Friday afternoon game

Great afternoon, good condition, all fairway, tees, greens nice.

As before too many trees, if you miss the fairways you have to chip out sideways, feel this a bit unfair.

Still keep coming back.

Lovely course

Really enjoyed playing the course, some narrow fairways, you have to be straight and able to plot your way around the course, and you don't have to be a big hitter. A good challenge.

Friday afternoon game

This is a tough course , very tight.

Slight pull, or push you're in trouble.

Too many trees i played the 5th part 5.

Pulled shot left , was in a small forest.

Trees everywhere. Can't go forward, even hard to chip out .

It can mentally drain you as you have to be SO accurate.

Still I keep coming back .

Don't be surprised if you only get 30 points Stapleford, it's very tough...

Greens today slow, just hollow tinned , sandy.

But it has to be done some time.

Still worth £23

Great course but lack of information given about work on greens and too many temporary greens on for the price would have been nice to be told . Plus I've played this course a lot if times and still the lack of sand is a problem its what spoils a really nice course ..

Windy

Haven't played here for a couple of years & it's really matured.

The course was in excellent condition from tee to green .

A long course that played even longer on a windy day.

A must to hit the fairways or you are in the tree's hitting it back into play sideways.

Good value at £20 , but you need to have your A game to score well.

What a well thoughtful course that challenges everyone’s tee skills. The narrow fairways with matured tree lines makes it a real challenge hitting low chip and runs to recover. The greens are small but very quick and there are four picturesque holes. The bunkers are really well positioned and difficult. A must play course for all

Fantastic course.

Course layout was great, with well kept tee boxes and bins at every other tee which keeps the course tidy. Green keepers have done a fantastic job with the line work on fairways and even the rough was maintained. Will definitely play here again.

Lovely but challenging course.

Really enjoyed playing Bondhay for the first time in about 17 years. The course is in great condition and well looked after. It is a very challenging course, made more difficult if you don’t hit the fairways.Only 2 negatives, from a guests point of view there could be better signage to some of the tees or a course map on the card. Secondly, and this isn’t the fault of anyone to to do with looking after the course, why can’t players repair their pichmarks, some greens were peppered with them. The greens are in great fettle, help look after them.

Friday afternoon game

Been coming to bondhay for many years.today the course was at its best, nice fairways, greens a nice pace, holding well after the rain. Staff friendly approachable.

Very enjoyable as always you have to think your way around as it is a tight course , don't need driver all the time due to narrow fairways.

Enjoyable

Great course

Played it for the first time yesterday, and was amazed how pretty the course is..... stunning hole after stunning hole. Quite challenging though and tight, but managed to not lose a ball....(more luck than judgement). I will be going back for sure.

Bonday

Utterly disappointed as we walked off after 11 holes as the pace of play was ridiculously slow 3hrs 10 mins for 11 holes is just not acceptable. It was a real shame as the course was it really good condition, lush fairways and smooth fast greens. This is the second time we have played bonday in the last 2 months we thought last time was slow @ 4hrs 40 for 18 but this time we was looking at 5hr 15 + round. I would not advise anyone to play here at weekends but maybe worth a try on a week day. We paid £25 + £1 golf now fee for just over half a round which in anyone’s book is poor value. I shall be asking for a refund from golf now but don’t hold out much hope of getting one. Bonday need to sort out the slow play as guests will not be returning……
