点评:Today we played the Henry Thomas Cotton Championship Course. We're currently on a 7 day trip golfing in Portugal and this was the 3rd of the 4 courses that we are playing. We were all looking forward to it but realised very quickly that it was going to be a struggle.
The course is in horrendous condition. No grass on the fairways, hardly any sand in the bunkers, literally like playing on pavements. The greens are in abysmal condition with no putts getting a true run. You'd try to play off the fairway and your club would be sliding at address due to the lack of grass. A complete and utter slog to play and no enjoyment whatsoever. I heard alot about it being the Henry Thomas Cotton Championship Course but was gobsmacked with how bad it was, blatantly no upkeep on the condition of the course.
When we were coming off there was another group apologising to their friends with how bad the condition of the course had been.
We tried speaking to the course manager and he was both defensive and dismissive. Tried telling us the condition of the fairways was due to a lack of rain recently. No idea how this effects the other abysmal aspects of the course, lack of sand in the bunkers etc. Before we went there we warned by someone at our hotel that it was in horrendous condition 12 months ago but maybe it would be ok now. Yet the course manager seems to think it's only a recent thing.
How they charge what they do I'll never know. Not even close to the condition of the other courses we have played. We won't be visiting ever again. Save your money and go elsewhere!

球场状况非常糟糕。球道上没有草,沙坑里几乎没有沙子,就像在人行道上打球一样。果岭状况极差,推杆无法真正击球。如果你试图在球道上打球,由于没有草,你的球杆会在击球时滑动。打球非常辛苦,一点乐趣都没有。我听说了很多关于亨利·托马斯·科顿锦标赛球场的消息,但对它的糟糕程度感到震惊,球场的状况明显没有得到维护。
当我们离开时,另一群人向他们的朋友道歉,说球场的状况太糟糕了。
我们尝试与球场经理交谈,但他既辩解又不屑一顾。他试图告诉我们球道的状况是由于最近缺少降雨。不知道这会对球场的其他糟糕方面产生什么影响,比如沙坑缺少沙子等等。在我们去那里之前,酒店有人警告我们,12 个月前球场状况非常糟糕,但现在可能没问题了。然而球场经理似乎认为这只是最近才发生的事情。
我永远不知道他们是如何收费的。与我们打过球的其他球场相比,情况根本不一样。我们再也不会来这里了。省下你的钱,去别的地方吧!
