Course was in good condition considering the previous 2 weeks weather. Fairways all dry, greens in good condition. No temporaries. Not too many parkland courses you can play at this time of year. Good test at all times of the year

Booked online with Golfnow. Signed in just before midday in the pro shop, where I could see the timesheet on the screen. There was 20-25 names down for the afternoon, 7-8 groups spread over a 2 hour period. We were in a 3 ball. We were 30mins early but were rushed down to the 1st tee straight away where there was at least 20 guys waiting. Must have been a society. Our 3 ball was jumped to the head of the queue and we waited 15mins to tee off. 4hrs later we were on the 11th green. It was closeish to the clubhouse so we walked off. Heading for a 6hr round!!! Slow play was not to blame, there were no gaps anywhere ahead, the course was just overbooked. Shambles.
