1589.0. "Training in Highfield Park" by HLFS00::DUFAIS_P (PERRY) Wed Sep 09 1992 07:13

    
    
    Hi,
    
    I will be in Highfield Park for training from 29 September through
    10 October, staying the weekend in between. I'm thinking about
    bringing my clubs with me but I'm not sure if its worth it.
    
    Is there a golf course close by (no car)? How much are green fees?
    Is it possible to get 9 in after training is over for the day
    5 or 6 o'clock? 
    
    Are there any golfers interested in letting me join them? I don't
    really have a handicap but if I did it would be around 15.
    
    Thanks for any info,

1589.1Try Pine RidgeODDONE::LOGAN_MTue Sep 15 1992 09:4827

    Most of the courses around Highfield are private courses and do not
    accept visitors at weekends. There is a municipal course in Camberley
    called Pine Ridge, which is absolutley terrific. It has only been open
    about 6 months and as yet the Club house is not completed. You can book tee
    times for a weekend 7 days in advance and last time I tried I managed
    to get on quite easily.
    
    The course has been reclaimed from woodland and provides one or two
    really challenging holes. All the tee's have been finished off using
    pine logs (hence the name I guess), all in all it provides a lovely
    setting.
    
    Camberley is about 20 miles from Highfield and you would need transport
    to get there.
    
    I doubt you'd get 9 holes in after class as it begins getting dark
    about 7.30 and is "pitch black" by 8.00.
    
    
    I am not aware of other courses near to Highfield where you would get a
    game without being a guest of a member.
    
    Good luck
    Mark
