My course is fine, 4BBB this Sunday gone. Course played canny, bunkers are GUR but quite a few are being worked on.
This weather?!?!

Rain, rain, rain. Though Saturday early afternoon it wasn't too bad for a couple of hours - so we ended our round dry. Then it started raining again. Course is very wet underfoot in some marginal areas - but all fairways mostly dry. Bunkers mostly drain well - and didn't spot any holding water. Plus our greens drain from flooded in about 20minutes - and so played really nicely.

Another day of rain, some light but some heavy
Course has been open mostly but, in my opinion, it shouldn't have been at times.
I think the Greenkeepers have been told to keep it open barring major flooding.
Parts of the course resemble a moto-cross track.
Got a chance to play 3 times this week and I'm not sure I'm going to get any in at all.
Seriously looking at spending some money and moving on.....

Wet again but still fully open (no buggies). Looks like it'll be layer on layer though by the weekend and a thick woolly hat and mittens. Feels like at 8.00 looking like -2
Been up since 4am and the rain hasn’t stopped....
i think its just stopped here..... not sure for how long though

But as I am not playing it doesn't matter too much to me - though too much rain does hold up the Greens team doing our ongoing bunker re-modelling and new bunker building work

It must be so demoralising for greenkeepers this time of the year
Country membership at a heathland course (Woodhall Spa) is really showing dividends with my home course now being closed all week thus far with constant daily rain not allowing the course to recover.
Allows me to look forward to the weekend to play 18 holes on great fairways & greens.

Temperatures due to fall drastically in the next few night. Expecting the course to be frosty on Saturday, to the point where I wonder if we'll go to temps. Feel like predicted at -3 for Saturday and Sunday. On the plus side with the ribs hurting I doubt I'll bother too much. Might rock up to see the guys first thing, have a coffee and a fry up and maybe some chipping if the green thaws when the sun gets up and back in for the scores and a beer

Believe the rain coming down here tonight may very well close down our course for the next week or so, meaning I’ve played my last round of golf for the year.

Hopefully get out Monday and Tuesday next week. Forecast looks ok for me plus I've got bats to christen.

This is the main reason I’m not a member.
Courses closed & even when open it wouldn’t be enjoyable golf for me.

Even more reason to renew my country membership of a heathland course, I’ve never known our [parkland] course closed so much, even though we’ve been open much more than neighbouring courses, but with a river running through our course, we’ve been under water not just excessively wet as the river has burst its banks in parts never seen before, such is the amount of rain we've endured.
Wish I was slightly closer to the coast, although it would be bitterly cold and exposed In the winter, I’d join a links course as a home course and a heathland as an away course to ensure all year round golf.

Absolutely bitter yesterday in the wind and it belted down overnight and equally cold so swerved today with an eye on playing tomorrow instead. Looks slightly warmer and less windy but think the course may have struggled with so much rain the last 48 hours. Had held up well when I played from Friday nights rain yesterday so fingers crossed the wind will have helped dry it

Snow down to very low level on the Western fells this morning.
Took the little lad to the driving range this afternoon which was empty.
Not the weather to be playing, about 4 degrees with a strong cold wind blowing.

Was this after you rescinded the no dogs, no women rule?
