Saturday 27th February

Under normal circumstances the course would be closed, but because we haven't played consistently over the last number of weeks the Winter League competition will be on today.

The course is wet!!

Saturday 27th February

As the greens had snow on them until 10am, the ground underneath was frozen and the rain is lying on the course the chances of all 18 holes being open in the morning are very slim. If we are lucky a limited numbers of holes will be open to enable us to hold a sweep competition.

As well the website being updated, text and emails alerts will be sent out after the course has been inspected
