Your at Lee Park arent you? I went back a couple of weeks ago, I agree they where in fantastic condition.
Played Blundells hill also in the same week, the start of the good weather, apparently they took a chance and did their work early on the greens, although they did not roll as well Lee Parks they were super quick for what was the 2nd week in April.
As for my Club, Ecceleston Park, they greens are also fantastic, very receptive dispite all the try weather and roll as well as bowls on a carpet. Maybe could be a touch faster.

Not bad for the time of year especially just after they've been cut with more grass on them than usual which should mean they only get better when we get some rain.

Crap at the minute. opinion at the club are that they are as bad as they've been for 5 years.
Cored 3 weeks ago, bumpy as anything, can't trust a line

Good, running fast and true.
Only complaint would be the number of unrepaired pitch marks left by lazy golfers.

ours were cored in the second week of April - they were poor the first Saturday, better but still slow and bobbly the weekend before last and absolutely superb this Saturday - can't remember as big an improvement in one week before - they must have been stimping at 10-10.5. Had first round handicap knockout match on Saturday and went 3 up after 3 and almost 4 up after 4 (turned into 2 up after 4!! ). But won the match on 17 with a roughly 25 yard put!!

Last time I played on ours they where really bad, dry as a bone so no stopping on them, bobbles throughout, bald patches and the holes crowned. Mentioned this to ass pro and he said "its council golf", I paid £427 for the year and am already thinking of taking the loss and moving to a private course where the clubhouse isn't like a working mens club.

The most common compliment after a putt on ours is "looked good in the air".
I must have had 3 bobble off line within a couple of feet of the hole today.

Only three went off line.....Played Royal Musselburgh last night and the greens are truly dreadful. One fool said it's the same for everybody......oh, thats okay then.
Some of our greens look atrocious with a lot of moss in there. I would have thought the staff would have treated that by now especially in the last month. That said they are speeding up quite nicely and are still pretty good to putt on. I think they will come back but as long as a ball stays on the line I pick and they are relatively quick then I can live with them not looking pristine

Shocking.
For the first time I can remember I'm not too fussed about playing at the moment. I have only got the putter out thebag if it's a match or comp, any knockabouts and I'll drag the ball to the fringe and have a chip.
Complained to greens chairman who said the greenleeper had told him that the soil temp was still too low for growth. It's been the hottest April on record FFS!!!
The head greenleeper is a mate but it is not on to have them so bad, my £800 may well be looking for a new home next year, sadly

Very good.
Our greens were getting heavily critised by almost all of the members some 4 weeks ago, but they have come good and are now superb. Flat as glass and getting quicker by the day!
