Great course

I played the par 3 Temple course as there is also a 9 hole course here too. It was very damp conditions but the course held up pretty well I thought. Very nice layout and greens were in pristine condition. Not very many hills if your a little unfit like myself or a little on the aged side. Also a very good driving range on site. Will definitely be back.

Temple par 3

A great par 3 course, with eighteen holes, and value for money, great for those who want to improve the short game. Greenkeepers have done a great job, only negative is to other players, who can't be bothered, repairing divits, and ball marks on greens, shame on you.

Temple 18 Hole Par 3 Course

A good selection of different par 3 holes at an excellent price of £13 each for 4 ball. A bit of work on greens needed to make them better , as they've been spiked and sanded. Overall a good little course for beginners or more seasoned players to get a bit of practice with your irons. 😎👍

Great Par 3 course

Course was in great condition today and greens were very good. Staff are friendly, Nineteen cafe is good for a bite after the round and the driving range has ball tracking etc so a great course for all facilities. We played the par 3, a good mix of short and long holes to test your short game.

bring on the better weather

played the temple course a few times before, pretty soggy in places today which is expected after such bad weather recently, however because of that alot of the holes were reduced to basically pitch and putt, mats/tee boxes being brought very far forward. a little frustrating. greens were decent, a little soft but the ball ran well, despite alot of unrepaired pitchmarks. hardly anyone out today so pace of play no issue. looking forward to better weather and no more winter rules!

First Time Playing

Slow play , otherwise decent

First time playing at the Blackwood , as a one ball I was hoping to get out first but left it late to book.

Ended up being paired with two other guys such in the GolfNow way but they were happy enough to let me play through. I then spent the next 17 holes behind the slowest 2 ball I’ve ever played behind (given it was a par 3 course). Marking every putt , trolleys in front of every green etc

Not a massive reflection of the course but important to know before you book.

The course itself is well laid out in terms of how the holes flow , albeit there’s next to no signage from hole to hole so i was just following the group in front.

For 14 quid you’re getting good value , but if you want to get round in less than 2 hours- go out as early or late as you can.

Most greens very well kept given the wet summer and the pro was very welcoming.

If you’re looking for something different and want to hone your iron play off the tee, it’s definitely worth a go
