How is your course standing up to the weather?

Obviously you'd hope not, the club give one grace of stopping then rejoining, if you do it a second time they then require a year in advance or pay a higher monthly fee. As far as Im aware its quite rare that people try and do this (there will always be the odd one)

I feel bad as Ive not been paying mine since just before the weather turned because of my knee, everyone else is paying and played about as much as I have

Hopefully the break in the weather will get the course back open - I know Tony is vert frustrated at the moment
 
Well, we were open today
Probably only because most of the course was still frozen
As we went round the ground was getting softer and softer with more water coming up under your feet.
Without the freeze it would still be almost unplayable
And with the rain due tomorrow along with the thaw....good job I can't play again until next Thursday
 
Another e-mail from club today and still shut but hoping to open 9 on weekend if no rain. Have to say weather has been glorious here in the Alps and forecast good for last days skiing tomorrow .WP_20160120_14_07_01_Pro.jpg
 
We were open the last few days, well 15 holes were, I couldn't get away to play so left today free, and what does it do, it bloody rains in the night topping it back up and closes it 😡
 
after it being very cold for the last 3 weeks, with the temp hardly getting above freezing, but the course has been open.

what a change, gone up to almost 10 deg at the moment in Inverness and Nairn is back on full greens today, might even play tomorrow.
 
last three holes have been closed due to flooding run-off from neighbouring farmland limiting accessibility. Hopefully will be in olay tomorrow as I have a Winter League match. But though it's been dry for a few days it's raining today so may knackerf things again, Otherwise course has (apparently) been fine - I say 'apparently' as I haven't played for 6 weeks.
 
Course fully open with a couple of temp tees and greens :whoo:
 
Our course is closed again after only moderate amounts of overnight rain! Problem is that the water table is so high that there is nowhere for the water to drain to, even though the course normally drains pretty well! :(
 
Just received an email from the club saying we will have 15 holes open tomorrow but carry only 👍🏌
 
Currently 18 open with 2 temp greens....booked in on Sunday morning for first game in 8 weeks....everything crossed!
 
Course fully open with one temp green and a couple of temp tees

Green playing lovely after 4 days of frost :whoo:
 
The course is open today with 4 temp greens, I am playing in the morning so fingers crossed we don't get snow/fog/rain/plague or pestulance overnight, I havnt played for a month so I just want to play golf - please !!!!
 
15 holes today, only temps were those from the winter drainage programme, if you stayed on the fairway you were fine, I strayed once and lost a ball, obviously plugged in soft ground, nice to clear the cobwebs.
 
Our course has nine holes open today, on proper tees and greens. The open holes are mostly on the back nine, which are built on gravel. We really need a couple of weeks of dry weather to dry out the front nine, which are on more clay based soil, but more rain is forecast. Will this wet winter ever end?!!! :(
