Bondhay Golf Club - Championship Course

Real test of golf course in good condition for the time of year

Lovely course , very tight but if you use your head it’s a steady course to play .. got some cracking holes like 9th 10th and think it was the 11th par 3 .. pace was steady so don’t expect to do around in less than 4 hrs .. but is worth it … after round went in club house and had an all day breakfast , which was spot on … staff in clubhouse where lovely nothing to much bother .. so from start of the day booking in with young pro and finishing off in club house was a lovely experience…

Last played Bondhay 25 years ago when every tree was a sapling. Amazed at the maturity of the course now, it’s stunning. You need to be straight off the tee, some of the tightest fairways I’ve played. Will be back in summer. 4 stars for pace of play, but honestly it wasn’t bad - just a few times on the back 9 we were queueing three groups on a tee.

Bondhay really is a good course. It’s a tough test for players of all standards. The course has lots of variety with well placed water and bunkers. Bring your “A” game.

I’d recommend.

Good course layout, needs a lot of trees taking out to make it more enjoyable, coming out sideways for the smallest mistake is too punishing , greens were ok but very slow , bunkers were poorly maintained looks like nobody is raking them , driving range is terrible don’t bother , 7/10 not worth £25 at the moment

Would recommend this course to anyone very tough course but as good challenge

Well maintained, great layout just loads of trees so close to a fairway....no chance with the rough and you are straight into the trees, which does spoil the feeling of it all. The slightest mistake and you are coming out sideways. The bar isnt inviting and the bar staff weren't friendly but club shop guy was very helpful.

Course in excellent condition and a real challenge of golf

The title of my review might seem a bit weird but it’s true, on this course you have to do exactly what it says. Bondhay is a course you can love or hate, personally I love it. Yes, it’s one of the hardest courses in the area, yes it can chew you up and spit you out, but who wants to play easy courses every week?? 8 of us played and the course was in lovely condition given the summer we’ve had. Greens were quick, fairways were back to lush and trees just as frustrating. Bondhay punishes wayward shots with tree lined fairways and great bunkering. If you creep into the trees then you have to take your medicine and chip out in whatever direction works best, which in some cases can be another fairway. Try a worldly shot through a perceived gap and you may find your ball ricocheting around into deeper problems. I always chuckle when I see bad reviews of this course as it’s absolutely certain the course has destroyed them and the review is their way of getting back. The guys in the pro shop are always welcoming and chatty, the food is excellent and the practice facilities are good. Oh and the random table and chair off the 9th is actually a sad reminder of where the halfway house used to be, not some sort of junk yard. So if you think you are a good golfer give this course a try and if you score over 30 stableford points off a genuine handicap break out the champagne, you have done well. We will be back, because we love it and because we hate it at the same time!

Course in excellent condition and a real challenge

First time on bondhey wasn't impressed.

The first 4 greens were in shocking condition coming off the 9th there's an old table and chsir just sat there .

On course directions are next to useless didn't have a clue were to go on most of the holes .

The staff were friendly and helpful

The fairways were well maintained and the course wasn't littered

Great course layout and greens in excellent condition. Good value .

Warm welcome in the clubhouse..
