Hope it's better before then Jan as we've a Sunday Driver there at end of April & I've not been before. Do both courses dry out the same? Any info welcome. ??

Sorry delayed response ?
No improvement yet....... Although not as bad as some places. They are closing the courses so hopefully will protect them for later in the year. The lakes floods a bit in one place so gets closed but the woods back 9 has been very muddy. New HGK this year and hotel is being revamped so hope you have a great week end.

Have just emailed Forest Pines to find out what their stance is with our booking bearing in mind the current situation and the possibility of a "lock down"...
Might be panicking but I'd rather know now than in 4 or 5 weeks time.
Will let you know their response when I receive it.

I'm not sure of the age demographic but it wont help if over 70's are in lockdown ?

Thanks Rob. I was thinking about this last night.

Could have a word with el Tigre golf course in Mexico. All seems well over here. ?

 

[Smiffy]

Well, I've had a response. Doesn't really tell me much.....

Hi Rob,
As you can appreciate it is a developing situation, however we are currently open.
Obviously if things change we will be in touch to discuss the next steps.
Kind regards
Karen

I'm going to have to call in the balances within the next week or so, but rest assured I am not going to send it off to the hotel unless I know it's safe should the trip not go ahead.

Impossible situation for them to comment on at this time, as she rightly states, it’s a developing situation, if they have to cancel because of govt policy advise, then we’ll get refunds, if you’re unsure, pay the deposits to them with a credit card for extra security.

Had a Sunday/Monday golf trip to FP on 8th / 9th and for those who haven't played it before course looked stunning, considering the winter deluge, walked off with clean shoes
Greens need a bit of work but I'm sure they'll be in good shape by end of May.

Hope all your work isn't for nothing Rob!!

 

[Beezerk]

I hope this still goes ahead, really looking forward to it ?

 

[Smiffy]

Well, whatever the next few month bring, I've got to pull in the balance monies. If everyone can start paying them now I will update the payments list as soon as I receive them.
Rest assured though, I will leave paying the balance until the last possible moment, or at least until I know that our money is safe. Nobody will be out of pocket.

Macdonald Hotel & Resorts are closing a lot of their hotels with immediate effect.

I think a few more will follow suit now.

 

[Tashyboy]

Bloody golf course I was gonna play on thursday had announced it is shut as from tomorrow.
Could do with Doon over here to slash a few tyres.

Bordering between Old fart and whippersnapper.

Highly unlikely to go ahead I would think. Hopefully Pines don’t arse around with this.

My fingers are firmly crossed on this. Forest Pines have a history of being tough on bookings, I've had my run-ins with them in the past. But I am not going to commit any further cash to them until I have assurances that any monies paid will be refunded IN FULL.
My own thoughts are that this will not be going ahead but I have to carry on collecting the money "just in case".... I don't want a mad rush nearer the time.
Your understanding, and cooperation at this time would be much appreciated.
