Greens absolutely shocking

Played here last year a number of times yet cant remember the course being in such bad shape. Greens are impossible to putt on, bumpy and no warning prior to round. 100% the worst greens we have played on in the area possibly ever.

Spoke to a member in the carpark before leaving who was expressing the same issues about the greens. Explaining how membership had gone up yet the course has gone backwards. Hate to see it as it was a very likeable course, not anymore unfortunately. Needs alot of improvement.

Will not be back again

What’s happened - this isn’t a championship course

What’s happened to this once lovely golf course.

The greens were shocking the fairways needed cutting the course looked scruffy not the Bondhay I’ve played before.

All I would say is the condition on the back 9 is far better than the first 9.

Such a shame.

The greens had recently been hollow cored. The fairways grow really quick at Bondhay they was cut Thursday 27/8 normally they would have been cut again Monday 31/8 but being a bank holiday this was moved to another day. Friday 28/8 rained constantly all day meaning a lot of work had to be postponed.

A really fabulous course. Very challenging with tree lined fairways. Water in play on a number of holes. The 18th is a great Finish. Can’t wait to return. Looking to book already..

Testing course but good quality

A good course where you have to reslly think your way around. A lot of trees on every fairway edge meaning if u are 6ft wide of the narrow fairways u are chipping out. That said some lovely holes and course in nice condition.

Sunday morning

Booked the tee time through the app for myself and a friend. Still a bit cautious regarding the COVID situation so just 2 of us played. When we arrived at the course we were told that we had to pair up with another two ball (complete strangers). I wasn’t aware of this when booking and wouldn’t have booked if I had have known. We spoke to the other 2 ball and said due to the quietness off the course that morning we would go out in 2 x 2balls and see if it worked. Through about 6 holes it worked fine with a nice gap inbetween us, them and the group behind untill the shop lad came round moaning at us as we had split up. I tried to explain (Again) we weren’t holding anyone up and were not happy about pairing up with strangers. He then mumbled something about his boss and drove off. We then preceded on with our round at a nice pace not holding anyone up and finished our round in a normal time.

They were clearing trying to get as many people onto the course as they could and with the current situation I think this was a very poor shoe from the course.

Won’t be rushing back which is a shame as the course itself is in great condition.

Bondhay Afternnon Round 28th July

Friendly staff in shop. Very helpful

Course in good condition. At times on some holes not clear where you go to the next tee. Needs better signage.

Some members were a bit pushy on the back 9 making it a rushed affair.

Overall a good course, friendly staff

Don’t play Tuesday or Thursday morning

I do like this course it’s a great test of golf for all players however on my latest trip we got behind the seniors playing in midweek comp. 5 hours to play a round (2 ball) the groups in front would not let anyone through there pace of play was shocking snails move faster at one point we had 4 groups on the same hole (par 5 ninth) they was looking for balls taking more than 3 mins one guy spent 5 mins looking for his ball then walked back to place of original shot to play another ball no apologies at all they look at you like they own the course and you have no rite to be there. So you have been warned about it

There are fairer tough courses

The course is well kept and goodness greens. However, it is very tight due to the many trees and at times unnecessary bunkers.

Often a shot just off the fairway, which on other similar courses would cost a shot, results in a double bogey.

One to try and then maybe only play once a year. Suits the very straight hitter or short hitter.
