Testing course at great value.

First time playing Holywell this morning and will definitely be back now I know my way around the course.

For a first time player some holes can be a little confusing where you are hitting too but hole to hole is sign posted really well. Don’t know what the speed of play would be like on a busy summers day as a few holes you have to wait for cars to cross roads or others on near by tee boxes but that wasn’t an issue for me this morning, thankfully. 18th hole especially is a little daunting as your tee shot is across a main road!

Course is in really good condition and it was nice to see drives actually bouncing down a fairway rather than the usual plug people would’ve probably became accustomed to.

Had a lovely meal and a pint in the clubhouse afterwards and the staff were very friendly.

Value for money, one of the best courses within an hours drive of me as £30 is an absolute bargain nowadays!

Excellent winter course

Had a superb day in fine weather. Played alone needing some much needed practice having not played for a while. Didn't lose any balls despite a couple of loose shots. A couple of holes closed. Friendly staff member informed me of this from the outset. Greens in excellent condition for the time of year holding well. Sank a couple of long putts so really pleased with my game overall and will return soon. Friendly member pointed me in the right direction when I lost my way to a tee.

Little gem

Played this course in December 2022. For the time of year this course was in very good condition, very playable no issues. Very friendly at the Professional shop. This cpurse is a one off you won't find another like it anywhere in the world. Not to be missed. And is playable all year round no winter greens and greens were in good condition.

Sheep and mines

Great day,unusual golf course in a good way.easy to walk,every hole had character and sheep grazing.

The greens keeper was out on course and shared great history of the course,from where the lead mines were to the concrete posts along the road that were used in WWII to stop planes landing on the roads.

Greens were in great shape,bunkers too.

Golf shop staff were nice and helpful,plus the guy in the bar after the round.

Definitely recommend playing here.

Family time

Definitely worth playing. The facilities are….Spartan. But the views. And the sheep on the course. And the horse bushes. There’s a quarry. It’s like a links, but it’s parkland. Holes are interesting. Well worth it.

Lovely, quirky course, great fun!

Hadn't played here before but seen some good course vlogs so gave it a go and didn't regret it! It has a lovely variety of holes (including the sheep on some!!) and really quirky in nature on some of them, the back 9 especially is very good although the little parkland section over the road is nice too. Greens were very good and the course in super condition - several green staff were out watering greens etc while we played which is a good sign. Excellent value for money at £15 and will definitely be back!
