Top effort with the golf Zico. I'm doing a "Sunday Driver," at East Sussex in late September. Sunday afternoon golf, dinner bed, breakfast, more golf Monday morning. One round on each course.
Think you probably get a better deal staying there overnight.  We paid £140 each for the two rounds and shared buggy.  Can remember when it only cost us £80!!  Still a good treat though.  You will have a great time, it's two great courses and both in super condition.
