A decent golf course with a couple of silly holes and a lot of very hard walking.
Shrigley Hall Golf Course的点评
点评:The golf course is served by the Golf Lodge, several hundred yards from the hotel and its main car park. The lodge has a bar with snacks, locker rooms and a good supply of golf buggies.
The staff in the lodge were all very young and (unlike the hotel staff), rather disinterested.
The golf course is set in delightful, undulating countryside with sweeping views. It was in good condition, but the greens were incredibly, frustratingly slow. There were several blind drives and a couple of holes that were rather silly. And some of the distances between green and tee were inordinately long. In short, the course was OK for a weekend away - with a buggy - but it's not somewhere I would ever consider playing regularly.
A bit more about the buggies. There are basic ones (£30) and GPS ones (£40). Our party had booked a dozen basic buggies, but on the second day the disinterested staff in the lodge had released them to other golfers before we arrived. Annoying, but £10 isn't such a big deal. Except that we very soon discovered that there are no-go areas on the course where the GPS buggies just stop and refuse to move. Holes where you can't get close to a ball sitting in the middle of the fairway.
翻译:高尔夫球场附近有高尔夫旅馆,距离酒店及其主停车场仅几百码之遥。旅馆内设有一家提供小吃的酒吧、更衣室,还备有充足的高尔夫球车。
旅馆的工作人员都很年轻,而且(与酒店员工不同)显得漠不关心。
高尔夫球场坐落在风景宜人、地势起伏的乡间地带,视野开阔。球场状况良好,但果岭的滚动速度却慢得离谱,令人懊恼不已。有几个球洞需要盲打,还有几个球洞的设计相当不合理。而且有些球洞的果岭与发球台之间的距离长得离谱。简而言之,对于周末出游来说,这个球场还可以——只要坐上高尔夫球车就行——但绝对不是我会经常去打球的地方。
再说说那些高尔夫球车吧。有基础款的(30英镑)和带GPS功能的款型(40英镑)。我们一行人预订了十几辆基础款球车。不过第二天,在我们到达之前,球场上那些素不相识的工作人员就把球车让给了其他高尔夫球手。虽然挺烦人的,但10英镑也算不上什么大数目。只是我们很快发现,球场上有一些禁入区域,在这些地方GPS球车会直接停下且无法移动。有些球洞甚至根本无法靠近——球就停在球道中央。
