First time visitor but definitely will not be the last.

Beautiful course and a real test. Immaculate conditions although the greens would not hold a wedge in and ran through most times. Some bunkers very shallow with insufficient sand.

That's being picky though as overall it's a superb course. A real find.

Hardest course i've ever played

It maybe the hardest but I enjoyed it -spent a lot of time in the bunkers - I went into 16 bunkers that day

!!! Very challenging course with some long par 4's - the course and greens were in excellent condition only negative for me was the concrete like sand in the many fairway and green bunkers - overall it's a must play course

Bondhay Golf Club

A really good and enjoyable experience despite a thunderstorm soon after starting. The course was very well kept and the staff were exceptionally welcoming and friendly. There were many memorable holes on the course ie 10,11 and 18 for example and the course was interesting and challenging.

If it is good enough for Danny Willett it is certainly good enough for us. His comment that his Masters Green Jacket was his second because he was Junior Captain at Bondhay Golf Club speaks volumes.

My partner and I are now looking forward to a second visit and hoping to go better but certainly not enjoy it any more than we did.

Finally it was excellent value for such a good quality course.

Trees and bunkers!

This was the first time our friends had played the course. We were all impressed with the condition and value for money.

A course you need to be long and straight off the tee otherwise you could be punished by the trees. Can find your ball but cost you a shot. Lots of bunkers to contend with but mostly with enough sand in for easier shot out.

The clubhouse staff were friendly and food good. All in all a good day even though it rained!

Ying and Yang

- Layout is brilliant

- Greens are fast and challenging

- Great value for money

- Danny Willett boyhood club

- THE WORST BUNKERS IVE EVER SEEN!

- As a 2 ball we flew through the first 9 holes and then were rudely held up by a 3 ball which simply didn't let us play through which really spoilt it in the end.

Great value. Interesting layout

I've played other course that haven't been half as good as Bondhay and paid more than double the green fee.

Difficult treelined fairways mean you have to be accurate from the tee. Greens are undulating. Holes are interesting and make you think on the tee.

My only complaint is that the bunkers were bare and it caused the club to bounce and thin shots.

Our 4 ball enjoyed the course immensely and we will definitely play it again.

Great Course

After having my family members over from Majorca we decided to go for a round of golf. They were very impressed with the quality of the course and how it has developed over the years. The Value for money is incredible to say what the course conditions are like. As my aunty played with us a slight, if i was to be picky point would be that they do not offer any clubs for hire for ladies. On the course some bunkers could do with more sand in them but we cannot be to harsh towards the excellence the course has to offer. I live close by and it is one if not my favourite course that i would definetly play again soon.

100% Coming back

Some of the tightest fairways I've played in terms of available landing areas, very well protected by fairway bunkers which are maintained well. Greens are rolling fast and are very well protected.

The course requires the player to have a solid mental game to plot your way around and an ability to bounce back from a bogey. Ego golfers will suffer as the big stick will ruin your scores on many holes unless you can land it in perfect position. For £28 it's an absolute steal.
