点评:I only started playing golf this year and Cocken Lodge was the first course I tried as I had received advice that it was ideal for beginners. Having played for a few months, and now a member at a larger local course, I can back that up! But don’t let the “for beginners” tag put anyone off…this course is fun for golfers of all abilities.
The course itself comes in at a Par 29, with 7 par threes and 2 Par 4s. Bunkers, ponds and testing greens are all in play, and the course itself is always in tip top condition. It copes well in all weathers and the ground staff do a wonderful job of maintaining it (which is sometimes an issue at Par 3 courses). It costs £13 for 9 holes or £20 for 18, which is on the pricier end, but you get really good value in the range of holes.
The course opens with two nice straight Par 3s that will get you into the swing of things, before a short Par 4 will give you chance to get the driver out. Water comes into play on Hole 4 which has a challenging sloping green with Hole 5 being a short Par 3 that will really test your range. An elevated tee greets you on Hole 6, and Hole 7 is a testing hole which is almost blind from the tea. If you can curve your shots nicely it’s a great challenge. Hole 8 is the longest Par 4 on offer, and again with bunkers, a sloped green, water and a ditch…it’s the hardest hole on the course. The course finishes with a bowl green that requires an accurate tee shot. All in all in terms of Par 3 hole variety this hole has it all!
There is a practice area that includes a bunker and a green too which I find useful, and a decent driving range on hand that costs £3 for 30 balls.
The course tends to play quickly, and the community seem friendly (as a solo player I always appreciate playing through) and every experience I have had here has been nothing but first class……
翻译:我今年才开始打高尔夫球,Cocken Lodge 球场是我尝试的第一个球场,因为我收到的建议是它非常适合初学者。打了几个月球后,现在是当地一家较大球场的会员,我可以支持这一点!但不要让“适合初学者”的标签让任何人望而却步……这个球场对各种水平的高尔夫球手来说都很有趣。
球场本身的标准杆为 29 杆,其中有 7 个三杆洞和 2 个四杆洞。沙坑、池塘和测试果岭都在发挥作用,球场本身始终处于最佳状态。它能很好地适应各种天气,并且地勤人员在维护它方面做得非常出色(这在三杆洞球场上有时是一个问题)。 9 洞的费用为 13 英镑,18 洞的费用为 20 英镑,价格较高,但在洞的范围内您可以获得非常好的价值。
球场以两个漂亮的直三杆洞开始,让您进入比赛状态,然后一个短的四杆杆让您有机会将开球杆击倒。第 4 洞有水,这里有一个具有挑战性的倾斜果岭,第 5 洞是一个短的三杆洞,将真正考验您的射程。 6 号洞有一个升高的发球台迎接您,而 7 号洞是一个测试洞,几乎被茶水遮挡。如果你能很好地弯曲你的镜头,那将是一个巨大的挑战。 8 号洞是最长的四杆洞,同样设有沙坑、倾斜的果岭、水和沟渠……这是球场上最难的洞。球场以碗状果岭结束,需要准确的开球。总而言之,就三杆洞的多样性而言,这个洞拥有一切!
这里有一个练习区,包括一个沙坑和一个果岭,我觉得这很有用,还有一个不错的练习场,30 个球售价 3 英镑。
课程往往玩起来很快,社区看起来很友好(作为一个独奏玩家,我总是很欣赏玩游戏),我在这里经历的每一次经历都是一流的......
