Atherstone Golf Club

I’d never really heard of this course before playing today, a very tough test of golf that requires the use of all clubs in the bag. Premium on accuracy rather than length although there are quite a few testing long par fours !

Well kept and greens were deadly quick but very true. I immediately went home to check the membership price and if my back and legs hold out I will be becoming a member shortly!

Thanks to the pro for taking the time to make sure we knew our way round the course as it would be easy to get lost !

Try this hidden gem I’m sure you will enjoy it

First time playing the course. Staff were okay when they could be found.

No particular help with the course layout.

Found the course to be very difficult, a lot of blind greens… when you take fairway shots you have no idea where your ball has landed… extremely rough with long grass just s few metres from the greens… no way of knowing where your ball landed.

Spent a lot of time looking for balls, thankfully no one behind me so didn’t cause slow play.

May pjsy again if price is oksy.

Wow what a lovely course will defo be backrse, 1 of the best I've played, challenging tho,

Nice course, in the middle of nature, not an easy one.

Played today, best course I’ve played on, better than the PGA at the Belfry, just a couple of little gripes, poorly sign posted for next T, and the distance between some of the greens and next T, didn’t spoil things for us though, will be going again 😁

What a course. Really enjoyed it. Very naturally presented. You feel as though you are playing on fairways just as nature designed them. Yet it’s plays like a thoroughly modern course. Despite it being spring it was well presented and will be even better in summer. A couple of holes have really special feel about them. On the negative side, there are plenty of blind shots both off the tee and approaches, tricky if it’s your first time and you’re playing alone! And a couple of holes don’t flow naturally from green to next tee and could do with some clearer/better signing. But those are minor gripes. Atherstone is awesome. And the folks are friendly too. Go play it

With no prior warning, has 5 holes been close, and one on a temporary it was not enjoyable at all

Very popular place to play golf has lots of visitors and members very challenging course looking forward to playing this course again

I booked Atherstone because my mate told me he was keen to play it. I got what I thought was a Hot Deal, £19 for 18 holes! What I didn’t know was that 6 holes on the course were closed for maintenance.

Now I know it’s possible to play some holes twice but I’m not sure that is a fair response!

The other issues with the course were how frozen the greens were which made it impossible to play directly on to them which makes the game ridiculous and also the volume of leaves in ditches around the course. I know all mature courses suffer with leaf fall but most courses make an effort to clear them so that it is possible to find your ball if you inadvertently hit into a ditch. Overall a disappointing outing but I’d like to try it again later in the year

We played yesterday for the first time, great course with some awesome views! Tricky course but kept well!

This course is great the second time around as there's 4 bind holes, but overall a nice course

It could do with a pro shop for the usual, water.

Flapjacks, tees, all they have is a bar and you have to take your golf shoes off to go in,

Car park is rubbish, 1 driving net rubbish, putting green rubbish, all need s up grading to me,

Really enjoyed playing here, quite short but you need to be accurate, lots of blind shots.

had to think about a lot of the shots.

The course is very hilly though, so not for someone with bad knees.
