Conwy - December/January time

[Deleted member 21258]

just back from the club, weather now updated to be heavy rain from 6am to 3pm , will check in the morning by 9.30 with the club and update the thread, to check if the course is open and playable, as would imagine a few hours of heavy rain may close it?

The forecast doesn't look good at all, I know it tends to drain pretty quickly but if reports are correct re standing water on greens it's only going to get worse.

I'll keep an eye on this thread.

Looking very doubtful.

If its been standing water on a links today, plus heavy rain from 5.00 am, I reckon its too big a gamble. I'll check in at 9 tomorrow on here, but only a 30% chance I'll take the gamble.

Shame, but I'm willing to go again in the coming weeks, if this doesnt go ahead.

Think youd be barmy to play. Based on yesterday I'd advise you to postpone for a day when you can actually enjoy the place.

Shame for you, and the caterers who were planning on record toast sales, but hopefully you'll get a boss day next time.

We've sacked it chaps, due to that weather. Me, stu and Dave mc, that is.

Hope the course holds out for those that go for it, but deffo up for a knock in the next few weeks there, if we sort it again.

Thanks to Darren for organising.

Course is open, 15th in temp and very wet, just spoken to pro shop.

We have snow here and due to be heavy for the hours.

Greenbay, Nashy, Everty, we are still going to come, if you want to play ? (if you don't let us know in the next hour). Just in case we get stuck in snow, we have okayed it with the pro shop that you can book in with the tee time in our name and just pay guest rate of £15. :thup:Think course maybe dead:rofl:

For the liverloopers, I think that say its a no goer and we rearrange for the next few weeks, as would ne nice to meet you lot:thup:

Just seen a tweet from head greenkeeper saying course open but wet in places. 15th is also on a temp due to water on green. Watching golf on tv in bed seems more attractive.

Just to confirm 100%, me and adam(think Joanne would rather do then ironing:rofl are definitely going and will play at least 10 holes if not all of them. We are calling itTerrible Turnberry training:clap:

I believe Nashy is still going, Green bay is going to turn up as well. Not heard from everton.

Will hopefully leave about 10am and arrive at 11.30-11.45 depending on snow conditions up the road. See you there whatever your names are oo:

Thanks to Darren, Joanne and Adam for hosting and Nashy for the game. Thought we were in for a right drenching but there was only heavy rain for about 5 holes. Not sure what was happening when we played 11 but the wind was so warm you'd have thought it was the middle of summer. The round took just over 3 hours as almost everyone else had been scared off by the forecast.

Glad to hear you got away with it.:thup:

Was there any standing water on the greens?

I'm probably free this coming Sunday, what condition was the course in generally?

There was quite a bit of water on the greens, especially the last. A lot of the pins were placed on the high points, where possible, and there were probably about five greens where water was a problem. The 15th was also a temp, less than 100 yards.

Overall the course was in pretty good nick considering the amount of rain there has been in the last week. Most of the bunkers seem to be GUR as they are having work done on them or are flooded.

I will second that, I really enjoyed it and the course held up very well with the amount of water it had on it. Tough conditions today with the wind and rain. I would like to play it in the summer to see how it plays when it's hard and fast.

Really glad we drove over, really enjoyed it and cough cough kind of got lucky with the weather, only got soaked to the skin for 5 holes:rofl:

That was freaky weather up the 11th, very strange felt like someone had turned the heater on

Thanks GBH and Nashy for coming almost millionaires golf and thanks for the drink GBH. Hope to have another game with you both, in nicer conditions:thup:

Hopefully some of those birdy putts will drop next time.

Perhaps it was the Tradewinds that made their way over from last weeks Sony Open in Hawaii!!!!!!

We are probably going this sunday, not 100% at the moment. Not quite sure who out of us would be going, probably all 3, keeping an eye on the weather and got to check with Mum if wishes to come. Not that stops us booking another tee time, would just restrict makeup of groups(ie I would play with Joanne & mum). That said Adam doesn't like playing with his dad/mum, don't think we are cool anymore:rofl:

The course as such is pretty dry, off the forward green tees and greens were rolling fine for time of year but a lot of bunker are being redone. basically winter golf.

Thanks Darren, but said yes to a knock at Wallasey in the meantime, so the family outing is back on.

I will get over there in the next month or so, though.:thup:

Hi Darren, any chance of rearranging this for Feb 10th? I’m down in Wales that weekend. Have spoke to a few of the boys and they’d be up for a game

cheers mate

Sorry Saturdays are Mens comps day and no daylight tee times available on Saturday as a result at this time of year, therefore a no goer.
