Tough, tight and great value

Very impressed by this genuinely tough championship course. Very tight, tree lined and lots of bunkers and water in play. A proper test, and some fantastic holes. Friendly pro shop and members.

Had a lot of rain hours before I played but the course coped well and was in cracking condition for the time of year.

A Dry Course

I have played this course 10 years ago in the summer, I wanted to see if it was a good couse to play over winter, (when we have had a lot of rain) The couse was dry all the green were ropped off the keep trollys away, but you still played on the normal greens, tees were good All the fairways were dry so it looks like a dry challanging couse tree lined with lots of bunkers.

Great

All round great course, fairly new to golf so found it challenging but not unplayable. The course was in great condition for the time of year, all greens in action, pace really good. Buggy’s were a little on the expensive side but all round a great day of golf.

Excellent Course

Can’t believe you can play this course for £22. Course was pretty much immaculate. The only downside was that we got stuck behind a works function so the round took 4 1/2 hours.

Course in great condition. The water-guarded holes were a particular highlight.

Playing fairly difficult with fast greens and tree-lined fairways. Be prepared to pitch out!

Poor bunkers.

Course in fantastic condition. Greens fast. Only grumble is the bunkers. The sand is very hard, making bunker play difficult.

danny willett childhood course. Fabulous course ,set up as a championship and plays like one , distances often misleading , as uphill greens above water hazards ,maybe 150 yds but often with longer carry require sometimes 2 club adjustment . Beautifully manicured fairways . Greens like snooker tables . Course was in excellent condition.

Best Condition Ever

My golfing mates and I play this course around 6 times a year and it’s one of the most challenging courses around. In September 2020 it’s in the best condition I’ve ever seen it, the fairways are lush and the greens are running very true. Bondhay will challenge your golfing ability and your mental control as you are often in the trees and chipping out becomes an art form. Straight hitters do well here and those who think they can thread a 3W through the trees to a green fade away quickly. Get yourself there soon and enjoy the course and it’s fantastic layout with the 18th hole being one of the best I’ve played bar none !
