Boothferry Golf Club

This has to be one of the worst looked after golf courses in the country , an absolute disgrace, to take even £1 for a green fee should be a crime of fraud or deception , I am gobsmacked how this course is allowed to be Operating and not shut down,

Course was in a state of dis-repair and there was a notice on the pro shop door stating course closed.

Shame really as used to be a good steady walk

Played this course last year when I first started playing, the fairways were playable, greens were awful. This time round greens have slighty improved, still awful. Fairways unplayable, piles of cut grass on fairway, lost so many balls paid for 18 left after 4. As this is my local course I’m hoping their is plans to improve this long term.

Unfortunately, whilst this could be a good course, it has been neglected. Fairways that look like rough, tee box's that haven't been cut. Greens that are horrendous, I didn't get to practice putting as it was pointless trying on the greens. The flags have all seen better days. It's a shame because it could be a nice course but it's not being maintained. I paid for 18 and only played 9 because of how bad it was.

Pace of play was fine only myself and one other out there, no staff to be seen, clubhouse and pro shop both shut.

Been a regular here for the past year or so and it’s always been a bit ropey however yesterday was the final straw. Travelled in (40mins) away to be met by a course that is starting to be reclaimed by nature. Mowers were broken so the grass in the fairways was up to a foot high in places, completely unplayable and to loose a perfectly good shot in the fairway is ridiculous. The owners need to invest the bare minimum at least and consistently maintain the course or close it because taking peoples money and time for an unplayable course is shocking. So much potential here but it’s got to a point where I won’t be returning anytime soon. Please cut the grass, get some new flags, sort the greens out and put some fresh sand in the bunkers…

I played this course today and, honestly, it was in the worst condition I’ve ever experienced on a golf course.

The fairways were excessively long and clearly unmaintained, which made it difficult to get any kind of consistent lie. What should have been the first cut of rough was completely out of control, easily a foot long in places, turning even slightly wayward shots into lost balls. It slowed play down massively and made the round more frustrating than enjoyable.

The greens were another major issue. They were extremely poor, unpredictable, and impossible to read properly, every putt felt like a complete lottery. It’s hard to take any satisfaction from your game when the putting surfaces are in that condition.

To make matters worse, the general upkeep of the course seemed neglected. Not a single flag was in good condition, most were torn, and one hole didn’t even have a flag attached to the pin at all. That pretty much summed up the overall experience.

It’s a real shame because every course has potential, but in its current state, this one is simply not up to a playable standard. I wouldn’t return unless there are significant improvements made.

I booked a round at Boothferry as usual via the app.

After driving 25 miles to play I was greeted by a deserted golf course, club house and Pro Shop

After walking round I found a small sheet of paper with “course closed” written on it There was no further explanation

I am very disappointed that Golf Now took my money and feel they should have known about the status of the course

Booked through golf now after phone call about course conditions. Arrived next day to play to find gates locked, contacted what I assume was the pro shop to be informed that the course is open access from driving range next door.

Walked across 11th fairway to get to club house (closed) headed to first tee and played our 4 ball. Fairways not cut and very wet, greens in very poor condition.

The course should have been closed, if the staff had been honest about the course when I enquired on Tuesday I would have booked alternate course. Very disapointed with Boothferry.

The course was in terrible condition.

Robotic mowers couldn't cope with the long wet grass and we saw several just sitting on the fairways not doing anything.

We saw 5 other people playing in the 5 hours we were there, that says it all.

Long grass on fairways, greens shocking, tee boxes shocking. All round horrendous conditions

This course is closer to a farmers field than it is a golf course, stay away

Firstly, the greens are a disgrace. You would usually clean your ball before a putt not afterwards. They should really put temporary greens in place. The ladies tee boxes are not maintained, bunkers are just depressions with weeds in the bottom and we managed to lose a ball on the fairway due to the amount of twigs and leaves. There's no-one running the clubhouse so no food or drinks. It's a shame as it could be a nice course.

I played this course on Saturday for the first time in a few years as I remembered it been a very good course, however weather it's changed hands or the owners just can't be bothered i don't know as the course in my opinion it practically unplayable!!! The tee boxes are like playing out of the rough, the fairways are the same and although there is a slight definition between fairways and rought it is only slight, I don't think they have a green keeper as there are just lots of robotic mowers dotted about the course, the greens are dead and cracked so there is no point in trying to putt, overall I would not play here again and would definitely not recommend it to anyone else.

Lovely course did the first 9 holes. Unfortunately there were a lot of leaves on the first few holes of the course which made it difficult to see the ball and due to weather conditions the ground was very dry and cracked at the green. However we did enjoy the length of the course and in these weather conditions it cannot be helped. Would recommend to others as there was a good variety of challenges and lively setting.

So sad to see the course is in terrible condition. The greens were horrific. Most unplayable. Fairways not much better. Waste of time and money.

This course looks as if it's just been abandoned and left for nature to reclaim.

The fairways are mostly indistinguishable, the tees (especially the ladies tees) aye mostly overgrown with weeds and long grass. The greens are mostly just brown parched earth with fissure almost wide enough to lose a ball!

The whole course is littered with autonomous mowers that seem to have given up the ghost, and just stopped mid fairway in some places... some time ago, looking at the state of the place.

Bunkers are mostly like concrete. Where they're not concrete like, they are just overgrown with weeds.

I'd booked and paid for 18 holes, but after the front nine, we gave it up as a bad job.

If there had been anyone still in the shop when we finished the front nine, I'd have demanded my money back, it was that bad! And I'd booked it as a Hot Deal through Golf Now.

Don't waste your time and money!

I get there is a shortage to water at present, but the fact most of the greens was littered with leaves and twigs was beyond what I was expecting, robot mowers all good but some kind of maintenance is needed when machinery malfunctions, and when leaving was wanting to purchase a drink but everything was locked up, first golf course that shuts before last players leave. Any accidents would result in fatality I would assume. Overall won’t be going back unless it’s taken pride of

I played this course some years ago when I lived nearby. The last 2 times I have been (this year) I found the course to be woefully neglected. Firstly there were no buggies available to hire - the reason being they had np fuel in them - really???? Yes we have had a dry spring and summer but the greens are in appalling condition - cracked and grassless - they resemble concrete drives rather than golf greens. The fairways are cut??? by automatic robo mowers and they don't work. The Tee Off areas are overgrown so it is like teeing off from the rough. Bunkers are in poor condition with lots of them having grass growing in them or the sand is rock solid. The club house isn't open for a drink after finishing a round - why? Overall I am sad to be leaving this review as it was bad earlier this year when I played but gave it another chance to see if the owners had done any work to start to turn the course around but they I'm afraid they haven't. Such a shame for a once beautiful course.

The fairways and tee boxes where excellent but unfortunately the majority of the greens where very poor some no grass and very badly cracked , ones with grass not cut properly to enable putting
