It is a pain though I don’t care what anyone says. It’s fine if you’re a good golfer and hit it on the fairway but I would hit it in the rough on the other side of the fairway – take two clubs with me to hit the shot only to get there and find the rough was thicker than I thought and in fact, needed a PW or something instead.

Another favourite was duffing my shot 50 yards, then having to go all the way back to the cart to get two more clubs…move it 50 yards forward etc etc.

I suppose the only solution is to walk it really but you’d be totally knackered on that course. It’s a hell of a stomp.

Understand your point about the cart paths. I would imagine they ask guests to stick to the paths to stop damage to the fairways (compression/thatch build up) and in the early season lots of tyre tracks! Good job the fairways are quite narrow so it’s only 15-20 metres to your ball. All that’s required is you take a couple of clubs to give yourself an option.
