Merrist Wood Golf Club
Played On 12/05/2020A much better course in the summer....
Played here a few times, but not in winter conditions and it was very boggy. In a 4-ball we lost 3 balls between us on just 2 holes - they were plugged without trace although we had a good eye on their lines :-(
So won't be going back agin until spring and won't play in the winter unless they have significant drainage works done. Shame, because played in dry conditions its a good and challenging course.
Also, I know we just come out of lockdown into tier-2, but whilst we could buy a hot sausage roll, on a freezing cold day we couldn't buy a hot drink as the catering was completely shut. Not even a coffee machine. I think thats very poor for cusomers and must lose a lot of revenue for the club at a time they need it.
Twisted Stone Golf Course
Played On 06/08/2018Could be a great course...
I played here last winter and the course was in poor condition which I thought was a shame as it has a reasonably good layout and some challenging holes. With the summer upon us I thought it would be a good opportunity to try it out again in the hope it would now be in good condition. Alas no, seems to be suffering from lack of investment. Although not unplayable, some of the fairways were ropey and majority of the greens were awful - seems they are not watered so are mainly just dead grass.
I think with investment the layout could make it a great course to play, but unfortunately I'm not going back unless things change significantly.
