I was at Cranwell 2008-2012 and I used to, as an additional duty, maintain the golf course with the help of a former serviceman. We purchased mowers etc but the reason it fell into disrepair is because the overall maintenance of the area was removed from the grounds contract and therefore it was impossible to keep at a reasonable standard. I used to get a landrover from MT and pull the grass cutter along behind on the fairways and the other chap would use the motorised smaller mowers to look after the greens and the areas around the bunkers. Although not the most challenging 9 holes, it was a great little facility which was regularly used. Very sad....
