Well, warm meant literally and best in Grace\u2019s eyes for sure. Being a more than chilly day in January, we stopped at the main building (which is also conveniently the \u201chalfway\u201d hut at the 9<sup>th<\/sup> hole), to warm our bones with what was some quite delicious vittles. I had the meaty muffin and Lori a most cheesy omelet with chips. And Grace had a couple of heated sausages offered gratis by the kind proprietor. We offered to pay for them and she responded, \u201cThat\u2019s okay. We like dogs around here.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><i>Water<\/i> \u2013 Water is a bit of a moot subject in middle of the winter. There are puddles everywhere and one doesn\u2019t get as thirsty in the colder weather. Still, the course had quite a number of water run-offs throughout the course and a few small water features near the 5<sup>th<\/sup>, 11<sup>th<\/sup> and 14<sup>th<\/sup> holes. And the clubhouse has a dog water dish on the patio for mid-course or end of round refreshment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><i>Walk<\/i> \u2013 Like most clubs in the London area, the course was pretty much flat throughout. Well, \u201cflat\u201d in the overall layout. Many of the fairway we flanked by elongated hillocks which gave the sensation of playing in a trough. Also, the fairways themselves weren\u2019t exactly \u201cflat\u201d, but instead characterized by cross-wise ripples in the turf like some frozen liquefaction of an earthquake. If the soggy ground didn\u2019t stop your approach shot in its tracks, the array of mini sleeping policemen did.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><i>Wildlife<\/i> \u2013 More magpies around than you can shake a salute at, but otherwise not much to distract Grace.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><i>Wind Down<\/i> \u2013 I\u2019ve already exceptionally warm welcome from the clubhouse caf\u00e9 which offered a range of freshly cooked food and plenty of re-hydration alternatives (hot and cold).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/doggolf.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Risebridge-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline; background-image: none;\" title=\"Risebridge 2\" src=\"http:\/\/doggolf.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Risebridge-2_thumb.jpg\" alt=\"Risebridge 2\" width=\"440\" height=\"308\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/doggolf.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Risebridge-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline; background-image: none;\" title=\"Risebridge 3\" src=\"http:\/\/doggolf.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Risebridge-3_thumb.jpg\" alt=\"Risebridge 3\" width=\"440\" height=\"309\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome \u2013 Risebridge gave one of the warmest doggie welcomes yet.
