Me and 3 pals played this course on 15th August and, whilst there had been a period of heavy rainfall during the previous couple of weeks, we were all very surprised about how wet the golf course was. However, that was not the problem.
Having booked through the Teeofftimes website, for a reasonable green fee, we were appalled at the condition of the golf course.
All of the greens had been hollow-tined (9mm) and spead with circa half an inch of sand, that hadn't been properly brushed into the green's surfaces. The sand was wet and the combination of this with the tining meant putting was virtually impossible, and totally ruined our visit.
In addition, at least 3 of the flags on the green didn't actually fit into the sockets of of the cups, which meant they were leaning against the side of the holes causing damage, or lying on the green's surface.
Additionally, the clubhouse was closed, for refurbishment, so there was no pro-shop available or anywhere to change and have a drink afterwards.
How it can be acceptable to charge a 4-ball nearly £80 to play on a course in that condition is beyond me, which is sad because the course layout itself is very good. One does wonder whether the Club is in financial difficulties.
Anyone contemplating a visit any time soon, should make some inquiries about the condition of the course before doing so - it's unlikely we'll ever go back.
