Tinca, I joined URACS at the start of this season and have loved every minute of it, everyone I've met on the banks have been friendly and helpful (including FM's own Peter Crabtree), I can only speak good things about the club and they have some excellent waters with some great fishing to be had. I fully recommend joining.
RE the golf course lakes, they are an absolute paradise, you will probably not speak to another person all day, it's a lovely place to be. From what I gather, there are a few good sized carp in both lakes (I've certainly disturbed some sizeable lumps in the margins when I go for a wander there) but they are incredibly underfished so there may be a few surprises waiting. If you want to avoid the carp 'circuit', and like a little mystery then you'll probably enjoy these lakes. I've fished them 3 times and took 2 tench, biggest 7.11 from the south lake late in summer, and I suspect if you fished it earlier in summer you could take a big haul. There was a double figure tinca reported this season too, and a massive bream, but as I said it's hugely underfished and I like that little bit of unknown where a surprise could turn up. You always have Batchworth lake in Ricky which is the Rovers top carp venue with carp to just under 40 on the book also, but isn't quite as quiet and unknown.
The Colne sections are good too, with big barbel and huge chub to be had, as someone has mentioned, the barbel at Denham are very elusive, I have yet to connect with one but I've been told when they turn up they are hefty.
As I'm a new member I can only pass on what I've learnt in a short space of time, and your best bet is to speak to Peter Crabtree on here or give someone from the club a call who are all friendly and generous with information who know the waters well. Feel free to drop me a PM too.
All in all I thoroughly recommend joining up!
