Fairways are a tad soft
How is your course standing up to the weather?
- Thread starter delc
- Start date
Sodden again. Buggies banned. Hoping it'll dry out for the weekend
Website still showing our course as closed. As it had dried out quite nicely by the end of last week, the recent rainfall must have been of almost Biblical proportions. Anybody building an Ark?

Ours is great underfoot - firm and dry. With sandy soil we drain well - but the water table is not far from the surface.
It is a fret for me that were I to move away from this part of the world I would most likely be a member of a club that is not so lucky with soil and drainage...unless I went for links - which I might well do. And when I read of the travails and issues that abound at this time of year for so many clubs across the country. Hmmm.

We weren't too bad and recovering nicely before the rain yesterday. That's changed...

Trolley ban back on. Played this afternoon, it is pretty wet after yesterday's rain, and a few areas have been really churned up before they put the ban back on.

Oh that's not good at all
Very, very wet especially the back nine. Balls plugging again. Greens holding up well though
Played for the first time in a couple of weeks and I have to say our place is in a shocking state.
The greens are awful, several with very little definition around the fringes, and the green surrounds are an awful mess. Many of the tees are devoid of grass. I've mentioned it here before that our owners try to pacify us and justify this by saying we are open all year. Quite, but at what cost? It's going to take so long to recover that I question the sense of it.
So our place is in an appalling state. I'm very interested to learn how your courses are, particularly those which were sensible enough to shut when the weather was at its worst.

Course is shaping up very nice
Fairways getting a lovely bounce on them -'tees looking good
The greens though are outstanding at this time of the year - best greens I have played so far

Ours is getting better, but still a couple of big areas of GUR on two fairways (5th and 16th). Greens are still a bit bobbly after recent hollow tining and scarifying.

Tis lovely, dry and firm underfoot - and I think I'll go for a few holes straight after work. Will maybe get 5 in.

after being 75% under water on Wed 10th we reopened with restrictions on Monday 14th, all restrictions now lifted,
Find out tomorrow after. Day off practicing and playing. Expecting it to have dried and be in good nick. They had slit the greens last week so hoping these have grown over now
