点评:As you arrive everything looks impressive and lives up to the Royal title. The best area was the practice facilities with a nice range and the best practice putting green of any course I have played anywhere. Really makes you excited for the round. Unfortunately the course doesn’t quite live up to this promise. The fairways show the signs of over use with lots of divots and the greens are nowhere near as good as the practice area with lots of unrepaired pitch marks and areas needing attention. Bunkers were a good quality and well maintained.
The course as a whole is a pleasant tree lined experience but not much of a test for the mid to low handicaps. It’s just not long enough to make the various par 4’s seem different from each other. Every par 4 ( except 1) was a driver & wedge if you hit it anywhere around 225yds+.
Caddies are obligatory although don’t presume they will carry your bag. I joined a 3 ball who were in buggies. I like to walk a course and it was 1 caddy between all 4 of us so the expectation was either that I carried my own or put them on one of the buggies. The caddy was fine for assisting with putts.
All staff were very pleasant and the overall ambience was good but it just felt like the condition and variety of the course let it down a little.
翻译:刚到达时,一切都显得令人印象深刻,确实配得上“皇家球场”这一称号。最出色的部分要数练习设施——球道种类丰富,而练习果岭更是我所打过的任何球场中最好的。这真的让人对即将开始的比赛充满期待。可惜的是,实际打球体验却未能达到预期。球道上因频繁使用而出现了大量草皮破损的痕迹;果岭状况也远不及练习区,到处都是未修复的鞋钉印以及需要修整的区域。球道上的沙坑质量不错且养护良好。
整个球场绿树成荫,打球体验 pleasant,但对于中低差点水平的球手来说算不上什么挑战。球场长度实在不够,导致各个四杆洞之间几乎没有差别。只要击球距离能达到225码以上,除了一个四杆洞外,其他所有四杆洞都可以直接用一号木加挖起杆来打。
虽然球童是必须配备的,但别指望他们会帮你背球包。我当时是加入了一个乘坐球车的三人一组的球局。我喜欢打完整场球,我们四个人只配了一名球童,因此我本以为要么得自己背球包,要么把球包放在球车上来推。这位球童在帮我处理推球方面做得不错。
所有工作人员都非常友善,整体氛围也不错,不过球场的状况以及球道类型的多样性似乎稍微拖了后腿。
