Should a course have an obligation to inform you that there are temporary greens or holes that are closed in your round and even reduce the greenfee accordingly, or is this just a risk you run playing in the winter

Not all golf courses are honest about temporary greens or teeing off matts, , so it is better to enquiry when booking a game.

Hi Daryl,
Absolutely they should inform you!!
Imagine turning up to a football match only to be told they are only going to play the first half, I'd want my money back and an apology.... not even a debate.

It was that we played Nizels last week and was told both when booking and when reporting to the club that the course was "playing fine" only to discover that 6 of the first 8 holes were temporary greens, well a stick in the middle of the fairway about 100 yards short of the green and there were 2 holes completely closed.
Should a club still be allowed to charge the full rate in these circumstances.

Our club may offer reduced fees but would probably make the decision not to allow guests as would be unfair for them not to play the proper course. In the case of not being advised before I suggest always check by phone beforehand although not always possible if you are having to plan to leave early for a long journey However in this case I would definitely push for a complimentary or vastly reduced round. Keep us posted. Nizels should know better. I am not impressed. I have Business Lady contacts there and if necessary I would let them know for purpose of feedback. It does not give the club a good name.
