Played the Marshes yesterday
I was decidedly unimpressed. For a variety of reasons, I don't play near the golf I used to (or as well as I used to) and when I do play, finances are a big factor in location. But, an opportunity came up to play there and out I went.
I have to say, as much as I have heard about it, I didn't like it at all. I have seen many comparisons on here about it and EC. I have played EC probably 25 times over the years and to me, there is nothing to compare. EC is a much better golf course. The Marshes design/layout is poor and the conditions, although very good, I would not have classified as exceptional.
Next time big money is coming out of my pocket to golf, it won't be the Marshes.
