This was my first time playing this course. I was quite excited as I had been wanting to play here for some time. When arriving at the club the pro shop cheerfully told me that frost greens were in play (at midday in the bright sunshine) and once it had been declared it was in place for the whole day. They also said the temporary greens were ‘not good’ an understatement to say the least, several being in deeply muddy areas making the hope of any kind of putt an impossibility. Whilst playIng I had a look at the greens and there was not a speck of frost anywhere, nor were they excessively moist. Given the quality of the club I would have expected better. Modern green keeping techniques being more than capable of playing through temperatures that have not even reached zero, something that smaller less affluent clubs in the area seem to manage with no problems. Sadly I do not think I will be playing here again for some time. If you do book here I would check the weather closely beforehand as you might have an unpleasant surprise on the day.
