Course closed today - very extraordinary as rain never usually stops play, but its been biblical down here.
How is your course standing up to the weather?

WP was closed on Friday, Sat and Sun and only had 14 holes open before and was very wet in places. Enville closed just yesterday. I played at Enville today where 9 holes were open on each course and they were fine.

I Played 9 holes this morning and enjoyed it, but the course was the wettest I have ever seen it, and I have played a fair bit over this winter. Lots of standing water.

Were closed as are 95% of most courses around here, any that are open and not on sand with excellent drainage should be closed IMO.

Elton Furze closed today - must be very wet as when we joined they prided themselves on not closing apart from for snow!
Brampton open but 16 and 17 closed. Wouldn't want to play the other 16 holes though!
Mud and more mud - more than had enough of it now.

I have no idea how the courses are doing. There's absolutely no way I'm stepping foot on a golf course in the weather we've had.

Ours is open, winter tees but normal greens still. But over here we did not have nearly as much rain as you guys in the UK did. Our course was closed for two or three days at the beginning of December after some heavy rainfall but was opened again once the rain stopped. The fairways do start to look pretty awful and muddy though and even with pick and place it is sometimes difficult to find a spot that still has some grass left on it. So as much as I love to be able to continue to play, I would understand if they had to close it down because of the wetness. Germany is caught between Siberian cold air with temperatures below -16 °C and much warmer (yet wetter) air blowing in from the Atlantic. And I don't mind being on the warmer side of that ... I hate the cold.
Isn't Brampton Heath on sand, I've played quite a few of their winter series comps and have never seen much waterlogging, but then we've not had what we've endured over the last couple weeks before!

It is but Amanda is referring to Brampton Park

Being on sand hasn't made a difference with the amount of rain we've had here.
Ours and St Annes Old links closed today. Ours only been open 1 day out of 10 maybe and probably shouldn't have been. SAOL had a couple of days closed which is unheard of, got a nice new water feature around the 16th green when I played there last week

Ours was open Saturday and Sunday. Saturday it was fine and Sunday OK until lunchtime. Would have thought it self closed after lunch. Did you get to play at all Iain?

I played Wharton in between Xmas & New Year, like you said, only managed 14 holes and two where on Temp greens with the 16th Tee box also shut. Was holding up better than i thought.
O/T but what does the takeover mean for members? Got myself a lesson with Angus tomorrow night so I'll ask him the same.

Yep played Saturday, just assumed it was closed Sunday with the stupid amount of rain we had!! If anyone was willing to go out in that they were welcome to it being open!!!

Ah, it was OK until mid morning. Me and Cooky came off after 9 though. HID and Michael carried on.

Pretty muddy in places but more than playable.

Not too bad really. We're still open and allowing trolleys. If the rain is heavy and persistent enough puddles will appear but they mostly drain away again pretty quickly, apart from that it's in good shape.
