Sutton Green is a regular water world. With seven water hazards including one flanking the 9<sup>th<\/sup> and 10<sup>th<\/sup> holes large enough to have its own gravitation field, and four others scattered across the course. In fact, 10 of the 18 holes abutted a water feature. On top of that, the 6<sup>th<\/sup> hole had a water fountain (though it was not working, maybe dismantled for COVID19 precautions). And the 9<sup>th<\/sup> hole returns back to the clubhouse for refills or even a more relaxed libation at their outdoor bar area looking over the course. And if all that wasn\u2019t enough, we got a passing rain squall which when over produced a lovely rainbow that last for several holes (see pictures below)<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#008000\"><i>Wildlife<\/i> \u2013 The water wonderland is an obvious lure for waterfowl of all sorts especially Canadian Geese, Egyptian Geese and mallard ducks. And while dogs are obviously expected to pick up their mess, no such rule exists for the geese and others so watch your step.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#008000\"><i>Wind Down<\/i> \u2013 We went down the road to the closest Doggie Pub taking bookings ending up at the <\/font><a href=\"https:\/\/www.birdinhandmayford.co.uk\/\"><font color=\"#008000\">Bird in Hand<\/font><\/a><font color=\"#008000\"> (see photo at bottom). It was unrated on the Doggie Pub site, but after visiting we gave it its first rating of top marks \u2013 5 stars! They were extremely welcoming of Grace fussing over her as well, putting water bowls out, etc. The food was delicious gastropub grub. And the service was particularly attentive (including initiating moving us to another table when a neighboring big table started to get quite loud and boisterous).<\/font><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/doggolf.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Sutton-Green-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"427\" height=\"514\" title=\"Sutton Green 5\" style=\"display: inline; background-image: none;\" alt=\"Sutton Green 5\" src=\"http:\/\/doggolf.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Sutton-Green-5_thumb.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/doggolf.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Sutton-Green-8.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"429\" height=\"600\" title=\"Sutton Green 8\" style=\"display: inline; background-image: none;\" alt=\"Sutton Green 8\" src=\"http:\/\/doggolf.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Sutton-Green-8_thumb.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/doggolf.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Sutton-Green-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"422\" height=\"319\" title=\"Sutton Green 3\" style=\"display: inline; background-image: none;\" alt=\"Sutton Green 3\" src=\"http:\/\/doggolf.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Sutton-Green-3_thumb.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome \u2013 Everyone at Sutton Green was quite nonplussed by Grace\u2019s presence and at the end one of the club managers came by and fussed over Grace much to her delight.
