Default Re: Fall is upon us: your golf plans?

Northern Europe, courses are open throughout the winter, weather permitting, frost, snow and too much water can close courses. Many courses do create temporary greens for the winter, often of good quality but still temporary as in slower and bumpier. Many places you are not allowed to use trolleys during the winter but will have to carry your bag. Courses are never overseeded, as the grass can not grow during winter (nov-feb). Most courses open the real greens again during march and closes them around the first real frost in late november early december.
