Cause it's lots of desert!!  Don't know which is better, desert or water!

I'm out from 18th July through 20th August, and Nigel (husband) should be out last week July, first two weeks August, so should be able to get something sorted at some point!!!

Looking forward to getting together 'en course' as they say!!!  (don't know quite who 'they' are, but sounds okay!!)

I am out 29th May to 7th June then again 31st June to 13th Aug. I am up for a game at least once during either break.

Cheers,

Chris & Colette (she doesnt play!)

I am out 6th to 18th July. so I will be playing then too. Jan looks like we will pass each other on the way in and out which is a pity...although if the AGM is scheduled for late July I might stay on '. Like your signature...how did you do that?

Chris , you must play near me at home...I am about 8 miles from Cheadle Hulme. What course do you play?

 

Hi

I am here in the summer with two of my children and a friend ( husband unable to get time off work). Be there 9th - 25th August. My son aged 16 is a very keen golfer, handicap of 8. He will be very interested in playing with others who are around. Lynn

Whilst I was last in Duquesa i came across a shop , Manilva-leisure.com , which specialises , you can imagine, leisure activities in the area. Thy have just got their website launched and i spoke to them about playing golf when out there. They have a golf society which organises 'Rollup' competitions 3 times per week on different courses plus other events. I have just joined the society as, like most of us when there,  would like the idea of playing and meeting people .  It might suit some of us. So if you are there and fancy a game on one of these days you just turn up and play ( and pay of course). They get cheap rates too .

 

 

Thanks for that info, John.  Where is their office?

Jan it is next to billy the fish chippy opposite ryders bar at the back of the bar and the shops. Their web site is manilva-leisure.com.

Thanks, John.  I checked out the website, had a bit of formatting problem though with certain of their pages.  Thought I'd pop in when we're there and check out what they can arrange.

Anyone fancy a game of golf between 26 Nov to 5 Dec?

Brian

yes i will be unfortunately i will be NOT in DV...stay on till 11th

John

Thanks, sorry but I have to go home, looks like I am billy no mates!!

 

If you get a chance play at Finca Cortesin-paid 106 euros pe rhead inclusive of buggy, range balls etc-excellent set up and excellent price when compared to the likes of San Roque etc-we always book through Manilva Leisure

Just for info, when we were in Duquesa this summer, we stumbled upon the Clubhouse at Los Hidalgos centre (where Eroski is) and booked our golf through Tom Crowley there.  We got good rates and, every Wednesday, they had a "social" golfing day and you could just put your name down to join others at whichever course they were playing.  Must say we really enjoyed it.  Even after my husband left to return to Dubai, I went along on a Wednesday with my son and they were a great bunch and really looked after Jake too - letting him drive the buggy on the odd occasion when there were no trees in sight that he could bump into!!  Would recommend them.  Their website is www.clubhousegolftours.com/.

 

 

The Clubhouse is really family friendly for breakfast, lunch and dinner too and lovely food and views out to sea.

Just thinking about when we'll be out this summer and if anyone would be interested in having a DV golf social now and then?  We can arrange reduced green fees if there are a few of us, and all chip in, say, 5 euros and winner takes all - or something along those lines!  Could be a stableford.

Any interest?

Wife and I play off 11 & 12 and are out from 16th-22nd this month and hopefully again in the summer so we would always be interested.

When last out in October we managed to play Finca Cortesin for 100e which included a buggy, range balls and a strokesaver, it was an excellent set up and a good course.

Tend to play Don Julia which although short is good value for money and convenient and  have played San Roque and Alcadiesea quite often, enjoy Los Arqueros whichagain is relatively inxpensive however cant seem to find an "inbetween" course something that is good quality but for around 50-65 euros, it either seems it is to be a cheapy at circa 40-45e or better quality but at around 100e?

Too good for me off 18....I am out 15th april and my favourite course is Almanara near Valderrama...

John

wife might be but currently I am playing "cowsarsebanjogolf" and no that is not written spanish language!

What is Almanara like -course wise price wise etc
