Atherstone Golf Club

Played Atherstone Golf Course Sunday 31st May , the course is quite dry atm but holding up well. The fairways are striped and look really nice and the greens are in great condition receptive and roll true. Bunkers are all trimmed and tidy, tee boxes are also in good shape .

Some of the views on this course are stunning , it isn't a long track but is is very tight with quite a few blind shots which makes this course a tough test of your golfing ability. I would recommend this course to anyone it is hilly so I would recommend a buggy if you are playing it for the 1st time.

Course didn't seem to long but very hilly ,a buggy would be advised . Tee's, greens & bunkers were really good .

I booked this course for two people on Sunday. I emailed the course to ask if we could book a buggy as one of the golfers has a prosthetic knee and couldn't walk the course. I called every day, at least five times throughout the day, trying every available option. No one answered, and I left a voicemail but received no call back. I turned up on the day to ask for the buggy, only to be told they were all booked out for a ladies' day. I told them about my contact, and they said they didn't know and to contact whoever I booked it through. Absolutely disgraceful. Don't go here.

Second time playing this course and walking with a Trolley, I will not make that mistake again!

This is a great course but MY God I ache today from all the walking and hills. The course was in good condition with lovely Greens, quite a few blind tee shots and a real challenge for high handicappers.

But I will be back and next time I'm getting a Buggy!

Lovely course with friendly staff

Plenty of hills it's constantly up and down

Very well looked after with some challenging holes

If anything I'd say the layout is a bit tricky having to walk a bit to the next tee on some of the holes

I did manage to lose my way but other golfers are happy to help and give you directions if needed

I liked it as it's challenging but reachable in regulation

Definitely go back I can imagine it will be beautiful in the summer months

Great to get back to Atherstone to play again. Most other courses in the area were shut due to the recent rains but Atherstone was very playable with only a few holes closed but the general condition on fairways was a credit to ground staff, as were the greens which were amazing given the recent weather.

Had really challenging round but the views and weather made it pleasure to play.

Good pint and sandwiches in the club house afterwards was appreciated, as was the friendly service from the young lad behind the bar.

We aren’t members of a single club preferring to visit clubs in the area and we all agree that Atherstone is one of our favourites to visit.

We had a tee time but the course was closed due to frost. That’s fine, I never mind when greens keepers want to protect a course. But no refund?!?! I’ve tried calling the club about 20 times but no-one ever picks up…

Great technical course in good condition considering the time of year. Only issue was that winter mats were in play on some tees and not others which meant a different tee off nearly every hole.

Overall a great course with some really tricky holes

I like this course but I won't be back until the better weather returns. It probably should have been closed for paying guests more so at full price, it was cold but 5 greens where solid frozen as the sun doesn't reach them this time of year. I have no problem with temporary tees but the ones used are small and could be better quality as your slipping when trying to tee off. Slightly disappointed but the course is still good and the holes that the sun was on were very nice.

My friend and I decided to play this after spotting it on Golf Now.

This course is truly fantastic, I absolutely loved the layout of the holes with nearly all of them offering a different type of challenge. Lots of narrow fairways, out of bounds markers and blind tee shots. The greens were immaculate. But, be warned, this is an extremely Hilly course. There are lots of long walks between greens and the next Tee box. I would rate this course 5 stars if it wasn't for the parts of the course that are maybe fairway but looks untouched and almost dead but this could just be hazards you have to avoid. The back nine was a little harder to navigate , finding the next Tee box was tough a couple of times much like where to sign in (the bar as there's no Pro shop) but all in all I really enjoyed this course and would play again.

Good challenge with blind approaches and tee shots.

Very hilly.

Excellent course! Hidden beauty! Really had fun playing here, greens excellent, super challenging course and great value for money. Lots of blind tough holes and a real challenge, but thoroughly enjoyed it. Will be back!

Course is very unique with plenty of blind shots and different challenges, really enjoyed the round on a hilly very well maintained course, the greens were in as good a condition as any I’ve played this year. No pro shop, so booking in was opening the entrance to the bar and picking up course score cards from the table in the small entrance lobby, no interaction with anybody at the club pre round. Bar was open after our round with bar staff very friendly.

Physically not for the faint hearted

Too much distance between greens and next tee

Very uneven terrain causing lost balls even with good tee shot
