Lovely 4 mile circular walk around Rushmore estate. Mostly wooded but also through sheep grazing and parts of the golf course.

The course was in lovely condition, the first cut and rough were punishing but not too deep, the fairways were very good and the greens were treacherous (as they should be) I loved the bluebells. The clubhouse and catering were pretty good too.

Course has had several "tweaks" to a few holes, including the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 10th, 11th & 13th. Bunkers have bern reprofiled & slightly relocated. The overall effect is positive. The grass on the greens has been allowed to grow, which makes them a little slower but the subtle borrows ean that they are still a challenge. Rushmore is maturing nicely. Wonderful views across to the South Coast and absolutely stunning when the flowers are out.

A beautiful place to play golf, the course is in fantastic condition and the club are spending lots on maintenance of the course and reshaping bunkers etc which is great to see.

With Winter well on its way today was overcast and windy 🌬️ we managed 15 holes before the heavens opened up and we finished in the rain ☔️ after a hearty breakfast 🍳 in the clubhouse off we go ⛳️ The course was in very good condition and good challenge on the winter short course set on Forward tees, this did not make life easy as the wind 💨 certainly took your ball on occasion. The greens still had a good pace and still very true. The pro shop team are very friendly with a well stocked shop. All in good value for money ⛳️👍
