Boothferry Golf Club

Challenging course, well looked after great for me as a beginner

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.

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.

Greens was burnt, bare patches on every hole, unplayable at times.

Played my first 18 holes here, good value for money, very friendly staff and plenty of tough obstacles to navigate around for a beginner golfer to get the feel for real golf

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.

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.

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.

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.

I've been playing this course for 15 years now and this is the worst I've ever seen it , I losr 2 balls on fairways as the grass is that long, the first and second cut is wild

Everywhere you looked people were searching for balls

The greens were bare and cracked nearly impossible to putt on

It's a shame really as this is one of my favourite courses , and I won't be playing it again until it changes hands

Fairways needed cutting. Greens were inconsistent and the rough was very rough. Take plenty of balls.

Overall course was very nice and we enjoyed our round. Excellent value for money. One negative being there was no first cut just off the fairway, meanIng you were frequently punished and searching for balls when you were only inches from the fairway. If this was addressed there would be no negatives.

Nice course to play with lots of little streams that criss cross around the course. The greens could do with a little attention but overall a lovely course.

Course was unplayable with the standing water and bog like conditions.

The tea boxes or winter tea boxes are dangerous with now slippy they were.

And the 3 ball in front were extremely slow and felt like it was purposeful towards the end. From hole one we were behind them right at the tea box and never let through.

9 holes played, such a shame as a day we were very much looking forward too

lovely flat golf course some hole are challenging great lay out nice club house & friendly staff i recommend this course ive played it twice will be playing again very soon

This was our second time. Everyone we met was very friendly. There was a shortage of trolleys. We could not use our own so we had to carry our trolley bags until the 10th when there were some available.

Course was slightly boggy in places with recent rain but the greens were excellent and the course was a good layout with longer par 4s that we are used to!

We will definitely come again (prepared) and would recommend. Thank you to the lovely members we met who were really welcoming to my wife, daughter and me.
