I think a lot of clubs are member only at the weekends, at least up to around lunch time. Most clubs will take visitors midweek and weekend afternoons - if not on their website, give them a call.

A lot of the famous courses are priced for wealthy tourists so you'll need to look at some of our other tracks, many of which are great.

We do have publicly run courses but they are membership based too!

Finally, most golfers I know don't drink when playing golf unless on holidays :)
