Williamwood Golf Club
Played On 04/02/2018This is a good little course
I played this course this week. Despite all the rain and snow we have had, the course was in good condition. Staff at the pro shop were very helpful. The course is well laid out and easy to follow. There are some tricky holes, but the 14th is a belter. 452 yards par 4, Short and open course par 68 from the yellow boxes.
Definitely getting a return visit here.
East Renfrewshire Golf Club
Played On 03/31/2018Excellent course
I played this course last week. Despite all the bad weather we have had the course was in great condition, which is a credit to the green keepers. Other courses should take a leaf out of their book in how to maintain a course in bad weather.
The staff at the pro shop were very helpful and answered any questions about conditions. There are some really scenic holes and this is a test of your golf game. The 199 yard par 3 11th is a cracker.
Great course and definitely worth a return visit.
Westerwood Hotel Golf Club
Played On 03/25/2018Unbelievably bad
I have never played here before, but I had heard all the stories about poor drainage. I just didn't expect it to be as bad. Yes we have had a lot of snow, but this course is just a bog. I have played municipal courses that are far superior to this course. We are at the end of April now, so there should be no excuses. This is linked to a hotel chain, but not 1 member of staff was on this course trying to rectify the mess that it is in. 5 winter greens today and also no play allowed on the fairways. A complete waste of money
Hi there,
Thanks again. The greens staff came in at 6am that Sunday, so more than likely on the back nine when you teed of as they work from 1-18 to ensure they're not in the way of golfers.
Appreciate your comments and you'll be well versed on the clay base that we deal with at The Westerwood and the inherent issues that causes regards drainage.
Hopefully see you again at some point in the future.
Best,

Thanks for your response.
Yes it was a Sunday, but we teed off at 8.20, so staff should have been visible. As a member of the construction industry for over 40 years, I do have some knowledge of drainage and how to lay footpaths. It therefore came as quite a surprise to me that despite all the reports for years of bad drainage, this course is still as bad. I have played 2 courses in the last week, where there is nowhere near the flooding that your course suffers from. Can't see any further than poor investment and bad management for the state of your course.
Hi there,
Thanks for your comments. It has certainly been a very long, hard winter with weather. With it being a Sunday that you played, this may well explain why there were so few greens staff at work - we tend to operate a skeleton staff on Sundays and they are generally in from about 6am, hence why you may not have seen them.
I hope we get some sunshine and heat in the weeks ahead and that you can come back and experience the course in its full splendour.
As an aside, where do you play your golf as a member?
Best,
Daryn
