Club/shop shut for covid. Temporary measures clear and well thought out.
Course was in great nick. Back nine a tougher test than front. Thoroughly enjoyed the round.
See you again soon

The course was in dreadful condition.

The greens looked like fifth day test match wickets with large cracks on many. Several spotted rabbit holes as additional hazards.

There had been efforts to relay some turfing tee boxes but this hadn’t been watered and had shrunk causing it to lift and could not be walked on.

The club house is in the process of being redeveloped into a children’s nursery and the new shop is little more than a shed.

Some greens were partially covered with tarpaulin sheets.

Bunkers were bare but were GUR due to covid - rakes.

This used to be a decent course but it appears the new owner is clearly more driven through profit than restoring the club to its former glory.

There are many better municipal courses and failing that several farmer’s fields nearby that would do a similar job.

If it wasn’t my first round in 7 weeks I would’ve walked off before the first. Honestly it is that bad.
