Fescue in the Rescue!


It seems although slow that the rescue product in the rough is working well and that although this an extreme example, it shows that the product is working well and will be great in the future for rough management - it just depends on how brave we are!!!

ready for play


Finally the golf course is open after a long snow delay and on the first day back on the full course we were delighted to see, after some careful management, that the course was in good shape and the greens were very clean if a little yellow in places.

We are on some main greens and some temps. As the greens thaw through completely we will put them on the main greens. When they are all on the main greens we will then put the pins back towards the middle and back but for now they are just going to go on the front.

We have blown the whole course today and tomorrow and over the next few days we will full rake and blow all the bunkers, and get all the tees tidied aiming for a full prepped course for the final fling/drive in on the 2nd

Hope you enjoy the course

snow


Still closed though unfortunately - fingers crossed for a quick thaw and play before New Year!

Happy Christmas


After much clearance work the new view on the 6th from the 3rd. You never used to be able to see the lake from here but after the gorse work last year and the woodland work this it is beginning to look great

Frozen greens




As you can see, as much as we would like you to be able to play on the greens at the moment they are just too frozen to allow play. Also someone has kindly ridden a motorbike on the 15th green which has caused some damage. We cannot repair it until it thaws unfortunatly, but we wont be on the green until then anyway.

We will do all we can to ensure that the golf course is as playable as possible, but we will have to let nature take its course to some degree as forcing it can cause longer term problem which will not recover till the summer.
