Better hope there no rain over the next three months as I played the Carrick at the end of October and though the greens were fine the fairways were a bit squelchy.

DOUBLE A Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Brilliant course. Normal / Summer greens? All normal greens apart from the short 4th, it is always off during the winter but they built a decent green to play to, that winter green was the quickest one for putting the last couple of days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flora MaDonald Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 This. Not quite in the condition I thought it would be, but some cracking holes on it. This again. The fairways were terrible when I played it. Don't know if they've got drainage problems, but spoiled the day a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think the water table is so high it does take much to make it really wet though Loch Lomond just up the road is a better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayrshire's my favourite place to play golf I've been looking a caddying (professionally). Some nae bad cash to be made if you've got a half-decent pro. I'm carrying my club pro's bag in a tourney in March, so I'll see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever played Girvan? Simon Payne. I was actually quite similar. Played off 2 when I was 16/17 - fell oot with the club at the time over an Assistant Pro job, and never hit a ball for about 20 years. Saw my mate on Facebook, who is now the Russian Federation Coach, and was phuqqing raging (cos I thought I was better than him ) Took it up again 5 years ago, and haven't looked back. Never had the pleasure of playing Girvan - any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girvanTA Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Aye is fine, Girvan front 8 links back 10 parkland. Short but tough in the wind, also great views in the front 8. Going to book Celtic manor soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
