Time to look again at Blakes

I have been playing this course for the last 15 months and have despaired at some of the reviews online.
My experience has been positive; whilst acknowledging the issues caused by the failure of the watering system in 2018, a new greenkeeper and staff have worked very hard to rectify this. The greens and fringes remain a work in progress, but the improvements are definately being seen. New tree planting programme and work around the course in general has maintained the good conditions outside of greens and fringes.
The course has an excellent layout, is challenging to almost all golfers, particularly in the wind it was designed for as an inland links, and the green fees reflect that the course is on a journey of rapid improvement.
The club has ambitious plans for development of the site, and increasing the facilities for players, and I feel that this is a great time to give Blakes another look and see for yourself.
