点评:Me and my wife were staying in Kirkcudbright for the week so thought we’d play Kirkcudbright Golf Club whilst we were away. I play a lot of golf and my wife is a relative beginner.
My biggest gripe from this experience was the pricing for visitors. No discounted green fees dependant on day or timings. No twilight green fee, no early riser green fee etc. Just one flat rate of £35 for 18 holes. For a £35 green fee I would expect a certain level of course and facilities.
The club facilities themselves are very basic. Locker rooms/toilets for gents and ladies. A small office with no pro shop. The clubhouse does offer food but it is an external Thai restaurant by the looks of things. Outside seating if you wanted a drink wasn’t the best, just basic plastic garden furniture.
The best points of the day was the chap working in the office and the course conditions. The club secretary was very helpful. Checked us in. Showed us to the first tee and gave us helpful directions for navigating the course. Tee beds were ok, a little rough. The course generally was decent and greens were good to putt on.
The course was far too difficult for my wife. If you’re at more of the learner stage of golf I’d possibly avoid this course. I play off 5 and found it a good challenge personally and enjoyed the round. The views on top of the course are indeed stunning, especially if playing on a glorious sunny day like we did.
Last gripe was when we got round to the 18th tee. After finishing the 17th hole we could hear music and randomly there was a group of teens sunbathing and casually having a meet on the 18th tee. We opted to let a couple behind play through at this point on a buggy who were much quicker who said apparently that’s quite common. Neither of us felt comfortable going back to the 18th tee to even play a tee shot off there and just opted to play from the 18th fairway further down. Personally if you’re a golf course, you’re a golf course. Somebody at the office or clubhouse should be monitoring this on a regular basis to make sure members of the public aren’t congregating on the course preventing play.
Given the facilities on offer and the quality of the course I’d have been much more comfortable with a £20-£25 green fee but £35 was too steep for me.
翻译:我和我的妻子在 Kirkcudbright 待了一周,所以我们想在我们不在的时候去 Kirkcudbright 高尔夫俱乐部打球。我打了很多高尔夫球,我的妻子是一个相对初学者。
这次经历中我最大的抱怨是游客的定价。没有取决于日期或时间的折扣果岭费。没有黄昏果岭费,没有早起者果岭费等。18 洞只需 35 英镑的统一费率。对于 35 英镑的果岭费,我希望有一定水平的球场和设施。
俱乐部设施本身非常基本。男士和女士更衣室/厕所。一间没有专卖店的小办公室。会所确实提供食物,但从外观上看,它是一家外部泰国餐厅。如果您想喝一杯,外面的座位不是最好的,只有基本的塑料花园家具。
当天最好的一点是在办公室工作的小伙子和课程条件。俱乐部秘书非常乐于助人。检查了我们。向我们展示了第一个发球台,并为我们提供了导航课程的有用指导。三通床还可以,有点粗糙。该课程通常很不错,果岭很适合推杆。
这门课程对我妻子来说太难了。如果您更多地处于高尔夫学习阶段,我可能会避开这门课程。我打了 5 局,个人觉得这是一个很好的挑战,我很享受这一轮。球场顶部的景色确实令人惊叹,尤其是如果像我们一样在阳光明媚的日子打球。
最后一次抱怨是我们打到第 18 洞发球台的时候。打完第 17 洞后,我们可以听到音乐,随机有一群青少年在晒日光浴,并在第 18 洞发球台随便开会。我们选择让后面的一对夫妇在一辆马车上玩,他们的速度要快得多,他们说这显然很常见。我们俩都不愿意回到第 18 号发球台,甚至在那里开球,只是选择从更远的第 18 号球道打球。就个人而言,如果你是一个高尔夫球场,你就是一个高尔夫球场。办公室或俱乐部的人应该定期对此进行监控,以确保公众不会聚集在球场上妨碍比赛。
考虑到所提供的设施和课程的质量,我对 20-25 英镑的果岭费感到更舒服,但 35 英镑对我来说太贵了。
