Do not play in winter
Very disappointed today. We ( a four ball) had no prior notification but all greens were on winter (ploughed fields) greens. Holes severely shortened. Many tees also on winter tees.

So slow
This course is great however I couldn't help but lose interest by how slow it was. I just wanted to leave. It was by far the slowest course I've played this year. Such a nice course spoilt by a long train of people taking the absolute micky. Such a shame.

Enjoyed the round yesterday in the winter sunshine.
Enjoyed the round yesterday in the winter sunshine. Course in good condition. Pace of play acceptable on the front nine, but not on the back. Certainly more waiting on the tee box. Returned to the clubhouse for a pint and pie, chips and peas. Good atmosphere with a large society presentation in the next room. Good to see the 17th tee returning to the higher box, although making the shot over the water more difficult into the wind. Overall a good experience.

Cheeky Thursday
One of my favourite courses.
Greens looked slightly worse for wear but run fast and true.
No food served when we got in at 3.00pm thought that was poor to be honest.
Pace of play only got one star as three poor golfers held us up every shot for 6 holes before deciding to let us through we finished 50 minutes in front of them. We were a fourball .
