Avisford Park Golf Club

A nice late booking for the bank holiday Monday, as most courses were closed. Played here a fair few times and this is the best I've seen it in years.

Greens had been recently slit but were recovering well, fairways were a little long but again, very sensible given the weather we have had, some great holes, didn't play too well going out but a silly 3 putt on 18 stopped me playing the back 9 under par....

There is a fair few areas that can catch you out, plenty of areas to avoid, given its shortness it can be tricky....really enjoyed our round, nice mix of near drivable holes along with some longer ones.

Plenty of small bunker which can grab the ball.

Keep it Avisford as it's a lovely place to play....

The course was looking a little tired from all the hot weather, but you could see the hard work was keeping it together. The greens are superb in every way. The course offers a nice contrast between front and back 9’s. I would recommend this course to anyone. Great value and a pleasant environment.

We shall return

First 9 holes surround the hotel and are flat . Every green was well kept, true relatively easy to read and very springy. excellent. the 2nd half was across the road and totally different. . very angular. challenging but being a first time player here I didnt know the " members bounce" shots. I didnt enjoy it as much although the greens here were also really well tended too. Great value for money and the unique metal art installations were interesting. I would play again.

Have played every course in the county, avisford is a gem, as of august this year it is easily in the best condition of anything in the area, the fairways arent watered but there is still plenty of grass there unlike some of its bigger more expensive neighbours. the greens are superb, smooth as butter and the tee boxes are obviously well taken care of.

The staff are very helpful and alerted me that the clubhouse would be closed and my after round drink could be taken in the hotel. well done to these guys for keeping their prices very fair when others are profiteering and offering inferior product.

Loved it but the barrier was locked whilst we were playing, by the time we found that there was another way out we didn't have time to complete the full 18. It would have been handy to know this up front!

Great course though, would definitely like to give the full 18 a go.

Overall a nice course to play. Could do with some TLC in all honesty but nothing major.

Will probably play there again.

The front nine is repairing fast, on the flat no hills. The back nine is in perfect condition up and down the hills.

We played from a 1.24 T time at 4pm (having stopped for a drink refill as it was so hot). We found the gates back from the 18th locked!! We had to go through a hedge to get out!! This was at 4.10pm. Nb the car park barrier was also down.

I have emailed for a response but have heard nothing.

Really should a golf course lock up at 4pm on a summer day?.

Good course played before but it's reopened, course in good condition and greens very good

Sadly due to the closure of the course and the green keepers having no machinery for three months the course isn’t in great shape so the value for money isn’t there. Usually Avisford is kept in tip top condition, hopefully it will get back to that?

The bloke who served us on arrival and after our round obviously hates his job and did not make you feel welcome. This was confirmed by two members of the course when speaking to them after our round.

Not nearly as good under new ownership .Greens very poor .Shame used to be very good . Bar closes at 5.00pm not good for drink after game in afternoon .

Greens certainly under repair, like putting on glass. Was only decent since it was so quiet, but now we know why & it was hard booking a tee time. With house developments nearby I would guess course maybe no longer soon perhaps, which makes sense to not take too much care now

Nice course with two different nines. One is the standard hotel course layout second runs up and down a valley

We were surprised just how good the condition of the course was considering the weather recently.

A nice course with interesting holes.

Enjoyable course to play, suits the shorter hitting higher handicapper in a competition or friendly match......

Although wet in the week prior the course stood up rather well overall, pick and ace made sense as the ball was taking a fair bit of mud on at times, no plugging though.

We followed a 3 ball round and witnessed on several holes a massive divot being taken and not replaced....just walked over.....wanted to say something but where's it get me!

Probably members who'd be the first to moan if they landed in it! I replaced masses out there along with repairing a heap of pitch marks too.....both a pet hate of mine, it takes seconds and keeps the course in a better condition....just common sense?? Surely.

Anyhow enough of the moans....

Some love par 3 holes out there especially the back to back ones on the back 9, some shorter par 4s that allow a wedge in as a 2nd shot, we played off the whites and enjoyed our friendly battle, plenty of areas to lose balls if you're a semi wild player, definitely not a driver every hole....

Plenty of bunkers, don't seem to hold a good sand, seems too claggy like builders sand? Not fine enough, but does the job....happy to play here every now and then for a change from the links....

Only a putting green to practice on with no chipping and a well worn net in the way of facilities....

Course in VGC, Greens looking good for time of year.

Only negative is that some of the fairway yardage markers are marked incorrectly eg on the 16th fairway the 100 yd marker has 200 yards on it. Also some of the tee box yardage plates are incorrect in terms of yardage.

However I would recommend this course because of its condition and the different layouts between the two nibes.

Well maintained course with hotel. This course had greens like carpet! Not too challenging for the professionals, but the second nine has some surprises. Loved it.
