How is your course standing up to the weather?

[delc]

After all the recent rain, is your course still open? Ours is partly open, but with several holes out of use due to water logging!

Ours is open and actually in decent nick. Area just off the first tee is very wet, and there's an area behind the 3rd which is very wet, but other than that it's playing okay.

Closed for last 6 days now

Last time I played it was so wet balls were plugging just off the fairway.

The course shouldn't have been open.

Not played since, just hit the range.

Ours is very wet, it was open during the holidays but is closed today. I can't help thinking that it was only open last week because a lot of the members were off work, which, if true, is a bit shortsighted in my opinion.

minus 9 degrees and 7 inches of snow - course closed

Mines been closed more than its been open recently. More time spent at the range.

Not too bad. Wet and muddy in places but with us having 27 holes, a composite course is put together so as the most waterlogged can be taken out of rotation.

 

[Sybez]

Our green are perfect, but the rest of the course should be closed IMO as it's getting munched to pieces with footfall, trolleys and divots that don't/can't get put back!

Pretty much been closed since End of November, not stopped raining

closed for the last 3 days

Shut since New Year.

Not had a mow for a while either. So given how warm it is, the greens are like fairways and you could lose balls on the fairways even it they didn't plug (which they will).

It's my third winter at the club, and the most it's been shut up to now.

 

[spongebob59]

Closed today, absolutely saturated.

 

[Imurg]

As we're closed today I guess the answer is "not too well"...

Lightweight..no stamina you Europeans...:clap::whoo:

 

[rudebhoy]

Every course around here looks to be closed other than mine. They have put a new policy in place just before Christmas that they will never close the course due to waterlogging.

Apparently they had been getting loads of stick with some folk complaining the course should be open when they had closed it, and others saying it should be closed after playing in bad conditions. They have taken the view that they can't win either way, so they are leaving it up to the members whether they want to play or not.

They have got temp greens and fairway protection on, so I guess the thinking is that anyone playing isn't going to do any long-term damage.

Ours would be ok as the flooding has subsided on the majority of the course....unfortunately, the driveway is still underwater and the electric bollard is stuck in the 'up' position as the electrics are fried !!

 

[Leereed]

Ours is open greens ok most tee's are ok.Some of the fairways in parts are very well and all the bunkers are gur some will have 2 feet of water in them.

 

[CliveW]

Courses are open, but all roads leading to the club are closed.

Any club up here still open will only be damaging itself. I can't see why you would want to play in this but even if you did you should be stopped. You can only damage the course in the conditions that exist here at the moment. Note I am talking about my area, I can not comment on conditions elsewhere. I don't pass my club so I don't know if it is open but I passed Morpeth GC yesterday and the closed sign was up there.
