Autumn mid weeker

Lot of leafs down now so you need to stay on the fairway or your ball has gone.

The ground staff had the blowers out on the fringes which was great

11th green is in poor condition making putting iffy at best.

But rest of course was very good no temps for Tboxes or greens.

Tough, tough course

Always have enjoyed playing Bondhay but it's very tough.

To be honest far to many trees, many holes fairways very narrow.

You'd have to a very accurate driver of the ball to keep on quite a few of them and if you miss you're in trouble.

There's too many trees off the fairways so you sometimes have to hit onto the adjacent fairways to get further towards to green and then hit over the trees. Alternatively you try to chip out sideways due to the over planted trees years ago.

Still if you accept you'll not play to your handicapt ( maybe 10 to 25 shots higher) you'll enjoy the prettiness of the course.

The best way is think, think your way around, plenty of irons off the tees for accuracy accept you'll be shirt but on the fairway.

I still keep coming back so it's got appeal

No tougher test of golf

Bondhay is what it is, an extremely tough test of all your golfing abilities. The tightest fairways force you to hit shorter clubs which then obviously create a longer approach in. If your not straight off the tee your dead! Not to mention the 100+ bunkers the course has in place in the most inconvenient places

But that being said you can’t take the difficulty of the course away from the experience. In amongst the trees where you certainly will find yourself is clear of all leafs and sticks making it easy to find those way would tee shots

The greens are spot on for this time of year and the fairways are great, if you find them

Great day all round, would highly recommend to all golfers as long as you start your round expecting one of the toughest tests you’ll experience all year

Excellent test

Really enjoyed the course, it's of challenging tree lined holes and bunkering. Club house staff very friendly. Only complaint would be the course furniture/signage looks a little tired.

A challenging but fair track

Played Sunday evening, course was in great condition with plenty interesting and challenging holes and a bargain twilight price. Not for those that struggle to keep it in play off the tee with small fairways, a lot of trees and hazards coming into play, but even as a high handicapper I found it a fair challenge.
