点评:Read a recent review of the changes and thought i would try it out. While the architectural bones are pretty good, it's a goat track in terms of condition. Masses of weeds everywhere, unkempt rough all along the fairways. Patchy faiways, the greens were reasonable. It looks like a cow paddock and clearly some of the members just don't give a damn. Have a look at the pic I took of this bunker. We played with a chinese guy and his wife who were members, we played on the Nursery course. He drove his cart around the edges of the green and bunkers, ignored the "paths only" signs on the par 3, talked in our backswings, walked behind us while we're putting - just deplorable etiquette. They are struggling and with members like the guy we played with, it's no wonder. Very few people in the comp too. Doesn't feel like a members club and generally seems run down. Got a cheap deal on Great Rounds, but wouldn't bother to drive out there again. Shame to see an old club like Croydon in such a state.
翻译:我读了最近关于球场状况改变的评论,于是决定去试试。虽然球场的整体结构还不错,但实际状况却糟糕透顶:到处都是杂草,球道也杂乱无章、荒芜不堪。球道状况参差不齐,不过果岭还算可以。整个球场看上去就像一片牧场,显然有些会员根本漠不关心。看看我拍的这个沙坑的照片吧。我们当时和一对中国夫妇一起打球,他们也是会员,我们打的是Nursery球场。他驾着球车在果岭和沙坑边缘行驶,完全无视标准杆3杆的球洞处“仅限步行”的标志;我们在挥杆时他还在喋喋不休,我们在推杆时他还跟在身后——简直毫无礼仪可言。这家俱乐部经营状况不佳,有像今天我们同组打球的那种会员,也就不足为奇了。现场的球员也寥寥无几。这里完全不像是个会员制俱乐部,整体显得破败不堪。虽然通过Great Rounds买到了优惠票,但我再也不想特意开车去那里了。真可惜,像克罗伊登这样的老牌俱乐部竟沦落到这般地步。
