Great little course
Great little course on the door step. Only marked down slightly to reflect the current condition due to essential course maintenance. Still playable thanks to the efforts of green keepers. Luckily doesn’t affect my poor putting skills 😂
winter greens
Winter greens mid season, no notice of this at all until i reached the first green and could not see the pin!
Fairway bunkers full of weeks rock hard. really poor for full price (even though full price is only £22) and would not have played there if i had known about the greens.
Handy course
Very handy re travel. Because its only nine holes be preparep to wait on tee boxes. Apart from that its spot on for convenience
Backworth golf club
We found the course in a very nice condition. Very dry after all previous days rain. Only 9 hole course but playing twice. Little wait at half way to start back nine. No club shop and nothing open until 12 mid-day, so difficult to get a buggy, (only 2 available) On the whole not a hard course to walk. Will play again
Lovely course
First time at back worth won't be the last.
The greens were absolutely spot on.... probably best I've played on for a long time
Course is relatively easy, but greens are narrow and well protected which makes it interesting.
Superb value for money!
Early tee at backworth
The course was in great condition.As it was an early start a lot of cutting going on on greens and tee boxes .The ground staff friendly and made every effort to minimize disruption
In all a great round of golf
Backworth golf club
Really friendly on arrival,course was in great condition,pace of play was steady will definitely play this course again. Cost average
Good course
Always loved Backworth, course is better now than when I was a member. Down side you can't pay to play 9 holes only. If you want to play 9 holes it's the same price as 18.
Not too bad, it was a lovely sunny day. Had a pint in the bar ‘ friendly staff.
Nice course 9 holes went round twice’ 2 nice par 3s enjoyed the course.
Course review
Very good value for money. Course was in very good condition. Greens true and quite fast
AVOID!
Poor course conditions, members were rude and conrontational in the most part, advised they had a members competition and there were no tee timed until after half 12 which was fine as we had booked 12.50. But proceeded to tell us that the course was closed for this reason? Unfortunate that a close so close to my home could leave such a bad impression.
A member also confronted us asking if we had brought our own mats to use in the fairway.. this was not disclosed on golf now as a requirement and the member stated we should go buy one and come back... not sure this would have made much difference as the fairways were not to dissimilar to the rough in parts.
Avoid at all costs unless you are planning on walking on without paying, backworth has no club shop or check in area, doing this would provide good value for money!
great conditions
the course is kept really well NO SQUELCHY MUD IN NOVEMBER well done greens keepers
