Inder reconstruction

Not too bad a course - considering it’s being re-modeled just now. Greens are seriously rough and full of deep unrepaired pitch marks. Such slow play ahead of us - considering we were all trying to get 18 holes before total darkness. Ill wait a year for the improvements before returning.

My Childhood Course

Hasn't really changed. Some areas still need some TLC due to mud and fungus probably. I wouldn't pay more then 40 for this course. Great course for youth players. Will always recommend this course to newer players due to the conditions and overall difficulty. Perfect for mid to high hcp. Not ideal for low hcp
