Checked out the plans for the 36 holes, looks good.

Might have to make a trip up there once its all completed
And the bunkers?
Drove past the Nudg today. The greens look interesting, but the bunkers I could see from the road need to be nuked. The massive high lips that sit 4ft higher than the greens look (and probably play) stupid.
Keen to for a hit to see if thats actually the case.
I think if they had not done the big bunkers with elevated greens the course would have looked like a flat featureless thing - like the existing course. Plus they are fitting quite a bit on the remain plot, they need to catch wayward shots to keep people close to green complexes.
If you are turning up with a preconceived negative opinion you might be just as well spending your money elsewhere
The bunkers are much fairer than RQ which are nasty narrow rock hard scallops with minimal gritty sand.
The new fairways are quite flat but extremely well drained, with lots of water on the fairway edges, the greens are currently very firm with lots of shape but already playing extremely true and quickish.
IMHO the bunkers appear intimidating but are all nice to play out of and for me at least don't really come into play that much.
I don't think I would like to be a player who has a go to low running shot, it needs a high ball and higher spin.
As a member I am loving the changes - there is a negative and that is if it finishes up that the whole course is at this standard everyone will want to play it and make it harder to get on the time sheet.

I dont have an issue with the elevated greens, but the fact the bunker lips were 4ft higher than the already elevated greens. It just looked silly, and seems awfully penal for a lot of choppers that would struggle to get out of them. The rest of those course looks fine, as do the greens themself.
IMO It's a Members Course and as most realise local knowledge rules and this will be no exception, players will need to take caution if they struggle with the Bunkering as with any setup that promotes strategic play! Oh and their is also a lot of false Fronts, Backs and Sides to contend with !

I think that idiots will walk up the high faces and cause damage. That damage doesn't happen at RQ with more refined clientele.😉
Playing off the 19th this Saturday for the first time. Walked it with a group of choppers last Sunday.
Yer I forgot about that on the par 3 4th.
I'll pay that😀🤡🤡🤡

Medal today.
One metre from glory on the 20th tucked back pin.
Just above my ball there was concrete under the sand.
