Semi rough problem

Fairways OK. Greens OK

Semi rough a disgrace fa too long, if your ball goes off the fairway it is lost

A waste of time playing the course

The course is a little out of the way but a Gem and always has space at a very reasonable price. The greens are recovering but a little slow, but we were advised of this by the professional, It is always an enjoyable experience. Played to handicap despite mossing a few putting opportunities.

Will try play again before mid Autumn.

Good potential but needs work

Course was in fairly poor condition, the greens are ok but the rough is thick and it is so easy to lose your ball when it's gone nowhere and add in there is so tons of grass clippings left in big patches. The lay out is good and for the money it's not that bad it's just a shame as it has got potential to be a lot better

A little disappointed

The greens were really bad and the bunkers were very compact. Patches missing from the greens. A temporary green that wasn’t well kept and was around 8ft in diameter.

If the course was looked after better I would highly recommend as it is set out well and is forgiving. However in its current condition I wouldn’t be going back

Course is recovering well

I'm happy to see the course is recovering well after having some major issues , the greens are still a little scarred on a few holes and one hole has a temporary green to allow the worst affected green to recover and rightfully so

But the fairways are now cut well , the course is challenging well bunkered with a Duke that winds around the course so it's a good test of where your golf game is at

Very well priced, fast paced course!

I see a load of reviews of this course on Google and negative ones about how the grass cuttings weren’t collected etc, we aren’t on the PGA tour and the course is 20 for an 18, fantastic value for money and the staff couldn’t be friendlier, club shop has a good variety of things to buy, good range of clubs balls etc, my first time here and it rained the night before and I was still happy with the way we was treated and the way I played! Big thumbs up from me 👍🏼👍🏼

Its like playing on the moon

Ive never actually been to the moon but from my experience on putting on the green here at Boothferry i would imagine the moon surface to be of a similar contrast. The surface is crusty and crumbly with cracks and craters .

I had to turn my electric trolley on to warp speed 7 as it ploughed its way through the semi rough due to poor maintenance.

I caught a squirrel burying his nuts on the third green ( i felt like doing the same thing with mine due to the terrible experience )

The pro in the shop was also the green keeper, the bar steward , the course marshal , the cleaner.

If your playing here bring your own rake for the bunkers ( and a tonne of sand )

My wife asked me if i was going there again next Saturday but i said i would rather go shopping with her to Primark !

The beer was cheap but FLAT

Wish I didn’t have to write this……

I have visited boothferry on a few occasions but after this week I feel like I must write this review. The greens are absolutely shocking, cracks everywhere with weird stuff growing all over them. If your ball isn’t on the fairway good luck finding it. The grass cuttings need removing as they hamper the the ball when it does land and you lose yardage. I felt like I had to write this because the course has lots of potential, it’s a good course with a decent degree of difficulty but I feel the owners/management are letting it do into disrepair. Something needs to change soon or I don’t think many will return. Currently, £20 a round doesn’t sound bad but i wouldn’t pay £10 to play it.

Shocking greens

Been to Boothferry a few times but not played there for a couple of years, I really couldn't believe the greens I know it's been dry for a month but they was shocking, hardly any grass just dry cracked mud, one green even had what looked like a tree root coming through, definitely won't use again.

Poor course but has potential

Arrived for an afternoon tee time, parked in car park easy enough and checked in at pro shop. Spent 5-10 min on the putting practice area which I found to be in OK condition.

Teeing off was no problem but a constant theme on the course was extremely long rough (so long than even with a good tee shot that's barely off the fairway you never find your ball) and the greens were in an awful condition. Most if not all were rock hard, brown, cracked and extremely patchy. Worst greens i've ever played on.

Every hole you played you had to spend time hunting for your ball in extremely deep rough and when you did find it you had a hard time getting it out. Even on holes where it had been cut, there were cuttings everywhere which again made for a poor experience. Saw many people in the same situation and spoke to quite a few on the course who all had the same comments to share about the poor conditions all round.

Shame really as this course has some extremely interesting holes which would be a fun challenge should the conditions be improved.

Boothferry

Arrived at the golf course on a warm sunny Sunday afternoon and there was a few cars in the car park, now I know why because the golf course is in very poor condition. Played it last year in the spring and it was very good and the course was in very good condition, but a year further on and it is now the complete opposite, The fairways were overgrown and there was grass cuttings left on most fairways to bury your ball even if you hit a good tee shot. The semi rough was overgrown on each fairway and it was virtually impossible to get your ball out of due to it being so thick. The greens were bone dry and very patchy with weirds growing and there were totally unplayable, the worst I have ever putted on. It is such a shame and very sad because the layout of the course is good and there is some cracking holes, but due to the poor state of the course I will not be returning soon. The course needs some serious investment and effort to get back into some playable condition. I hope the course does improve because it is very sad to see it’s poor state at the moment.

Decent Course

Fairways and greens were decent but there was so much grass cuttings everywhere it made finding your ball incredibly difficult even when you saw where it went.

Course in disrepair

Played this course a few times and this is the worse course I’ve played this year. The fairways where not cut and has soon as you come off the fairway your in the rough. Other parts of this course is in disrepair it’s a shame as I’ve never seen this course so bad. Did not enjoy the round at all will not be coming back unless the owners take more pride and do more course maintenance. This course is shocking save your money and go elsewhere.
