点评:Our 9 hole visit to Gillyflower Golf today was lovely.
After making the initial booking we exchanged emails with Joe (director of golf) to sort out a buggy or trollies. Having had some rain Joe sorted out trollies for us.
The course itself is 9 holes from the old Lostwithiel Golf Club. I’d never played that course so don’t know if the course layout is exact or altered. All I can say is we played the front 9 holes called the long course. Here’s the thing: most 9 hole courses have be played offer 18 holes by having 2 sets of tees literally separated by a few yards… not Gillyflower. The tees are literally in totally different positions and some are a long way different, so appears to play as very different holes. Very cleverly done.
Few things to beware of:
1. No clubhouse
2. Booking is online or phone.
3. There’s a van on 1st hole where you get scorecards but the van is about 200 yards walk to the first tee, a walk up the fairway sure you in hitting range from the first tee, so take care!!
4. The morning we went the van wasn’t manned (Saturday morning), there were local road closures and diversions so we arrived late. Tried calling gillyflower but all options (press 1, press 2 etc) didn’t work.
Some memorable holes and lovely scenery. Some fairways are narrow and the rough in places is brutal.
We paid £26 for 2 players, 9 holes… bargain.
翻译:今天我们去了 Gillyflower Golf 打了 9 洞,感觉棒极了。
预定后,我们与 Joe(高尔夫总监)通过电子邮件联系,商讨如何安排球车或手推车。由于下雨,Joe 为我们安排了手推车。
球场本身是老 Lostwithiel 高尔夫俱乐部的 9 洞球场。我从未打过那座球场,所以不知道球场布局是完全相同还是有所改动。我只能说,我们打的是前 9 洞,称为长球场。问题是:大多数 9 洞球场都提供 18 洞,两组发球台相隔几码……但 Gillyflower 不是。发球台的位置完全不同,有些位置相差甚远,因此看起来就像打完全不同的球洞。做得很巧妙。
需要注意的几点:
1. 没有会所
2. 可以在线或电话预订。
3. 1 号洞有一辆面包车,您可以在那里领取记分卡,但从面包车步行到 1 号发球台大约需要 200 码,沿着球道走上去,确保您从 1 号发球台进入击球范围,所以要小心!!
4. 我们去的那天早上(星期六早上),面包车上没有人,当地道路封闭和改道,所以我们迟到了。尝试给 gillyflower 打电话,但所有选项(按 1、按 2 等)都不起作用。
一些令人难忘的球洞和美丽的风景。有些球道很窄,有些地方的长草区很残酷。
我们为 2 名球员支付了 26 英镑,打了 9 洞……很划算。
