We are still on the short course, but just on temp green today, I definitely noticed that course is drying out, shame there is rain due to tomorrow and Friday.
As someone questioned why have half the course open, well in our case, part of the course, which is still referred to as new land 30 years after it was added, was on the site of an old colliery and is always a lot wetter than the rest of the course and is closed. We also have some groundwork being done so that has closed another couple of holes.

We have a nice new brook across the first fairway. Too smart to be called a ditch now.
What with the new sand in the bunkers course should be in good condition when I finally brave it again.

Despite several dry days in a row, we still only have 9 holes open, Nos 10-17 plus No 2. The course seems to be drying out nicely, but I think the course manager is waiting to see what effect forecast rain for Friday has on it. 
15 holes open yesterday and I didn't know, we're on Twitter, Facebook and have at times sent out a global email saying were shut, so why not use the same to tell us all it was open 😡 ! Ok I know we have a course information line but ringing it daily just became a little tiresome!
Will be phoning it in a couple of hours and try and get out later today 🏌

We've had 16 open since Monday. I went out on Tuesday afternoon and the course was in really good condition considering you couldn't see some of it for the standing water the other week. Competition today but rain is due in from lunchtime and forecast to carry on again for the next few days

we were down to 9 holes for a while, but back to full 18 again. looking forward to getting out on sunday after missing last weekend due to the snow.
We are still down to 9 holes, and there is a prospect that the course will be closed altogether again, if the forecast heavy overnight rain materialises!

Not good - especially during annual renewal time for fees

Heavy rain started this afternoon just as we had one hole to play and there was some water logging again as I left the club. May be touch and go again for tomorrow onwards I think.

Our fees are on a rolling basis you renew on the anniversary of when you join (or pay monthly on dd) so shouldnt affect that greatly, a lot of members been using our smartcard reciprocals where they can. Not a lot more the club can do, have added more drainage over recent years but the volume of rain theyve had is so far above previous years the water table just hasnt been able to drop at all (and obv the clay base doesnt help in this regard!)

So with it been closed for the past 3 weeks ? Will some stop their DD until it's back open again ?

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
