Old faithful for me

I play Blackburn GC often. Course is usually the driest course around during the winter. Few temporary greens and good quality winter tees. Played in April, dry weather and the course was in good condition. My only gripe was other golfers clearly not filling divots or pitch marks. Green keepers are amazing and all staff are friendly and helpful.

Course standard

This is the first time we have played Blackburn golf club. The course was very up and down which in wet conditions proved to be a bit of a trek. The standard of the greens however were awful. If you were putting you would lucky to have a Three put. All three of us were very frustrated by the end of the round. We will not be going back. Not a pleasurable experience.

Fully open but soggy

Course I’d extremely soggy. No standing water but poor drainage compared to a lot of other courses played. It is a nice course with some inviting long open fairways and nice little par 3s. Will definitely go back in the summer. All greens where open and have just been airated ready for sand.

First time playing and both me and my playing partner said what a nice course it was. It’s quite hilly so would recommend a buggy. There’s some really nice holes and the greens and fairways were in great condition. Unfortunately nothing is open on a Monday and the pro shop wasn’t open when we got there so wasn’t able to get a drink or anything before the round. Would definitely recommend a visit
