Much better places to play in Leicestershire, but for the money it's good!
I paid £18 for my round, so I don't want to sound like an ingrate in any way.
I've played Beedles Lake's main course a few times, and the Little Owl once. The Little Owl isn't listed on here, but it's a beautful 9-hole Par 3 course that will test you. Bring a few extra balls because you will lose some if you're not accurate!
The main course is alright, though for some strange reason they have changed the second hole from being a long Par 4 to a short Par 3 for the men!
I can only give it 3* overall because the fairways just are not up to the standard of other courses in a 10m radius. Even Humberstone Heights is better kept and that's a council-run course. If you're on the fairway you should be rewarded with good lies but most of the time I'd find myself on unevenly grown patches that just haven't happened at other courses.
The greens are more than serviceable but again, not up to the standards of other courses. But what does anyone expect for lower fees? I would suggest playing here when you can get a round for £20, rather than paying the full £36 - there are just better options for similar money.
I also don't like the lack of facilities. There is a nice putting green, sure. But I don't like that you have to pay to use the driving range to warm up before your round. There should be some practice nets. If there are nets and I haven't seen them then please tell me as I don't wish to be unfair, but I believe there are none. However, that said, the driving range is cheaper than elsewhere - 100 balls is less than £9. Though bring your own tees because none of the bays had them!!
I'd go again, but only to play the Little Owl. There's much better conditions for not much more money, but if you are trying to spend as little on golf as possible, then this is a more than serviceable course.
Bad fairways
Bad fairways everything else is spot on
First time playing
I have played the par 3 course a fair few times and couldn't pass up on a 17:18 tee off time for £20 as I've hear the main corse is a challenging course, the lay out is good on the last few holes you find yourself walking the same path the first 9 are a good mixture although I shot a 57 wasnt too upset as I had never played the course before the second 9 where alot more enjoyable as I got into my grove I shot a 48 I know I know 105 is still high am not am amazing golfer but everyone starts somewhere and I dont take it too seriously its just about getting out and playing ner courses. Would definitely play again and highly recommend to anyone the pace of play was good, all the other golfers on the course are very welcoming and friendly no matter how bad your shots are.
Great value
The fairways are starting to soften and the greens have slowed , but its december so better than you would expect . And at £15 for a sunday lunchtime there was absolutly nothing to moan about .
Honest review
Course is nice but so busy with 4s and 3s queueing for teeing off ruined the game, many complaining about pace and sat around waiting to tee off just spoilt the experience. To have 3 groups on fairway at a time waiting to play ball just wasn’t great. First time I had experienced this on any course. Played beedles many times great experience normally.
Good greens
Good greens and course is fun to play, fairways not in great condition and quite bare, play was also quite slow aswell. Used to be a member here I think the course has lost its way a little bit, but one positive is the greens are always in top condition.
Long Hot Summer
Bearing mind the long hot summer we’ve had the course was in good condition particularly the greens had been well maintained. The fairways were rock hard which made our drives roll on for ever.
Busy
Very busy so when you have a beginner with you do play a little slower so we let people play through but there were also people jumping holes which then sliced ourselves up.
Avoid on a nice weekend
Up to 4 groups queuing on the Tee boxes, people sharing clubs that clearly don’t play golf - absolute chaos.
I expect to held up on a nice sunny day, that is absolutely fine but this was the worst round of golf I’ve ever experienced and had to abandon it after 9 holes (3 hours).
£35 shocker
Avoid sunny weekends I guess as it’s a free for all. Chav central
Great course
Thoroughly enjoyed the course. I’m a new golfer and found the course had some fairly simple holes but also some tricky ones.
Very open course, tee boxes in good condition and greens good compared to other courses I’ve been on.
