    Thanks Red I'm in Dublin, so I know about the elm greens and sillogues kinda hoping that theres something with a distance membership other than the likes of Boyle, Carrick-on-shannon etc etc etc, I'm currently trolling through the GUI website but some of the offers on there are out of date.

    check out Elmgreen, i just played it today, 5 day membership is about €400, and is a nice track
    -still have 11€ green fees to play, but if you were considering Slieve Na Mon, im sure the greenfees are ok once you get the opportunity to play often.

    Thanks conman, played elm green and didn't think much of it, very short holes and 6 hour round of golf put me off, maybe I am being to fussy...
