Conditions are poor
Every fairway I hit I was still losing balls due to how wet the fairways are, worse course I’ve played condition wise in years.
Course layout is good with some lovely looking holes, however the conditions made it unenjoyable.
Good value for money!
Great round, second time playing the course. Few winter greens albeit fair conditions but this didn’t upset the round. I enjoyed the variety this course offers - a few tee shots over water and some blind shots which makes a fun and challenging experience. I never used the off-course amenities besides the pro-shop but there is a nice practice area before the 1st tee. Recommended course from my experience, will be back.
Terrible
Terrible golf course, terrible condition. No starter to regulate tee times, so there's just back log of folk waiting on tees. If you enjoy golf, don't come here.
First time playing here since covid pandemic. Front nine very poor condition greens needing attention and fairways needing work done. Back nine looks in better condition but greens are needing more work. Will play again at some point when things have improved. Very impressed with the pro shop
Poor Condition
Played this course twice in the last 9 months and I doubt I’ll be rushing to play it again.
The weather was really poor and the course probably should have been closed. A number of the greens were flooded. Weather is out with their control, but £24 to play a course you can’t putt on is poor.
General condition of the course is poor. The tee boxes are needing maintenance and the bunkers are in a terrible state. Greens in general are really poor and even removing the surface water issue, they were some of the poorest I’ve played on locally.
It’s on par or slightly below a municipal course so definitely not worth the £25-£35 for a round.
Design wise is actually good and with more TLC it could be a good challenge for any golfer.
Average
The course layout is very pleasant. Some really tricky holes. Some very rewarding holes.
Greens need some work.
Rough is wild but so was my golf. Avoid the rough and you are fine.
Couldn't get food after our game because it was too busy but the resteraunt was half empty.
With a bit of TLC it could be a top course but its let down by poor maintenance compared to other courses. Definitely room for improvement.
Avoid
We played this course as a last resort, because we couldn't find any other early Tee times, but instantly regretted it.
Green and Tee boxes are terrible.
Fairway is water logged.
Paths are a mess.
If you are not straight down the fairway your ball is lost.
No playing out the rough, the heather is wild and your ball is gone.
Never lost so many balls in my life.
Would not recommend or ever play again.
The layout is good, but the course is neglected.
Great layout and potential. Greens v poor and although potentially v good was alround tired
Course experience
Fairways and 1st cut, both needed cut.
Rough completely unplayable.
Greens - bare patches, need rolled, many with irritation holes, require watering.
Water features were just ponds of stagnant water.
Course has good potential, that’s why I have made these comments
Westerwood course
Was a cracking day for golf so booked a round here as had t played it before. One really good holes to be played here. Greens were pretty patchy on places but the pins were kept to the best parts of the green. Some holes had some distance to walk in between some, more so 12th-13th. However we really enjoyed the course & will boom again. Next time probably hire a buggy as the hills weren’t pleasant to us in the heat 😂
No excuse
Greens have been shocking for years. Now it’s worse than ever. Shame as it could be a good track. I’d recommend using this place for practice if you can find a £10-15 round price. Just pick up on the greens with an automatic 2 putt, as otherwise it’s pure comedy.
Photo shows the first green. The colour change represents a change in height of 2-3mm between the sections
Wrsterwood golf course
Not sure what's happened to this course but the greens were absolutely terrible .shocking worst greens I have ever played.
It's a shame I played here ad a boy 30 yrs ago and greens were terrific so I was very disappointed today the greens were awful such a shame obviously not spending money on course .
Don't go not worth it
Course is a great test let down by a lack of investment.
Let’s get this right out the way first and foremost.. the greens are bad. Not just the first hole although that’s definitely the worst. All 18 need serious time and investment. The course itself though is a cracking test and has some proper golf holes. Views are great and whilst some additional signage would be helpful to navigate each hole I still enjoyed the layout.
We took a buggy which I think helps massively. There are some steep climbs and big walks between some holes.
One thing is the car park.. it’s FREE for golfers but the signs don’t say that.. it just says “Hotel Guests” so both myself and my brother paid for parking £6 each.. which is a total nonsense anyway.. just to be told in the shop that it was free for golfers. Very frustrating. Guy in the shop was very friendly and helpful and we enjoyed our day. If they would only put some investment in the course it would be the best in the area in my opinion. As it is there is better value for money nearby.
No two holes the same
A very fun and interesting layout, with some great risk/reward holes, particularly on the back 9. I’d always wanted to play this course because of the design influence of Seve and it didn’t disappoint. Very clever use of water and dog legs. Also some stunning views across to the Campsie Hills. Would love to come back and play again at the height of summer.
Given the time of year, a cold and wet spring and wet conditions on the day, we probably didn’t see it at its best. A couple of the greens in particular need some attention and overall could do with some TLC to match the design. The drainage held up reasonably well under the conditions. Given the economic climate and cost of doing business I think golfers need to manage their expectations for the next few years about conditions of venues, given how expensive modern courses are to maintain.
Not a bad course
A good and enjoyable course to play. The paths around the holes are in desperate need of an upgrade. Potholes and uneven paths everywhere! But on the whole the course was good to play, if not a little sandy on the green in places.
Terrible Greens!
Disappointed with the greens, some of them were absolutely shocking.
Unloved
Well designed course which has been saomewhat neglected.
Greens need attention as do the tee boxes.
