Mr kola has set me a task

[hau kola]

and i need help.He wants to book a round of golf and a hotel in Dorset or Devon for 4 weeks time.It has to be a links course that will accept non members.
Ive googled but cant come up with anything.It can be a B&B seperate from the course,the course is more important.Any help would be appreciated.

Hi HK..................I'm in Devon, and I can think of several good courses/hotels.
First - what's a links course ?

[bigmamma]

Hi hau kola , your released !! :-) xxxx

Builder - a links course is one by the seaside, usually with sand dunes but few trees or water hazards (see here http://golf.visitscotland.com/golftalk/faqs/wh at-is-a-link-course).

Lmao! He set you a task?

Is that another name for "I cant be bothered doing this myself, so I'll get the wife/PA to do it for me"???

PS
I have one the same.

[weeal]

You know who would probably know the answer to this.. Caz. I suggest you try and catch up with her later.

[hau kola]

lol Boo, he actually said "if you want something to do tonight".

Builder, as juggerling says, it has to be by the sea.

golf links courses are run by the council, so there should be a list on the council website

http://www.dorsetforyou.com/index.jsp?articlei d=17557

make sure you check the following

*some courses require a handicap to play
*is there a specific dress code? (normally the more expensive ones require certain dress codes..no jeans ect..)

I would like to tell you that I am jealous...

[hau kola]

thanks cazz.they are all seasoned players so theyve got handicaps and know about dress codes etc.

[hau kola]

cazz,forgot to say he played the Belfrey on saturday for free.

As has already been suggested there is the Saunton golf course - details here - http://www.sauntongolf.co.uk/

There is also a hotel right next to it - http://www.brend-hotels.co.uk/TheSauntonSands/ Home.cfm

My dad is a member of this golf course, but just to let you know, if the weather is bad, its really bad on the course.

[hau kola]

thanks mattie, i will pass all this on to him.
