How is your course standing up to the weather?

[HomerJSimpson]

Temp greens first thing but back on full greens by 9.30. I was pleasantly surprised how the wind we've had in the last few days has dried a lot of the course. It's still very, very wet with every tee shot plugging and stopping dead and lots of muddy and waterlogged patches but all in all, much more playable that I'd hoped. Sadly I played rubbish. No blame to the conditions though

We had 13 holes open today but I couldn't get down there, my next swing will be on Broadstone

Course pretty much dry with the odd areas of soft ground in the rough - won't be long until buggies allowed full course

 

[Imurg]

Full course open tomorrow but carry only - first time I can recall it ever being carry only....
But little rain due sok maybe get a game Wednesday

Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

Its been dry for a few days now. Hope they can increase from 9 to 14 at least to get a comp on..

It's in excellent condition considering the state of it not so long ago. Fully open, no temps, greens cut, fairways brushed. Still some areas of water off the fairways and in some bunkers though.

Fully open today with just two temps

18 full greens today, but should have been off them TBH, frozen solid. went i a couple of bunkers, again frozen solid, so hard you could not even scratch the surface with the rake.

If they are frozen solid then not much damage can occur, we play on ours when they are solid as our course manager said its not hurting them, it's when they are thawing out the damage occurs

maybe, but usually the first sign of any frost..... winter greens so its out of character

Broadstoñe closed

 

[GreiginFife]

Heavy snow again today led to yet another closure. Three weeks running snow has closed us at the weekend and been fine through the week.

18 winter greens today. At 8am frost was still in. / on the ground so the right decision. As the sun came through the frost lifted and the course was much softer after that

 

[patricks148]

Snow here overnight, more due so no golf today for me. though i just had a look at the webcam and there were a couple of guys going out!!!

 

[Imurg]

Well, we had one day of push trolleys being allowed, no electrics, the first in a week.
It rained all afternoon and night and will probably be closed today and carry only tomorrow and the weekend....
Course was firming up, a bit squidgy in the usual places but very playable.
Now..?
It'll be several big lakes or swamps....
It has to start drying up soon...

 

[ArnoldArmChewer]

Closed whilst being inspected, annoying as we were drying out nicely, back to carry only for a while I guess

 

[louise_a]

After a week of dry weather, the course was drying out nicely although there were still very wet areas, but the rain on Tuesday night and yesterday as closed us again, not a great forecast for the next few days either.

 

[Deleted member 15344]

Course still fully open with the one temp hole

Played this morning and bar a few wet patches the course stood up well to the rain
