How is your course standing up to the weather?

[TheCaddie]

Has been open every day apart from yesterday and today!

Ours has been open when the weather has permitted and closed when it's been too bad or wet. Last played on there a week ago and it was in good condition all things considered.

It generally drains well, so if we get a dry spell it will hopefully be open more often. That said, this week's forecast isn't filling me with hope, more range practice if it is accurate.

Put it this way:

Ours is in such good nick that we are having an away day at Chiltern Forest tomorrow
Its a bit "Mountain Goat" territory, but cabin fever beckons if we dont

South east London hasn't had quite the same level of rain that other areas have. But it's still wet wet wet. And being on heavy clay doesn't help - entire course is saturated and seriously soft. Been closed for 4 days now but hopefully back open at weekend.

Course has been closed for the last couple of weeks on days that I've been free to play, my first day off today since Jan 1st and oh look, closed again. We didn't even have much rain yesterday either!

 

[BrizoH71]

Currently open, but very very heavy with the rain... still standing water in a few spots and walkways are churned with footfall/trolleys.

Not sure how much more rain we can take; we were closed for several days during the worst of the weather, but course is playable and playing off mats currently.

Our course is closed and has been since Monday. It's very rare we close it, so must be very waterlogged!

 

[matt71]

We are open today after being closed for the past 3. However carry only as course still wet!

It has been a tough month or so and think we been closed for around 27 days over the past 2 months ! really been hit by the bad rain but the grenkeeprs are still doing a good job trying to keep the course in good condition

 

[dewsweeper]

We are open but on temps, the first time at our club for about 13 years.
Expect to be back on the greens for Saturdays comp.
We are lucky to have a well draining course but the rainfall here thelast few weeks has been horrendous.

River came over flood bank so under 2m of water on Boxing Day. 9 holes opened this morning. No sand in bunkers. No rakes. No benches. No winter mats. No surface on paths. All somewhere on the way to the North Sea.

 

[Wayman]

Ours is open will find out how wet it is on saturday

Sods law.......After playing only twice in the 2 weeks I was off over Christmas, we now have bright skies for the next couple of days and I'm sat looking out of the office window. Come the weekend, the forecast is for it to be hosing down. Great.

Our course has stood up to the weather really well, Played Saturday Sunday at the weekend and Sunday Monday the weekend before. Most of our course is on a sand base and with the exception of a couple of holes drains very well, even firm in places. The greens have been quite bumpy, but it is winter and we can't expect too much. They have been cut recently as well.

 

[Matty6]

The big yellow thing in the sky made an appearance today so I'm hoping my local course will be back open tomorrow/Friday.

 

[delc]

We still only have 11 holes open. I'm just wondering if I can get 38% of my membership fee back! :mmm:

Still closed, the issue is there's not a clear 48hrs or more for anything to drain away, if it's dry in the day it rains in the night, and visa versa, the water levels are that high the slightest bit of rain just sits on top and were heading for more rain tonight and over the weekend, we need a cold snap and a full week of dry weather.

Cold snap on the way but doesn't look dry so that may bring snow!

Looks like very little rain forecast for me over the 10 days but looks like it will be cold.
