Top courses in worst condition

peld said:
Dumbarnie Links, easily the best conditioned course I have ever played (in 2020 & 2021) has just shut until June because of the greens.
Had seen several people on the Scotland Golf facebook group complain about the greens. Odd that it was utterly perfect last year and its only this winter (which was fairly light on snow and frost) they were ruined. They must have done something to them and it didnt work.

At least you are consistent with your incompetence with dates!:rolleyes:
Almost all of my time there was post-bailout and rest was pre Fred's ABN-Ambro 'deal' that caused it! :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Two spring to mind.

Slaley Hall. Wasn’t quite the Augusta of the North. It was many years ago that I last played there, but both courses were in disappointing condition, especially the greens.

The other was Desert Dunes in Palm Springs. There was massive patches on the greens what were just dead and replaced with sand.
 
Looks like Dumbarnie closure has been extended till mid June.....

Not going to be fleecing many Yanks this season at this rate.

I really hope they have put the effort in as the layout of both courses is good....... also 6 out of 30 of us came back with Covid :eek::eek:

Think they've put the effort in. Greens on the Nicklaus course we're a bit scabby in places but didn't affect your putt. They were very good on the Cheshire, which we all preferred out of the 2 courses. Both in great condition too. Had a great time, bar prices as you'd expect but food, rooms, service, golf all very good.
 
Looks like Dumbarnie are charging full whack despite having 2 temp holes........

Even worse is the fact that local rates are suspended at present :poop:

Fleecing the Yanks.......
