The cold snap has allowed us to keep restoring our 8th hole Viaduct with tree removal opening up the view of the 116 feet viaduct over the river Darwen. This 2 year project is unbelievably 6 months longer than it took in 1844 to build the viaduct! Here’s to the next 177 years

We’re been busy!! The 11th was with the exception of the railway left, a pretty ordinary hole. The bunkers weren’t in play for better players & punished only shorter hitters. Now with 2 demanding fairway bunkers at 220 and 250 decisions have to be made. What are you going to do?
