Level teeing ground comes up a lot.
Not surprising as teeing area tends to shift due to constant cutting.
if you could change one thing at your course, what would it be?

home club: stroke index they are just wrong!
Second club: to far away to be home club so i would like it closer to my house

what's wrong with them? They look to comply well with the CONGU recomendations.

Craig, if your 2nd club ( GOSWICK ) was closer to home, then it would be MY Home club too then

our SI 18 is the 4th hole but they have even looked back at the records of people scores on that hole over the year and its playing around SI 7 roughly strange i think
16th is our hardest hole on course but its SI 3 as they say its to late in the round to be SI 1
I would put a dome over it and have perfect conditions all year LOL... Nah not really would take the challenge of the elements away.
We start with a tough par 3. For me it means such a slow start to the round. I like the hole but wish it was later in the round.

'they' are correct
SI isn't about hardest or easiest - the position of the hole in the round is more important. the latest version of the advice on setting SIs does include reference to 'difficulty can be a factor' but previous versions didn't even include that! The Australian Golf Union has a recommended pattern of SIs regardless of difficulty - and this is applied to most courses out there now.

Isn't that good for spreading out the field early on?.. I like the idea of a long par3 to start... but not one that needs a 4-iron
(5-wood would be perfik!)

the par 3s would have several different tees , changing the yardage daily
i love that about par3s , one day the hole plays 120yrds the next it plays 160yds the next it plays 200yds
especially works with downhill par 3s

It definitely spreads the field. Raised tee and green, plays 165yds usually into the prevailing (links)wind - totally dead right and half dead left. Most are happy with a 4, and there are a lot of 5's.

Have to agree with Hawkeye's statement and turn the two nines around so we aren't starting on a 220+ yard par three. Plenty of hanging around even off the yellows (170 yards) and if we started on the 400 yard 10th two groups could be on the hole and it is right outside the pro shop and locker room so it could be managed better.
Other than that I'd die for a proper short game area with a decent green kept to the standard of those on the course. Sadly our practice area is turned into a coach park in Royal Ascot week so nowhere to build it there. There isn't really anywhere else bar a 40 yard area to the left of the 10th by a big property (think they would have objections) and given the cost to build it I don't think it will happen anytime soon

Think the only thing I would change would be to replace our casual 10th par 3 with the medal 10th par 3 as it's a much better golf hole and more of a challenge. Best bit about comp day's is getting to the 10th.

I like my course layout, bunkers are good and well kept but i've a small gipe about GUR, if it's GUR then repair it. We have two large shrubs that were taken out nearly three years ago, they are still marked GUR and are getting no work done to them.
We had 1 tee box with a terrible front to back slope but thats being fixed over winter.
The one major change not to the course but the club, we are in the throws of a soft intro over winter with a proper online booking system, we still had the old ball in the chute system which was murder on a Sunday morning when the weekly sweep would stick 6 balls in and tie up an hour. It made it extremely difficult to take a guest up on a Sunday morning.
