any help really appreciated!

Played Beacon Park on 2nd January. It's open with 9 temp greens and mats on par 3 holes. Standish Court said they were open but when I went up it was covered in snow and no flagsticks out. Still  charging 18 quid on Beacon Park at weekends for  9 temp greens and mats. Only 20 quid when it's fully open. Hmmmm. Doubt it will be open this weekend though.
