Boundary Lakes Golf Course

Looking for a 18 hole membership, so decided to try this course. Been here 4 or 5 times now (Nov to Jan) to see the course while it’s open during winter conditions. And I have to say each time as a single player, how slow the play is and on this occasion I played the last two hole’s in dark conditions. So I will say this

Positives

Great course (would have liked to play it in the summer)

Staff helpful and friendly

Price (would choose this course over similar priced courses)

Open, with all the ice and cold conditions when other courses were closed

Negatives

Parking, if you cannot park near the shop then expect a 5 to 10 minute walk to course

Slow play, too many players with the range finders and electric trolley types (range finders on the Par3 151y seriously)

Hate to think how busy/slow it would be in the summer (I have played on different day’s as well)

So I found this course a great challenge and it’s only going to get better, but the wannabe Rory’s and Tigers let it down. I will be playing elsewhere in future which is a shame as I like the course

Enjoyable round for all 6 of us that played. Course seemed to have coped well with the weather and was in good condition for time of year. Holes where interesting and challenging right to the end and kept you interested. My only issue was the layout. It's a hilly course anyway but the walks between holes where long. That wouldn't put me off playing there again.

What can I say other than this is a poorly run course. The pro in the shop was useless, slap a smile on it......

The course conditions were very poor and the pace of play was terrible. Walked in from the 14th as it was just so busy......

Great Course and well kept, irrespective of winter weather, the majority of the course was off the normal tee boxes with only a few playing of relocated mats, got to say the new layout is fantastic, we played in between Christmas and new years so was quite busy, took us 4.5 hours to get round. We paid circa £25 each which felt like good value and totally justified given the course… naturally it’s quite a new course with a new layout this year so over the next few you will see a lot more of the intended shrubbery and hazards also start to properly bed in and develop. I will say that I have looked to play this during the summer and the cost is quite a lot more… really anything over £45 seems a bit steep for any course in the area in my opinion and starts to become unjustifiable, though the excess of daylight means you could probably find a deal somewhere, you just need to get the timings to work with friends.

Course layout was spot on, members were friendly and chatty but took us nearly 5 hours as a two ball.

Tried to book a 2 ball online and couldn't be accepted so called to get on. Took the booking over the phone and then charged an inflated rate and didn't advise any of this, tried to explain all issues to pro shop but didn't show any interest or acceptance. Speaking to members they have also expressed frustrations with pace of play advising it regularly takes around 5 hours for a round.

First time at Boundary Lakes and was very impressed by the course condition considering recent heavy rain. After playing some other local corses recently, it totally surpassed all with its condition.

If it plays this well in December i can only imagine how good this course is in drier conditions

Amazing course, very hilly and a tough course

The course layout was good, some beautiful holes with great views and features. Found the pace of play to be perfectly fine, i was a solo ball and didn't feel held up once. The only issue was finding the car park on my first visit as google maps takes you to the wrong side of the stadium so be aware of that.

The holes themselves are good and challenging with lots of undulation to make it a good challenge, and the greens were immaculate and lightning fast! But the fairways needs much better grass coverage it's so patchy, which wirh how dry it is makes it basically hitting off dirt all the time. Even with preferred lies in place you can't really drop onto a better lie as it's all the same. Although the greens were good, the green side area again are patchy and a bit messy.

Annoying that it's an out and back so you don't get near the clubhouse you just get further and further until you start coming back from the 16th.

Pace of place was horrendous, a 4 ball with 2 buggies was just holding everyone up, 3 hole gap infront of them. No marshalls or staff though would see unless they drive around because you're so far form clubhouse they can't see when a severe hold up is created.

Great course well maintained and friendly staff unfortunately play was a little delayed due to the women’s open

Played here 7 times now and the fastest round has been 4hours 50mins average is just over 5 Longest being 6 hours. Tee times are way too close together almost makes it unbearable to play. It's a sub 6000 yard course it should be taking 4 hours tops. If this can be resolved and once the new layout is introduced which will be soon its a decent course with good greens. Members tell me it's near impossible to get tee times competing with hotel guest. Has all the potential to be good just being over booked with 6min tee time gaps

Ironically we had two starters both mention repairing pitchmarks, pitchmarks were the least of their worries.

Tee boxes were fine to be fair.

Fairways, I would say patchy but that wouldn't be doing it justice, There was barely any grass coverage, vast areas of just mud.

Greens, perhaps it was maintenance week recently, but the greens were almost as bad as the fairways.

You can't want to play golf this much, do yourself a favour and have a day off.

Lots of fantastic holes, very challenging,

Gets backed up at the same point every time we play, probably due to being in the 2nd of 3 layout changes with the extensive (and great) works that are going on.

It’ll be fantastic when it’s finished, one of my top 3 layouts locally.

Lots of singles out seemingly every time we visit which also means you get chased a lot, and again factors into the pace, with lots of groups letting individuals play through.
