Bondhay Golf Club - Championship Course

I love Bondhay, many do not, but it tests your abilities to the extreme and for those wanting a fun easy round, this might not fit your dream day out. I have played here regularly as a visitor and lately it is always in a great playable state and I am really glad to see they have put out proper fences to keep people away from the greens with wheeled trollies and buggies now. This will help it stay in a playable and for those who duck under them and ruin the course, take a look at yourselves as you will be first to moan when courses become unplayable. We played on an October morning and although the weather was great, autumn has begun and the thousands of trees at Bondhay are now shedding their leaves meaning a shot to the edge of the fairway or first cut is now potentially a lost ball. I know it would be great if they blew all the leaves away and or collected them, but in reality I doubt the course has the money or the time to do it every day. For me I will think twice about going now until the better weather comes back in 2024, but I will miss the course and the 18th which is one of favourite holes across all courses.

Tee’d off at 11:10 and didn’t finish until 4:30…

Two 4 balls infront were a joke and wouldn’t let us through even though there was only 2 of us.

Last 4 holes we’d had enough. Apart from that course lay out is class and worth a visit. Just don’t go on a Saturday with society players take forever.

Many hate this course, it has millions of trees and bunkers but that is just part of the make up of this lovely course. Take your medicine and expect to be in the trees on most holes, chip out and start again. Some of the holes are absolute beauties, 1,4,9,10,11,17 and 18 being my absolute favourite. At 40 pounds this is probably the top money you would pay for this course. Food is great here and overall this is a really good course to visit. It might rip your golfing ability to shreds but you need to come here and test your abilities.

Played bank holiday Mon at 12.09 we were a three ball no one in front and we let a 2 ball through on 13. Had the course to ourselves just under 4hrs at a steady pace. Condition of the course was first class greens a good true pace. Just bunkers with a lot of footprints but that is the people playing and not raking like most courses. Tight course and a pleasure to play.

Course in amazing condition. Fairways looked spectacular. Greens rolled true. Proper test of all aspects your golf game. Great flow to the course with some very scenic holes, 10, 11 and 12 is my favourite stretch. Par 5s examine your shot plotting skills. If you want to improve all aspects of your game then this is a great place to do it.

This course is well maintained and a great course to play. Most of them are long distance holes a lot over 400 yds with a few in excess of 500 yds. The greens are well kept and ran quite fast, so you need to be quite accurate. A great course to play, also the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Great value for money.

I played with my father in law who shot +6 on the Belfry a couple of weeks back. He was +19 here..

Loads of really tight fairways. I think I hit a tree on at least 11 holes.

Looking forwards to coming back to exercise my demons

First time playing here as I was in the area. Got an excellent rate of £16 on Golfnow, it was after 4pm but still managed to get full 18 holes in as the pace of play was good.

The course is visually stunning. Lush green fairways and greens, tree lined everywhere. It reminds me a lot of Woburn.

The greens were a decent pace with lots of subtle breaks in them.

I would say though that this course is very tight, there's no point thinking you're gonna smash driver everywhere unless you hit it really straight, as you'll be chipping out of the trees a lot.

All in all, this is a great course with some great designed holes and it's beautiful to look at from hole 1 right through to hole 18. Definitely give it a go.

Saw a bargain so drove from Doncaster to Bondhay, £20!

Checking in was brief no explanations etc and obtained code to get out.

Started my round and caught up with a very slow wayward 4 ball so missed the 2nd par 3 to proceed unhindered on rest of course.

The recent tidying up earlier in the year by removing trees etc has improved not only the lighting but the greens.

This is a great course, very varied on every hole. So many bunkers, for example at least 9 on the 12th hole. There are also 4 water holes, all of which are challenging!

There are plenty of trees on every fairway so ensure you drive straight! Not too much rough whereby you could lose your ball. However, there are many out of bounds where you will though

The greens were excellent and ran true, reasonably paced.

The clubhouse is nice and food available.

Enjoy a round here

Great course and course invery good condition.

Very tricky course off whites with minimal fairways to play with, surrounded with bunkers and trees with some great water holes. Can get away with driver but need to be accurate.

Greens very spongy and a tad slow but in great condition. Cracking course

Great value for money, course was very well maintained, with some of the best fairways I have played this year. Narrow fairways with lots of bunkers scattered around makes this a firm but fair challenge. Will definitely be back.

I would say a challenging course. Hot straight and you will be ok!

You have to ‘play’ & navigate through the course so it’s not a big stick from the tee on every hole which is nice. Some holes do tempt however with some risk and reward options!

Greens we’re pretty slow and fluffy,, (maybe due a cut) but ran true and the course is excellent condition in general and well maintained.

Tight fairways as a general rule and plenty of challenges which makes for a tough round of you don t land them!

Definitely worth a visit and it’s a good test.
