Pitch and Putt

James Forde

Hello Folks

Can anyone recommend anywhere for pitch and putt.

Starting to get into golf and think P&P is the best way to go for a beginner

Cheers

The only Pitch & Putt place I know of in Galway is the one on Taylors Hill. It's been years since I played there so I can't say if it's any good.

Haven't played since I was in school but the courses in Renmore and Oughterard were always in great condition.

James Forde

Renmore would suit best.

Cheers lads.

Anyone know of the costs invovled?

Thats for Liam mellows P&P in Renmore

I know it's near the barracks but how exactly do I access the course

Drive down as far as the main entrance to the barracks then hang a left and follow the road all the way round.

Same as. Was down there a couple of weeks ago and it was only alright. Have seen it in better condition.

Might give it a go at some stage. Played Taylors Hill 7 or 8 years ago, not sure what it's like now. Renmore is handier for me atm anyway.

Anyone know anything about the one on Taylors Hill? Is it a good course, price, etc?

Also, can you just turn up and play, or do you have to book it? There would only be 2 of us going!? Thanks!

Have been there a few times, nice little course. Think its €10 or so, and you can just show up and play, no need to book.

There is one in salthill which is supposed to be good but I haven't been.

Also one at the Glenlo abbey hotel back past dangan, I've been there and its ok, nothing special.

Do you have to go right up to the gate and turn left passed the sign that says "military grounds, do not enter etc."?? I took a spin to find it but didn't wanna end up in a barracks with army guys surrounding me.

I wish the Par 3 course in Rosshill was still there.That was perfect for beginners too,its where i learned to hack my way around a golf course:).

Yeah, the Liam Mellows P&P is right at the barracks - drive to the barracks, and there is a road left just before the main entrance. If the gate is locked, just knock on the window beside it and one of the army lads will let you in as long as there is no shooting practice on the shooting range, which is beside the P&P course.
I too really miss Rosshill, was a great spot

Do you still need your own clubs @ Renmore? I remember trying to go for a game a few years back, cycled out... he saw us coming down the hill and shouted at us to f*** off if we hadn't got clubs.

James Forde

Ah, memories

played on taylors Hill last year (after searching for the one at the barracks to no avail) and the course is ok. Very cramped though.

Actually, now that I think of it, the greens were in bits, yeah, actually it was pretty bad

Ya it's more like a garden tbh.

We were out there a few months ago, maybe it was the end of last summer though as it was hot.

He gave us clubs from inside but didn't seem happy about it. Seemed it wasn't how things usually ran.

Barna isn't a bad course, doh its un-manned so you wouldn't really know which hole is which.

You need your own clubs but you can play for free .... there's a hole in the wall though for the fee.... YA RIGHT!!(I'm honest but not sticking money in a wall for something like that)

It's at the back of the Gaelic pitch, bit hard to find it your not a local though although it's signposted from the backroad(go up the road by the twelve pins, come to a junction with sign, a tiny bit down it in on the right is the GAA pitch)

Will.

Please use the Stag sticky. Zombie lock.
But Taylor's hill is probably your best bet
