Thwarted by the weather, course is closed (as are many around here it seems). Now going to The Hampshire instead.

Finally got to play it yesterday. Nice easy starting par 3, was a bit short off the tee but got par. I'm not a long driver and so came up just short of the ditch on the 2nd. Greenkeeper was waiting for me to play my next shot but I misfired, which was just as well as I didn't realise the hole doglegged right and a well hit shot would have been out of bounds.
The 3rd has a wide area before the fairway that is denoted "environmentally sensitive" and cannot be entered, of course my drive dropped right into it.
I must complain about the state of the bunkers....they had proper sand in them! I've been practising all winter in bunkers as hard as concrete, how was I supposed to play in sand...
Play was pretty quick, completed in 3 1/2 hours even though I had to wait on the last few holes. All in all I enjoyed it.

I'm sure Homer keeps going on about how tough an opening hole it is. Maybe you need to give him tips on how to play it

Only 160 off the yellows. 229 off the whites with a tree encroaching off the tee. Different beast altogether

Glad you enjoyed it and made good time. Shame you couldn't have played last week after the Jamega Tour had been in town and the greens were pure and lightening quick. We've done a lot of work on the greens and it's a continuing work in practice. The environmental area has claimed many a ball so don't worry about it. It's a course that has a few nuances and you need to learn where you can and can't put it on each hole but I hope you'll return and perhaps we can get a game

Would they have deteriorated much in a week?

Didn't seem to have, they were very fast. I had plenty of chips/putts that I thought would end up within a couple of feet but reality ended up 6 feet past.

Played here today for £20 on tee times as my place was busy. Must say, there are some good holes and seems a friendly club. Worth a trip.

I've been shouting about this thread re-starting for weeks and weeks but no-one heard me. My voice must be a little hoarse.
