Just worked out that since June (when I start paying each year) it's cost me approximately £50 a round for my membership.

How much is a green fee?

How much is a green fee?
£35 weekend.
£30 weekday.
To be fair I've also hit hundreds of balls on the new practice range for the price of a £5 range card.

You know the answer to the problem then

You must be on a links course? Even ones up here have been closed at times this winter. Only 2 days closed, you have done ever so well
I spoke too soon, it has been closed again yesterday and today!
It’s not a links course, Paultons in Hampshire. I think it’s a good thing it’s rarely closed but others say it should be closed more to protect it. I’m not sure who’s right, but as long as I can swing a club I don’t care too much.

Getting out tomorrow. Course open all weekend. Sand based so shouldn’t be too muddy.

I'm probably around the same price per round when broken down.
We've got 13 holes fully open today, and the other 5 are playing as par 3's to keep traffic off the fairways - so I'm heading up for a knock later.

My close course is closed and will be tomorrow. I got a "maybe" for Monday. My 2nd course is open today carry only, heading that way in the morning for my first round since late November?

Played yesterday, 9 holes open only, some of the low lying holes are under water from the river bursting its banks. 2nd course has been closed since Dec 27th.
Good to get out though after 2 weeks, bit rusty.

Played 9½ earlier, first time at my home course since October! As expected it was very very wet and I was very very rusty. Not particularly muddy though which is good.

This afternoon.
Hit the ball very well.
Had to clean my ball on every shot.
Course is wet but not as bad as I feared.
Greens are very soft and putting is a waste of time really.

All 18 open & a good turnout for the Stableford won with 40pts... I managed 39pts with 2 blobs.
10 twos recorded..... greens have been hand-cut twice this week so are rolling well. There are some very, very wet areas still but not enough to close the course while nearby Scarcroft was shut.

Course was still closed today. Planning to play tomorrow morning but not holding my breath. Will probably ring round and try and find a place that's open if ours isn't.

We’ve moved from flooding to serious flooding.
Brampton which is not far from us is pretty much under water and levels are still rising.

Played today. Very Muddy in parts but only lost one ball to a plugged lie.

I played on Thursday and managed eight muddy holes before we dived for cover in the clubhouse as the rain started, and continued all afternoon and into the evening.
I was working at Amberley on Friday and had to navigate three flooded roads.

Finally hoping to play tomorrow. 14 holes opened today. Haven't played since 22nd December, although there have been days when it has been open, just not when i could play.....and that's on a links course!
Trouble this year, for the first time since I have been a member, is that the ground water is so high that even when it drains, a little more rain raises it again and makes it unplayable. In previous years it would drain enough to be able to cope with even quite heavy rain a few days later.
