One to miss. Arrived 30mins before tee time and it was closed. Practice area was closed. Buggies have seen better days and the score card was a photocopied A4 sheet of paper. We were told to start at the 10th as the front 9 was under maintenance. The course was in poor condition, the greens were unplayable on the day. They were being plugged and sanded, but there were holes on the playing surface and the amount of sand made putting a lottery. The properties round the course were predominantly empty or derelict which added to the sense that investment was needed in the course but in its current condition they should not be taking green fees. We actually thought about walking off after the back 9. We should have as the front 9 was worse. On more than one occasion we had to retrieve our balls from under maintenance buggies round the greens. So one to miss until the work on the course is finished…
