Hard going.

It's a very hilly course with far too many blind holes for my liking. A number of fairways cross which I did not like. Fairways were not obvious and could do with a trim. It was misty when we played, but on a clear day the views would be great. Overall everything was a bit tired and could do with a revamp.

Amazing views

Lovely course which tests your brain somewhat. Clifftop course with lovely views. We had a great day weatherwise but imagine it being challenging in windier conditions. Fairways and greens all well tended. Really nice course. Thank you.

A good afternoon

A good afternoon for golf. Course in the best condition we've seen it, probably in preparation for an open competition taking place at the course a few days later. Unbelievably, the course was largely deserted so we were unhindered all the way round. The weather couldn't have been better too.

Stunning Views, A Bit Wacky

Stunning views, interesting layout and holes. Most of the holes are blind - even 150 yard par 3 you couldn’t see the green (just the tip of the flag!) Greens were better than expected, on the slow side but consistent, rolled nicely and they had interesting slopes etc. The driveway up to the course/clubhouse is pretty grim, v steep and narrow so make sure your handbrake works!

No club hire

If like me and my son -you are on holiday and fancy a round -don’t rely on this place to hire you some clubs as advertised on their website

Booked the round but when I rang to check was told there’s only 1 set and it was out- but was welcome to see if there was a few random clubs knocking about round the back

For a start there was 2 of us and didn’t fancy paying £60-£100 for a round with a bunch of of oddments

Shame was really looking forward to it all week

Axe Cliff

The only reason I down mark the coarse is because the fairways grass is too long and the 2nd cut is like the rough!

Axecliff

Course in very poor condition lots of blind shots to marker posts. Seemed to be always looking for the ball due to long daisy ridden fairways and vey long rough just off the fairways. At £30 it should be a lot better. Shame because views are impressive and greens ok.

Good fun 18 holes.

Golf course is a good challenge of golf, with some very interesting holes. Fantastic views. Greens and fairways in good condition for the time of year/weather conditions.

Tee boxes not in the best of condition but didn’t spoil the round. Great value for money and staff very helpful.

Winter Golf Bargain

Atrocious weather we’ve had lately our course was closed as were a number around Somerset that we normally would play. Axecliffe is only 50 minutes away for us so we booked last minute and even with all the rain we’ve had the fairways were good. The greens were excellent. I even came off, of course without any mud on my trousers such Was the condition of the fairways

as always the clubhouse is friendly and I would recommend this course to anybody in the area as it is not only good value but a good challenge and you will be wanting to play it again soon after your first round

Axe Cliff GC

I played yesterday when most other courses were waterlogged and unplayable, Axe Cliff drains really well with an interesting varied course, signage not the best but as I have played it before I knew my way around. The views are spectacular looking out to see and I shall certainly revisit.
