You should be able to check with the club or professional shop at the course you are playing before you commence your round. Last winter I was at Murcar and it’s usually all full summer greens - having checked in the pro shop I discovered there were 4 winter greens at the far end of the course (due to maintenance) that would have been unknown if I hadn’t asked!

That's great - thanks very much. I'd have been fine to put a score in today in that case as the Eden was ok. But Ladybank had 4 temp greens the other day so that would have been a no.
My winter golf is generally bounce games where none of the group want to hole out or put cards in but I'm quite keen to put a card in for all (well, most) of my games. Good to know the above info.
It might be in this thread somewhere already but how does WHS work during winter with mats, preferred lies, temp greens etc? I've had a few good general play games recently but not put cards in because of the occasional temp green etc. Should I just be putting them in anyway? From next month we move to fairway mats too but we're getting to the period where we're lucky to have enough daylight to play anyway 😳
Assuming that the course still is within 100yds of its measured playing length then the following applies in England (Scotland may do things differently as the authority to decide what counts as a handicap qualifying round lies with the Authorised Association...so England Golf, Scottish Golf Union etc)...
Mats (tees and fairway mats) Acceptable Scores may be returned in Competitions and in General Play when there is a Local Rule in place requiring the compulsory use of fairway mats to protect the natural surfaces of the course, during the referred lies period.
Suggested wording for local rule - ‘When a player’s ball lies in a part of the general area cut to fairway height or less and a putter is not being used for the stroke, the ball must be lifted, placed on and played from an Astroturf, or similar type, of mat. The mat must be placed as near as possible to where the ball originally lay, and the ball must be placed on the mat. The ball may be cleaned when lifted.’
Temporary Greens For scores to be acceptable, no more than 2 temporary greens are allowed to be used. For a 9-hole course, only one temporary green will be allowed. Whilst temporary or alternative greens are acceptable for handicapping purposes, whenever the length of the course length has been increased or decreased by more than 100 yards for an 18-hole round or 50 yards for a 9-hole round, the adjustments to the Course Rating and Slope Rating set out in Appendix G of the Rules of Handicapping must be applied.
