Course information line, sometimes on Twitter but that's pretty rare, we don't utilise social media sites as much as we should IMO!
How do you find out..?

Just had an email from the head greenkeeper saying he can't commit to tomorrow due to rain forecast overnight but email will be sent at 7.30am. Pretty impressed with that service.

Website usually updated relatively early each day. We even had an email today!

Our club website has been updated daily for the past week, usually before 6am.

The course status is on the home page of the website and is updated early morning.

You have to drive up to the course to see the course closed sign by the front door. Not often put out but to my knowledge it has gone up at least three times in the last few weeks.

Facebook, Twitter, website and phone. Email but only when compared are on and they are cancelled. Usually all about 7 in the morning so gives plenty warning.

I just check the weather app on my phone - if it shows heavy rain, then I won't be playing anyway!

We get an e-mail whenever the status is updated on the website. At least that's what happened the only time the status has changed since I joined.

This is a more sensible way, especially for non members wishing to check. Whilst we members have to log in to check on the website, the daily email negates that and suffices for me. Forgot to say that we also have a course information line that carries a recorded message update each day.

Via daily course condition updates on the club website.

Greenies now have a Twitter account which updates each day at about 7:45 - this is embedded on the website too.

It's perfectly fine Bob.
It's basically an answer phone on a mobile. Even if the line is engaged you still get through to the recorded message (Voicemail).

Email each time the course status changes, on the website, and an automated phone line.

In the 1990's I was managing a very busy course and weekend morning inspections were a nightmare. We had at least 60 golfers queuing from 4am to book times for the following week most of whom were also expecting to play on that day from first light. [We did a roaring trade in breakfasts]
It was always funny to see the anger/joy when the decision to open/close the course were made, many had traveled 40+ miles to play.
Course closed was generally met with..........'we have played in much worse that that' type comments [the had not even seen the course]
Course open was generally met, after they had played with........'that was awful, they should never have opened the course'.
Ah ...the good old days eh!

Never been closed yet, so I'm yet to find out. But I'm assuming website would be updated. Wouldn't hold my breath though as we still have November's monthly newsletter being our latest one out
