Anybodys course closed ?

Been mad up here for rain the last week, and various of the local courses are closed due to it, crazy for June:)

Ours has been closed for a couple days now. Pond on our 15th is usually kovel level water more used for drainage than anything but now it's over flowing according

I haven't checked but given the rain and the way it can handle water (not usually too well), it probably should be. I'm just hoping for dry weather from now until Saturday so I can play on the weekend... I'm not hopeful though.

Who can forget during last year's heatwave, The Sun proclaiming that all our Summers would be like that now :rolleyes:

Open with no restrictions.
Played yesterday and it was holding up well. A bit soft on the greens and a small puddle on one otherwise business as usual.
On and off steady rain today, nothing torrential.
Only issue is the greenkeepers may not have been able to cut the fairways so they could be a bit fluffy!

We've had 4mm of rain today. First in weeks and the ground is rock hard. I planted grass seed a couple of weeks ago and it's just showing. Who said it always rains in Scotland?

Open and in good condition.
Some bunkers have standing water but room to get a free drop.
All credit to the green keepers, as the course was renowned for flooding a few years ago.

I can't believe that my course has been open to main greens, a few bunkers are out of action but i think its held up very well.

Closed today for the first time, even with all the extra drainage and work we’ve recently done, it couldn’t cope and absorb the 30mm of rain each and every day we’ve endured this week!

Open and it played gorgeous, makes a change to hit a green and it stayed on the green. Every bunker is a pond. Every pond is a lake. Our 12 th has had a new tee installed over the winter with 130 yd over a bunker and massively full pond.. Opened last Saturday for our 20 th anniversary. Played it today for the first time. It's a lovely hole.

Nope and not sure why it might be ?

Great weather here at the moment and perfect conditions for a few games of golf

We have been open too throughout this wet spell.

Course greening up nicely and the rain has been most welcome to be honest, as with dry Spring and last year’s sunburnt ravages I had started to fear the worst.
