Arrived early to use the practice area, upon leaving my car I was warmly welcomed by a few members exiting the 18th green while I walked to the club house. The pro shop was well equipped and provided a prompt service while I collected my score card. The lad on the desk came out to fix the ball dispenser on the small range as it took my money but didn't release the balls!
Other than that I had no problems. A member did warn me that the greens were extremely fast when I approached the 1st tee, thank god as the practice putting green is currently out of order due to being reseeded by the looks of things! that was a little disappointing to be honest, after reaching the 1st green I soon realised the speed, resulting in a dreaded 3 putt haha... the normally get rolled on a Monday morning apparently. Due to the time of year the whole course was playing off the winter tee boxes, unless you were a lady they still had 75% of their tee boxes operational. fairways were good, quiet mossy but as the course is full of pine trees then its not unusual to see this, it gave character!
most bunkers were under repair as they were rebuilding the faces, they looked like they are going for a links style, small and deep. The greens were in excellent condition, smooth yet fast, and must be deadly in the summer months, even though it was 14 degrees in the middle of February, they were still soft enough to stop the ball dead with my 8 iron! Overall I really enjoyed my round at The Millbrook today, I might even become a member in the next couple of months.
