£1 Golf Holiday In UK

Wasn't sure of the best place to put this! I can't post a link so maybe someone else can link to the site? This is the article from the Times yesterday:

This is probably the most astounding offer we have brought you on these pages: an overnight stay with breakfast and two rounds of golf for £1.

It is genuine and will be available from 10am tomorrow for one week with yourgolftravel.com. The growing company hopes the deal will bring it to the attention of many more golfers and the resorts taking part will also hope to benefit from new members and plenty of conviviality at the 19th hole.

The offer is expected to be available at 12 golf resorts and, while the list is still being finalised, these three are certain to be included.

Formby Hall in Lancashire has recently added a four-star hotel and resort to its golf complex. The 62-bedroom property has the air of a boutique hotel while the course, more than 7,000 yards long from the championship markers, is a considerable test.

Playing the 18-hole members course at the Manor of Groves Hotel, Golf & Country Club, near Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire, is a game of two halves. The front nine holes weave a path around the old manor gardens, while the closing stretch is more open and undulating.

The parkland course at Donnington Grove Hotel & Golf Club at Newbury, Berkshire, was designed by Dave Thomas, the leading golf course architect and former Ryder Cup player. At 7,100 yards the course represents a stern test for even the most skilled golfers, but the choice of tees ensures that it is playable for everyone. The front nine spans higher ground and is relatively exposed, while golfers will have to negotiate woodland and water on the exacting closing stretch.

If you go to their site and then the '19th hole golf blog' you can see all the resorts included in the deal there.

I cannot see the £1 deal anywhere. It says it will be available from 10.00am today. It's now 11.50am. Perhaps the editor is having a lie-in. Will check it later

Just rang them up, it is only available if you call them up, however there is a catch it is only available if you book and pay for 4 people the first person pays £1 and the other 3 £79 each, so a total of £238. He said it doesn't matter if 1 or 4 people go the price will still be a total of £238 so not really a good offer after all

Maybe the title can be edited to say £238 Golf Holiday?
