Bonnes

Although the picture of the course made it look nice, and the clubhouse is nice, never have we ever encountered a course in such appalling condition. I have labelled the course extremely challenging but that is because the tee boxes were mainly bare dirt, sand or overgrown weeds. Many of the fairways and the general areas looked liked they had been lifted from the Battle of the Somme. The 'greens' were slow and in very poor condition. They all had clumps of weeds growing across them and several had big patches that were worn away leaving dusty loose sand and dirt to putt through. Some of the potentially interesting holes that require you to tee off over vegetation or to play an approach shot over similar conditions onto a green were made impossible by the fact they were so overgrown and unruly that it was impossible to get any idea of what you were playing to. I should have looked at the reviews before booking this as there are many others of a similar nature. Golf Now might want to look at whether they continue to offer this course to its members. An absolute waste of money! On the plus side, never have we played a game with so much (hysterical) laughter and the hot dog in the bar afterwards was great!

It was great to be able to play Glen Eagle today after it was closed during the summer last year. The course changes they have made were well thought through. The course itself was in absolutely tip top condition. The fairways were beautifully kept and the greens were just superb even if they were a little fast for us Brits used to playing in the rain and mud! Everyone from the course superintendent, Steve, and his staff, the staff in the pro shop and the staff in the restaurant/bar were all welcoming, friendly and helpful. Bearing in mind this is a members course which is not always available on Golf Now, they were exceptionally accommodating, as always, and we shall look to play there many more times during our visits. Thanks guys!
