I played this course before it changed. I remember a challenging course with good fairways and greens. I read that there had been some changes, but really didn’t expect what I found. Some of the new holes were a joke, so short and lacking any sort of challenge. Tee boxes were more just cut fairway sections and not even flat! The worst being a par 3 on the back 9. Why was the course changed from one that used to host Europro events to one that you’d not be happy playing a Saturday comp on?
I understand most members may have found it challenging on the old course, surly it would have been easier to put a new tee box in to make some of the more demanding holes shorter for regular play?
Many of the greens looked like they’d been hacked up by someone who’d purchased a hole cutter but forgot to read the instructions, the worst being a par 3 on the front 9, watching my ball roll toward the hole was like watching the grand national it had so many jumps! As for the bunkers, a bit of sand would probably be a good idea, most looked rock hard or 1-2 had water in. How when it’s not rained for a month is beyond me.
Think there were only 3 decent holes on the course 14,16 and 18 being the best, think these were from the original layout. Now for £18 I was not expecting Augusta but wow. Won’t be playing there again....
