Roman Road GC

This is a nightmare of a course. Not for high handicap golfers. Every hole up hill and down dale. I had a buggy luckily but two of my son's didn't. They could not play the next day. Lost many balls found none. Good luck if you decide to play there

Absolute gem 💎

Booked last minute and couldn’t have been better. Starter was very friendly and offered some good advice. Course is looking fantastic but greens were too quick for the ‘average’ golfer. Lovely front 9 layout and tough back 9 playing around the hotel.

Great course, no course Marshall

Great resort and a fantastic place to play Golf, played here quite a few times before.
Unfortunately this time with tee times atb12:30 and 12:40, by 16:50 we walked off after having played 12 holes, with 12 people waiting on the tees.
No Marshals on the course to move play along and one 3 ball holding the course up with no one in front of them. The manger blamed lack of staff, but there are still Guys stood on the Par 3s selling tickets for hitting the green🤔.
We played Roman Rd this time, greens and fairways fantastic, but very little sand in the bunkers.
All members of staff were more than helpful and a great place to play, just a shame it isn't marshalled better to keep pace of play up. YMC.

Roman Road on a Wet Tuesday

With the weather being so wet over the last month, we expected the course to be be wet and except for the greens, it surely was!
The greens were excellent and the layout of the course is superb.
All in all, despite the weather, we had a good day in a great venue.

Will be a lovely course in the summer

We've just had alot of bad weather which has taken its toll on the course, give it a few months and it'll be a lovely course.

Should have been closed

The course was so water logged it should have been closed. I personally think they Just wanted to get some cash on a bad weather day. We were offered vouchers if we didn't want to play but I personally think the course shouldn't have been open in the first place

Frozen golf

Played the roman road. Greens covered in ice and solid. Why the course wasn't shut I don't know. Claimed a voucher from them and they give me half my money back. Pretty bad as we only played 9 holes.

Great Course

Great course, really interesting, variety of holes, bit of water towards the end, plenty of elevation so a very enjoyable round. Was very wet (no fault of the course) and this made it tougher than it would normally be as playing very long. Facilities/staff all excellent, would thoroughly recommend if can get a deal :)
