    Member in Cobh myself, only newly joined but enjoy it. Course is nice, new clubhouse, everyone seems nice there too

    I'm a member in Cobh aswell, joined around Sept/Oct 2016 & really enjoying it! some say the course is too hilly but I only find the trek from 3rd green to 4th tee box, 5th tee to fairway & 18th fairway are the only real steep/tough hills.

    I found the club very welcoming & fitted in there pretty quickly. great bunch there imo.

    as a kid (12-16 yrs old) I was a member in Mallow & hadn't really golfed much from 16 until 32... delighted to back playing!!!

    Exactly this. Looking forward to the summer when get some actual roll on the ball, it seems like it'll be a different game then

    Kilkeel, County Down. One of the most underrated courses in the North.

    Renewed in the Curragh again this year. I'm under 40, so i get a reduced membership, which is ideal right now.

    Only realised the Heritage is actually closer to me, but i enjoy the Curragh for the time being.

    Well if you can cope with the couple of "right-angle" holes........but yes, nice course.

    Has the quality of the greens improved in Killeens?
    Last few times we played there (at various times of the year) they were in a bad way with some sort of disease.

    Greens are in Fantastic condition now.

    Joined Seapoint 3 months back and couldn't be happier. Was a member of Bellewstown as a junior and then through college couldn't afford paying full membership whilst living in Dublin. Was a long distance member of Mannan Castle (lovely track, quite tight, but not great with handling the rain), so pulled the plug on Seapoint in April.

    Finding it straight forward enough to adjust to links(had brilliant weather in fairness), but slightly struggling to adjust game back when playing parkland. Either way, looking forward to being able to play right through the winter as opposed to previous clubs through the years.

    Not a member there myself but played it many times over the years. A smashing golf course in very pleasant surroundings. Enjoy.

    I was wondering where are people currently members and if they also are members of a society or even multiple socities.

    I'd also be interested to know if anyone changes their home club frequesntly so if anyone has moved clubs recently let us know how it's going.

    I'm a Moate GC member since 2002. I also play with a small local society and sometimes the Midlands Intermediate Alliance.
    www.moategolfclub.ie



    The last thread on this seems to be 2013 so no point resurrecting a zombie thread.

    Witchita,

    I’m based in the Midlands but never came across an Intermediate Alliance, can you fill me in?

    The Intermediate Alliance is open to all GUI handicap holders whose handicap is above 8 (I think) and it's organised (by a Longford member at the moment) on a society basis every year from about October to March with outings every 3 or 4 weeks usually in Midland clubs like Moate, Athlone, Tullamore, Longford, New Forest, New Headfort etc etc. Sometimes we go to slightly further away ones like the Heritage or Slieve Russell.

    I'm P.R.O of Moate and I usually have the details on our notes page when it's kicking off so check back with me in September and I'll give you more details.
