Greed destroys courses

How on earth this course wasn’t closed today is a travesty, there is no point keeping unplayable courses open just to make a few quid. Turned up today to be told only 9 holes open and it’s boggy out there...err why is it open then

9 holes may have been open, but nothing short of wellies and a pair of water wings would suffice. Shame as the course is normally good in the summer, but with insane decisions to keep the course open on day like today will only destroy it and it’s failing reputation. Balls landing on centre of fareway and being lost due to plugging are not conditions to keep a course open......terrible decision to keep open and unfair to any paying patrons.....won’t be going back any time soon
