Great stuff 17. Juni 2011
A bit of a sceptic approach should be allowed with a chemical free and organic course. As golfers, we tend to prefer an artificial Disneyland setting with everything perfect and plants growing only where "planned". A tree within the oval might work in cricket as an amiable feature, but in golf - maybe not. And achieving all this organically? Nope.
After playing at New Malton, I have to say that a natural Disneyland can exist. A fantastic course, challenging but allowing width for the younger player. A swan family with 7 signets crossing the fairway, two pheasants fighting for territory on the side of the 10th and a variety of beautiful birds is more than enough "flair" for me. I now rather ask myself why I thought that so much nature must be the exception, not the rule.
Whatever does the trick, this course is getting it right. Would I pay for organic? Honestly: No. But all-year fast and fantastic greens and a wonderful course with great value-for-money. Yes! Organic on top of that? Perfect.
changes at malton 8. Oktober 2010
i played this course first in 2007.found it wonderful value for money.decent holes & greens.unfortunately i waited a year between visits & returned this year.the chap serving us seemed pre-occupied with other duties.on the course,things got worse.i do understand that it is under new management & they seem to want to improve the course,while sustaining nature.but they hit a no-brainer.they changed the course from a wonderful,sweeping course,to a military unplanned yomp..leave the holes as they were,just improve the grass.other reviews show that from december 09 the course has gone very much down hill into the cam.return the lay-out as it was,please,my last visit made me prefer a course that once could not hold a candle to malton.presently that is my prefered course for value for money.please return to your old self..
