Played there on Sunday 12 Feb 2006. The course is showing signs of stress due to the long period without rain. The fairways have become quite pitted and the lies can be thin for the same reason but the dormant grass is also a factor. Greens are somewhat bumpy for lack of natural rain water. The course is usually in great condition and there is no reason to suppose that with some rain it will not make a quick recovery. A further minus factor was the unacceptable pace of play with the round taking five and a half hours to complete. Staff were welcoming as usual.
