Boundary Lakes Golf Course

Let’s start with the positives. Staff helpful and friendly. Course played fair given the terrible wet weather early April and the greens were first class.

And now the negatives. The pace of play was excruciatingly slow. We waited every single shot, from the first tee to the last, sometimes for as long as five minutes. There was two sets of players on the same tee on every hole and as much as four sets of players on a single hole. It was way, way over subscribed and I can only put this down to simple greed. Six minutes between tee times is totally insufficient. We started at 13.32 and Dad walked after 13 as he had an evening engagement! Two of three players from the group behind also walked in after 13 and when the remaining player inevitably caught me up on the 15th tee, we completed the round together. The round lasted the best part of 5 hours!

And to cap it off, this golf course is in the middle of a major revamp. I’m sure it will be pretty darn good once complete but, having completed the first 7 holes right next to the thundering noise of the M27, the next half dozen holes were affected by major building works. Greens immaculate but playing in and around a building site, coupled with the waiting did not make for the relaxing afternoon we had sought.

I would like to give this place a second chance when the works are complete. The members are rightly excited by what it will become but for today, it was overpriced for what was a noisy, overcrowded and ridiculously long round.

Course in very good condition, considering the time of year and recent poor weather. Greens very good for pace and bunker sand in good condition allowing for decent chance of playing good shots out of them

First time I have played this course. Bearing in mind the horrendous weather lately, the course was in good condition, grabs were great.

Stunning views highly recommended.

Looking forward to retiring in the future

Great advice from the starter on the first tee . Thank you

Have been looking for a course to take out corporate membership and having played this course before really believed it was the ideal location. The course is great, good condition, great vistas and has its challenges. Currently being modified which is fine and does not impact the round too much.

The down side. We never completed the round! Groups of stags, the drunk loud type, not the antlered type, in front with no understanding of the etiquette of golf, and I am no snob! Dressed in jeans, tracksuits and trainers, stopping to talk to groups in front of them, stopping to drink alcohol mid hole, and were quite clearly unable to play. Pace of play was not acceptable, we ended up leaving after 8 holes, around 3 hours as we were never going to complete the round. Not ideal if you are hosting clients. Played with my son and two son in laws, two of which said they would not play the course again. Really disappointing as the first time I played the courseI raved about it and could not wait to play again.

Need to ensure that group bookings at least have an understanding and awareness of the etiquette of golf and strike a balance between the need to create revenue and providing a great experience.

Disappointing as the course is great!

Unfortunately very slow play, 5.5 hours for 18 holes is just too slow

Considering it’s a new course to be redesigning it already is pretty poor. It’s like playing in a building site.

Booking for 10:14

Have left after two holes/three tee offs.

Pace of play appalling, group in front.

Rated as above

Slow play from the 6th tee onwards, no offer the play through.

4.5 hours to play a short course is very poor. At one point there were 17 golfers playing a par 3 and a short par 4

First of all, this course is in great condition. Excellent on the eye and clearly well maintained.

I started with 2 clear holes and by the 3rd tee there were 3 groups waiting. The layout lends to bottlenecks which were not helped by single golfers (such as myself) holding up play.

Overall, the course management needs looked at and perhaps a starter would be a good addition.

I have serious reservations about playing this course again as 5hrs and a lot of standing around just isn't fun.

Great course good layout,greens very good and receptive bit of walking between some tee's.overall great for a game of golf and would recommend and would play again.

The course is very challenging with a lot of blind holes which if well kept would be playable but with the recent hot weather every fairway is like concrete, very hilly course would recommend a buggy if you don’t fancy being out of breath before every shot

First part of this course is brilliant and the rest of the front 9 is still good. Back 9 Has all sorts of construction going on, which for me isn’t an issue but for some may be.

The pace of play was awful. Queueing from the first hole onwards. Never had such a slow round and many parties were giving up leaving half way through the back 9, which you wouldn’t expect on a course of this standard and price range.
