The Abbey

Absurd pace of play. Was on pace for at least a 6 hour round

Groups playing with no etiquette or thoughts for others

At one point where behind a group of 7

From th me 2nd hole onwards it’s a free for all and you are at the risk of the golfing gods

Course itself is nice but the pace detracts a lot

Get a buggy it is long

I'm not sure what people expect from a well priced course, I think middle aged men possibly have unrealistic expectations. Firstly, food and drinks were with us pre round within minutes, and tasty. The course is well set out, it's 18 holes I think most would really enjoy. I like a 90's course because they're maturing nicely and you don't get the boring up and down holes you tend to get on most older courses, and this has 18 good holes. We had millionaires golf on a Friday morning, so brilliant on that front. There's a range and good putting green to set you up nicely. The greens had obviously had a bit of blight or something, but so have a lot of courses and they were clearly being dealt with very well despite the terrible wet year we've had. Overall a great option at those prices, very happy to drive the almost 2 hours to play there again.

Played this course on the 24th sep we had terrible rain for a few days prior, I must say the course was in fantastic condition. Fairways was nicely cut and greens was running beautifully the grounds people obviously working hard. Would definitely recommend.

Overall this course has brilliant potential, however on the day I played I found the fairways were way too long, the rough was ridiculously long, the greens were fair but some had big divots close the the holes.

If you are considering playing I would strongly recommend getting a buggy as although the yardage of the course is only slightly over average, there are some holes with significant walks between green and next tee

Absolutely loved the challenge of this course. The length was perfect. However, the greens were odd. Every time my ball rolled on them it was like a magnet for these mini mud grains. It was impossible to clean the ball and putter after each attempt. Just meant the greens ran slower.

Overall, I’d return again as was good value for money and hopefully the next time the greens run a bit better 🤗

Plus got admire this beautiful deer 🦌

Reasonable course. Some greens patchy and some tees worn. Pace of play was really slow. Positives fairways ok and local to Redditch.

Was a member came back to play in June 2024, it has improved a lot , the greens were very fast and in great condition, the out of bounds on the 13th & 14th are not close enough to the woods, but all in all very good course to play,

Tried Abbey Hôtel for the first time and enjoyed the course, good layout, interesting holes, well placed ponds and bunkers. Plenty of trouble either side of the fairway and when you find the greens they are consistant and good paced. Lost a few holes but looking forward to playing it again, with local knowledge I should save a few shots. Great course overall

Have played this course a few times in the past, I must say that the overall condition of the golf course appears to have deteriorated quite considerably. The rough was very long, the tees were in poor condition, some of the bunkers had weeds growing out of them, the greens were very slow. I didn’t see a single ground keeper whilst out on the course. Spoke to some players from a golf society who all thought the course was “pants”. One of them said “typical hotel course, no attention to detail “.

Greens are good pretty fast, directions where to go are pretty miminal, hole information at T is non existent, and the fairways, well what can I say, green keeper is on a permanent holiday I think, they need to invest in some mowers, plus most expensive buggy I've ever had,

Very slow pace weekends, two 4 balls playing altogether is taking the p__s.

Had big expectations from the reviews I read but on the day vey disappointing. Course not maintained over grown poor layout easy lose your way.. will not be playing here again.

We were warned before we set out for our round that the fairways were in the process of being cut so as I imagine that already had us worried first four holes conditions were okay then came the patchy overgrown fairways were u would lose balls from a middle fairway shot and don’t get me started on the rough just of the fairways the first cut was 4-5 inches long and rough longer. Course layout was okay with some pretty holes but needs better care

We understood it would be boggy in places and were prepared for it.

The course looked tired and unkempt. Greens were shocking with bits of mud on all of them

Couldn’t tell the difference between fairways and rough. Loosing balls in the middle of the fairway was very frustrating due to long grass

Course looked tired and not maintained

The course was in good condition for the time of year, I had heard it is pretty wet but I found it to be fine. The bunkers were very low on sand. the course is long, fairways and greens were good. The big problem is the pace of play, we teed off before 9 and were stuck behind very slow groups, at times you could see 5 groups all queuing along the holes after 4hours 30 we walked off having just finished the 13th hole and looking like the round was going to take over 6 hours. I did play a Saturday so maybe a comp was holding things up. Give the course a try but get out first or pick a weekday.

I'd played the Abbey a couple of times before years ago and remember there being some interesting holes. There are some really testing holes, but this time it really was very wet with all the rain we've had, so it was playing naturally much longer. Greens were fair but balls were often plugging in and around the fairways which made it a real challenge trying to find your ball. I lost loads! I'd give it another go, but not in the Autumn/winter time,
