Mr David A

I enjoy playing here as it is local and is a good test. i play off 11 but the issue remains the same greens! The problem is the greens they need to be treated and also visitors need to respect them. Pitch marks take seconds to repair and recover dont repair them and they take weeks to recover. That is not a club issue its a mdmbers and visitors issue

You get what you pay for...

Staff very friendly and a decent cheap breakfast. Course layout was good but the tee boxes were pretty poor but the course is massively let blown but the greens, bordering on unplayable.

Very Picturesque, Awful Greens

Great course, very scenic and nice wide fairways, fun challenging course, great for beginners and experienced players. Shame about the greens, they are in awful condition, they are very sandy, dry and bobbly, the ball bobbles all the way to the hole when putting. The tees are also not very well signposted.

We did have a lovely day tho and very worth the £14 hot deal we got to play here.

8th hole challenge

I find the course challenging. I have only played 8 courses. The 8th,hole is.a challenge because of the water.

If you miss the fair way. The rough can dense. The signage around the course is good. The tees and greens could do with improving.

I will be coming back to play.

Get what you pay for

Looking for somewhere cheap to take my son out for practice and it fitted that purpose, but greens were horrendous and tee boxes were uncut and patchy, in August this should be the course at its best.

Ok if you’re just going out to hit a few balls

OK round

Friendly staff. No range or putting surface. Greens in great condition. Tee boxes and fairways could do with some water. OK round.

Blake golf course

Average course but reasonable value as only £20 per round. Quite an open course and not overly challenging. Greens left a lot to be desired- a bit patchy and puts didn’t always roll straight due to the patchiness

poor condition

The course is very exposed and can be really windy. The fairways were in poor condition with lots of bare lies and the greens were similar. Overall a bit disappointing.

Good value for money

Not the best green conditions compared to some other local courses but not as bad as some people had told me and it was still a nice course to play. Rough is thick so punishes wayward shots.

Staff were extremely nice and polite - Would definitely recommend to friends.
