Centurion Golf Club

[Deleted member 15344]

Today I was very honoured to play with Rick , Bob and Fundy at the Centurion Club

I had been looking forward to it and was worried that I was getting over excited and would feel disappointed but it was the totally opposite

From the minute you walk through the gate you know you are at a Golf Club that is for it members - the welcome is perfect , the staff are friendly as our the members - all extremely welcoming and full of those little nice touches that make the place special - they may have a temporary clubhouse but it's a great temporary clubhouse.

The course itself at times left me speechless - wonderful views and the change in contrast from hole to hole was outstanding. The first three holes in the woods are cracking but then the holes just appear before you in amongst lovely mounds. Every hole is different and every hole has it's out individual features that make the course special. When it really matures it is going to be a top team course and a great golf club.

The day was great and was made even better by the great company and the great golf - Bobs birdies on 12 and 13 were a joy to watch

Cheers for a great day Rick and also the guys at the club - they have got themselves a special members golf club

I told you you'd love it, how many went in the water after driving up the fairway to the dogleg where the large pond is then at the bottom with the green immediately behind?

The pics are really of the course are really good, the mugshots however

everytime I see pics of the this course it gets better and better. I can see it moving up the top 100 very quickly once it gets the permanent clubhouse in place and the course matures a little bit more.

It can't be much of a club if they let you wear pyjamas on the course

Yes you did

Cheers Rick for yet another cracking day, can already see the course starting to settle more from last time, such a wonderful place to spend an afternoon, especially as for the 2nd day running Phil ordered the weather. Great company as always and great to meet and play with the legend that is Bobmac, and thanks for the little pointer, sorry I didnt help you out a little more (or a lot lol)

The victors were myself and Rick.

A great front 9 give us a great early lead and despite some cracking back to back birdies from Bob a couple of clutch putts gave us a hard fought win

We played of the black tees as well which for some reason turned 480 par 5s into 499 par 4's !!!

It's a fantastic test of golf as well as a pleasure to play

If a golfer doesn't enjoy themselves there then they might as well pack up !

Does this course expose any particular part of your game?

On yesterdays evidence it exposes every part of your game, or at least it did mine!!! Depending on which tees you play off then it puts a huge premium on driving the ball well (especially if you play off the back tees at over 7100 yards as we did yesterday!) If you drive it in play and a decent length then a scores very possible but miss the greens the wrong side and you'll need to be very tidy with the short game

Driving , long irons , short irons , chipping , bunker shots , putting

It's long and very tight , play it safe and and don't get too brave and you will be rewarded- certainly rewards the straighter driver

Oh crap!

Oh crap!

My best advice - just relax and enjoy it - it's a joy to play regardless of what you score

Surely that depends hugely on the company you play with.

Now, I've never met you, but the others?
