Greens and pins.
Pin placements were interesting.
I hope that becomes a habit.
Thames Valley GC
Course is an excellent layout, very challenging and this year in exceptionally well maintained condition.
Needs some TLC
I have golfed Thames for years, and have noticed that the COVID19 influenced golf boom hasn't been kind to Thames. The course conditions consistently disappoint with greens that are slow and inconsistent between holes, fairways and tee boxes that at times are as long as the rough should be. Hopefully, the staff can spend the off-season working on the fairways and greens as the layout is amazing and the location within London is impossible to beat.
Tee Times
It is very difficult to get early tee times online even at the specific time of 6:00 .m. If you are not within a nanosecond when you hit book it is not available. When you call the club house at that hour you get a voice mail. when you call later all times are filled. What do you do when you do not have access to a computer? Also II have noticed a number of holes open. Are golfers not cancelling their reservations when they don't intend to show up? It is frustrating to get up so early and log on precisely at 6:00 a.m. to discover that most if not all early tee times are gone. Also when 2 ride one cart why can't you charge1/2 price for each player? The alternative of just taking 2 separate carts has a tendency of clogging up the course. and at $19 each for a member is rather expensive.
Decent municipal golf course.
This is a very popular course very close to the city centre. It is reasonably well maintained albeit with average greens that are NOT fast. First time golfers may find this course a little challenging. For the average golfer, good course management will give you a satisfying game. Lots of shade from the hot sun. In the Fall, finding your ball among the leaves can be frustrating. The pace of play can be very variable, and without a Marshall on the course, you are bound to get unhappy golfers complaining about slow play. The half-way refreshment stop is very popular. All in all this is fair value, especially if you can get a hot deal online.
City of London courses
Three very well laid out and challenging courses for all golfers.
My two pet peeves.......nobody fixes divots on the green and how so many twosomes go out in a row. The City should police this more to better control pace of play.
Otherwise, recommend any of the courses....staff are all great.
