    I'm really disappointed to be missing this. I've heard it's a great course and foolishly I had a look at some of the flyovers. It really does look class!


    We've visitors coming up that weekend. I'm not wishing covid on them or anything, but if they get it I'll be trying to drop into this last minute!

    lads and lassies, if I bring my portmarnock links form to carton house then the tactic is to aim straight at those bunkers, won't go near any of them

    Ya never know, some people might still have not scored as many stableford points in 2 rounds as you did in Portmarnock alone

    Looks like a bit of a walk from range to 1st tee.

    With my own course not open since last week I hope I can get out a few times before the 12th, using the mat for putting just isn't cutting it for me.

    It’s a drive from the range to the first tee to be honest. I’d go there first and warm up before heading down to the clubhouse.

    100% it's a drive, so give yourself plenty of time alright.

    Decent putting greens near the clubhouse, if I remember correctly

    Yep, you walk out the back of the courtyard at clubhouse to putting green, short game area and a little further to the range

    Delighted I got a spot for this. Been 2 years since I played the Monty, and really looking forward to getting back down.

    Plus the missus is away for a couple of weeks around this so no need to rush home 😂

    Yes good point. Probably want to be giving yourself 10 minutes to get down there from putting green/practice area

    Is there an extra putting green down beside the first tee at Monty?

    There’s one as you go through the courtyard. Chipping green further in as well as far as I remember.

    I don’t think so but there possibly is. As Charlie mentions there is one through the courtyard at clubhouses. From there 5-10 minutes to get to first tee
