Could do with a grandstand at 18th hole
Excellent throughout, well organised but I have one complaint which is the same one as last year. Can you provide a printed list of tee times and a course layout?Trying to see them on a phone is no use
Great event, superb course, well organised. Wonderful value for money
Really enjoyed the day . No seating . Would have enjoyed hospitality due to my age and mobility .
Take a chair….no seating
Fantastic event..great to see the golfers so close up…Dundonald links did a great job!! Very well organised
Good value for money ,quality of golfers
This is the 3rd year we have attended at Dundonald Links...great venue, easy to park and get into the course. Marshalls and staff very friendly and helpful. Always amazed at how small the crowd is, given the quality of the field each year, but that's fine by me. Lovely course to walk round. Could do with a few stands behind greens, and more food/drink outlets, but suppose the crowd volume might not merit this ?. We only went for 1 day this year, but will look to do two or more days next year as we did last. Great event
Great event. Facilities should be better. Always queues at the toilets. Toilets nearly always clean and well stocked. Good food but not great selection.
Excellent spectacle for women’s golf
Disappointed for the world's best women golfers that the attendance numbers were so poor. I was one of four people following the trio of Maguire, Shin and Alison Lee on the opening day. The weather was atrocious but I don't think that's the whole reason for the extremely low attendance. It does nothing to inspire the golfers.
The communication for this event was poor, I understand not wasting resources printing programs but have an option on site to print or obtain time sheets. There was little to see outwith the entry area and few leaderboards. I was unaware that there was a pro am on until speaking to one of the stewards and we would have been able to come along to that. The late decision caused issues with getting accommodation when on a budget. I was fortunate that had a relative living nearby as the hotel we stayed at previously was sold out by the time we knew dates of event .
It was unfortunate weather on morning one, with play being stopped but on resumption all was well till we finished for the day.
Parking was easy. Staff generally great.
Shame there didn't appear to be any course maps, we certainly were not offered one.
Also a shame there wasn't a single opportunity to top up water on the course, let alone get a snack.
Finally, this event was so slow to confirm venue, tickets etc, and appeared short of volunteers. I worry for the longevity of this event.
LET could do better.
Brilliant course, great players....no one there. Bizarre. Little to no facilities...no printed programme and draw sheets were hard to find. No stands. $3m event should have more to it and be better supported by golfers locally.
Excellent day out with good viewing areas ,plenty of coffee tea stalls hassle free getting parked and exiting .
Excellent experience. Everything - travel signs, parking, toilet and eating facilities was very well organised and geared to the customer. The course itself was well laid out for spectators. It allowed a view at every hole and allowed you to get close to the players.
It was well organised and we Enjoyed our visit to the Freed sponsored golf tournament. It was good to be able to get close to the lady professional golfers and watch how they move around the course.
Toilets could be supplied at far end of course out near the holes by the railway line
A very good event but the following would improve the spectator experience:
1. Score boards for each game, or, if that is not practicable, for as many games as possible.
2. Spectator stands.
3. More information on-line - e.g. the tournament brochure wasn't available until day 3 (or at least I could not find it before then). Also a downloadable map of the course and the facilities would have been VERY useful.
A well organised event. A great relaxed atmosphere. My only slight and very slight criticism is that there was not much to the Fanzone this year compared to last. Excellent admission prices and parking was easy. All in all a great experience.
