We observed to our fantastic shock that the study course was gentle underfoot with mudballs popular, this was a little bit of a shock as we haven’t had rain for some time, at minimum in Pattaya. Greenwood is at minimum forty kilometers from Pattaya so obviously they must have had rain there.

The prospect of elevate, clear and area hadn’t occurred to any one prior to enjoy, with hindsight it would have been a great option, aside from mud balls there were areas of the fairways with no grass on them.
