Decent

The Abbey is a good course but only problem is any bit of rain sits as its a flat course, i do think also the price should reflect that because i paid in the summer less and had perfect conditions and this time it was a very marshy and we hadnt had much rain prior. Still love the course and staff are bang on

Nice enough but painfully slow

The welcome in pro shop was friendly and the practice facilities good. The course was in good condition the greens were very hard and more links like than parkland but once you knew that they did role true. My main reason for low rating was the 4min spacing of the tee times - this meant it was congested (even at 8:30) and pace was painfully slow so much so that I didn’t bother to play after 8 holes as I was looking at 5:30+ hours. A shame as everything else was good

Great course but pace of play needs to be sorted out badly!

Played today, really nice tricky course, immaculate greens, fairways in good condition but the pace of play is a joke never teed off over 10 minutes late before through slow play and it never got any faster through the holes gave up after 9 holes.

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear you found our course tricky and enjoyed the immaculate greens and fairways in good condition.

We’re sorry to hear you didn’t complete your round, but at least the great value £18.50 twilight green fee (charged at 2.12pm in June!) which is reflective of the time of day and amount of golfers booked ahead - still offered great value for even 9 holes!

We also want to note that if you had popped into the shop or contacted us directly, we would have happily offered you a return visit credit.

We appreciate that on very busy days, things can slow down a bit, and we hope you’ll consider giving us another shot perhaps on a quieter day.

A quality challenging golf course.

I used to play here often around 20 years ago and I really enjoyed playing here again and will make sure I return more regularly from now on. The greens ran really true which made the round really enjoyable and I had a good match against my golfing buddy. Fairways are pretty generous but if you stray off there is some brutal foot high rough waiting for you. Although this is cut short under some groups of trees. A really diverse range of holes and some longer ones to suit longer hitters. Some challenging par3 holes too. Can highly recommend.

Almost 6 hours!!!!

Really nice golf course, well looked after and maintained with some challenging holes and dog legs but as the title says, almost 6 hours to play 18 is just not on, no marshals out on the course at any point from what we could see.

Definitely recommend

I would definitely recommend The Abbey . Facilities were great staff were very friendly. Lovely terrace overlooking the 18th hole . Food was ok . The course was in very good condition but make sure you stay straight if you veered off into the rough at all very difficult to find your ball as the rough is long . Other than that the greens were solid so if you tried to pitch on them they ran off . We had a great day will be back soon .👍🏻

Beautiful course

This is a beautiful course at a very good price, for the time of year and the weather we have had the course was in great condition, 2 or 3 greens could have done with a little more love but overall fantastic, we will definitely be going back

The Abbey

Not played the Abbey for a few years

I can see the work they are putting in to make improvements,

The bunkers , tees etc

The green wasn’t great at all

Yes I know it early in the year and the new season hasn’t started , but could be better

Great visit

It was my first visit to the Abbey and really enjoyed it. Some of the shorter holes look easier they are where a strategic first shot is more important than the driver. Would definitely visit again
