Closed today
With the amount of rain last night and this morning I shudder to think what the course just look like.....
Don't think we'll be playing tomorrow

Course closed yesterday.
Course closed today.
Course closed tomorrow.
Will try to find another local venue to play tomorrow, but it's going to be soggy

Mine has been open all week winter greens and mats are compulsory as of today, hate they stupid winter greens and mats also have a new head green keeper starting on the 25th so might be some changes for the better

played this moring, not a bad day, a small shower on the 10th but apart from that Ok. Only 16 holes open as they are working on the new fairway bunkers on the 3rd and greenside on 4th.
played ok again, there was some controversy though, we were 1st group off an one of they guys went to the pro shop and got cards, handed them out for the team scores.. Winter card, and older ones when the 7th was played from the ladys tee on the old hole which was a par 4 at 470, current hole is 550, but a par 4 on that card. 8 and 9 used to be played as 175 yard par 3's on the winter card though we were still on the normal tee;s a 320, so had to play them as par 3' when they are par 4's on the normal card.

once all the scores were in it transpired all the other teams had used the normal cards, despit being all give winter cards.

had to do a count back, and we had won comfortably in the end cheeky buggers

Played in sunshine this morning.... as nearer perfect as you can get in mid November. Mostly dry underfoot, green A1... 4BBB Comp. Ended with 43 points, got about 39 on my own.

Well pleased till I saw a 47 leading the way!

First winter league fourball match, and a nice 2 and 1 win against a strong pair off 6 and 7. They were one over gross, and we were four over which is not too bad off 11 and 13. Hadn’t hit a ball for four weeks, and front nine it showed. Fortunately partner was on fire, and I chipped in when he had a bad hole.

Drive to club was through flooded roads, but course was in great condition with no surface water. Did manage to lose a leg off my stand bag, so just as well course was dry !

Lovely day round our home course today. Started like a train to be 2 under through 2 and narrowly missed a long putt for another on the par 3 3rd. Finished 2 over.

Little grip change paying dividend. Still have to fight with it to make it feel comfortable. Its crazy how your grip can move about over the years.

Lovely day today for a game if a bit cold. Course holding up well.

42 points off my 3/4's Winter handicap, happy with that

 

[upsidedown]

Played 9 this afternoon and course right on the borderline for being open, if the course closure policy I'm working comes to fruition it would have been a Carry only day . Still a lot of golfers happy as shut for 4 days over last weekend

Friendly at Grims Dyke today with two pals. Have been struggling with winter golf the last few weeks, today I decided to play a bit more stress-free, stop trying to bash hybrids up to the green and just hit 7 iron & wedge. Strategy paid off well as I shot my joint best round of 81 for 40 points. Putted really well which always helps if you're going to play that sort of strategy of course. Driver was behaving nicely as well. Really chuffed with that as I was getting a bit disillusioned with the winter golf really. It was 8°c apparently but no rain and no wind it actually felt quite nice.

Fully closed for 6 of the last 7 days. Still raining now. It’s the second week of nov and we have already had more than double the average rainfall through Oct and Nov.

On the plus side I’m playing County Down on Monday and speaking to the pro yesterday that’s mint with not a single fairway mat in sight.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Fully open although not buggies. Given the amount of rain we had last night on top of the amount we had yesterday daytime I thought the course would be very wet indeed. A couple of patches of standing water and one or two bunkers marked as GUR but all in all it played exceptionally well if long even off the yellows. Didn't play well and had 30 points so ticked back to 12.5 (13)

 

[Matty6]

Course was in great nick today. First time I’ve played under my new handicap (15), so was very happy. Shame it was during a losing winter knockout match ☹️

 

[patricks148]

played the winter league at the Kings, first time on a sat, slow and wet, played shite and got mucky troos.. 80 gross, even lost a ball

 

[Crow]

Friendly 4BBB match, not quite ticking and was short pretty much all day long, I blame the mud.
Lost £6.

 

[larmen]

Playing awful at the moment so I didn't join the roll up but went onto the academy course by myself. Anything that wasn't teed up got just duffed, and every 'drive' that was good got lost in the leafs. Found a red ball and played that for the last 2 holes and that was easy to find again.
But deadly from 70 yards in which was nice. Lesson coming on Tuesday, I think I need a total reset.

 

[upsidedown]

Wet dank and pretty miserable , course just about ok but enjoyed it . First time out in the WL and we were -8 from 15 holes but ended up 5th behind some guys -12 under !! Shot one under on my ball and struck the ball well, love playing off mats

Our course is not in a good state at the moment, although the greens are holding up fairly well. Boggy to say the least, but played well this morning when I came in with my second ever 75, 5 over par. 40 points, but still annoyed I finished off with 2 straight bogeys.

Played pretty well this weekend, 3rd in the weekend stableford. But... take me back to the firm fairways of Princes last weekend!

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Course in really good nick and drained really well even in 24 hours from playing in wet conditions on Saturday. Scored 28 points and haven't hit my irons well all weekend but bar one shank trying to be clever my short game was on point again.
