    Guys,

    I am coming up to Yorkshire from London in a couple of weeks for a school reunion in Mexborough - always like to play a few rounds of golf wherever I go - anybody got any ideas for a good course to play - I have played Barnsley (Limes), Wortley, Grange Park and Wombwell Hillies - any apart from these would be ok as I would like to play somewhere I have never played before.

    Thanks

    Crook hill at conisborough
    Thryburgh golf club
    Both within 20 mins of mexborough
    Or if you want to travel a bit further Woolley not a bad course

    Crookhill at Conisbrough isn't bad for a municipal course.

    Waterside I think it's called. Only a 9 holer and you need to be on the fairway or there's a fair chance your ball will be lost.

    Owston is only a 20 min drive from Mexborough. 18 holes. No par 5s and relatively flat.

    Played Owston a couple of times and found it pretty uninspiring to be honest. Each to his own though.
