Great course one of the toughest I've ever played

Bondhay is a great course you need your wits about you. Trees everywhere, bunkers, water. You need to have great course management around here. My brother used to play in the Danny Willet junior championship there. Would play again.

What a find !!

Fabulous days golf. What a find this was. Course is recovering from the hot dry summer in patches but still fantastic. No boring holes. Lots of variety in layout. Thought needed off the tee due to well placed bunkers that were excellently maintained. Clubhouse really friendly. Can’t wait to go back

Tight but enjoyable

The pro’s advise was to hit it straight - he wasn’t wrong with lots of the fairways lined by trees which almost guarantee a chip out. A thoroughly enjoyable course which was largely in very good condition with only a couple of signs of the impact of the hot, dry summer we’ve had. The 18th hole is a great hole to finish - stunning.

very tight

Good value at £12, always enjoy the drive up to car park. Course is the toughest Ive played. Think there are too many trees miss the tight fairways and you're behind a tree nearly always had to chip out sideways which I feel is wrong. Only have to be slightly off line and this happens. I;m a 8 handicap but this is to tight. Still keep coming back though so must be something I enjoys whether this is the challenge not sure..

Challenging course but enjoyable features.

Very friendly welcome. Excellent facilities for food and drink. The course is suffering from the dry conditions over the last few weeks. Some of the tees were poor. Greens were very good however. This is a long, tight course with lots of trees. Very important to be straight from the tee. It is a good challenge for all abilities.

Course in good condition as always. There was a delay on the tee booking over 30 mins and no mention of this in shop beforehand. Had to be told by someone on 1st tee. Pretty disappointing by that was a backlog and lot of waiting

Take snacks, your round will take a while!

The course is good and in excellent condition, especially considering the weather.

The course is challenging, if you aren't straight off the tee, you'll be in for a tough day.

Finally and most importantly, the pace of play is awful. My dad, brother and I have played three times in the last four weeks and been held up by slow play on every occasion.

Great course and great value

Excellent well kept course with plenty of challenging long par 4's. Course doesn't help my driver slice as plenty of bunkers and trees on the right to get you into a sticky situation. Challenging course with plenty of variety and excellent value for money.

Top Course

This course is terrific. I have played it many times and will definitely keep coming back for more. Its challenging, tight, tree lined, dog legs, water hazards. Its also stunning, very well laid out and maintained fairways and greens, it plays really well all year round.......I cant remember ever seeing a boggy patch. 10/10

Challenging but fun

This was our 2nd time playing Bondhay. The first time it poured down but we enjoyed it that much we had to come back for another go in more pleasant conditions. The course is challenging but plays incredibly well, weather a beginner or seasoned player, with plenty of bunkers and water hazards. The greens are in excellent condition and there are a few with multi tiers to add interest (and frustration). When you have completed your game, the clubhouse offers a great range of drinks and food at very reasonable prices and yes, the locals really are a friendly bunch. I highly recommend this course for a great day out and some fun golfing.
