Boothferry Golf Club

A great price for 18 holes on a Sunday afternoon but the course needs so much work to make golfers want to come back and play again, the layout is fine and walking is easy as the topography is very flat but the course needs a lot of attention in particular the maintenance of the bunkers is possibly as bad as I’ve seen at a members club and the greens are so soft, bumpy and slow as to make it feel like your putting on fairways at times.

With some targeted investment at specific course improvements this could be an enjoyable round for most people and although limited in its design and relatively easy compared to other courses in the area you feel the course should be in better condition at this time of the year.

Currently this course is enjoyable and forgettable in equal measures but could and probably should offer the golfer more.

Greens good

Bunkers lack of sand

But course worth playing

Not my first time playing here, my brother and i played here back when course first opened after covid where we only managed 14 holes dues to the fading light and freezing conditions. However we really enjoyed what we had experienced and were keen to return in the summer. The course is essentially as flat as they come so easy enough to walk but this tree lined parkland course is nicely mature and really interesting to play. Like many other courses there are ditches and drains creating water hazards to look out for on fairways, bunkers were ok, some were not raked and both myself and brother took a turn in one of these unkept bunkers which was a shame. The greens were in good condition many with subtle slopes but were a slower than we are used to on our course where we are members(Sandburn Hall nr York). Some of the tees are shielded by trees which we really liked .We didnt use the facilities at the clubhouse but noticed plenty of members enjoying drinks outside when we teed off. The proshop is small but well stocked. I was greeted by a pleasant young lady who checked me in ready to play.

In summary, a really nice interesting course that i would highly recommend, we will be visiting again in the near future. Mark

Played before and enjoyable

Today though greens were very poor, needed cutting slowest I've played 7x 3 putts and I'm normally good. Couldn't get used to slowness.

Still enjoyable, layout good, can't get in much trouble of tees

Friendly staff, nice amenities.

Will go again hopefully better greens.

Very picturesque course nicely manicured. The bunkers didn’t hold much sand though, and the greens could have been rolled and cut shorter because they were slow.

That aside, a great day.

Good length course, greens only average, bunkers are best avoided due to Covid no rake policy. Pro is approachable. Some very slow member 4 balls but got waved through reluctantly. Overall I enjoyed the test.

If you are looking for a good afternoon’s golf at a really friendly club at a reasonable cost then look no further than Boothferry. We’ve been a few times and have never been disappointed

Driving range not open until 09:30 on Bank Holiday Monday, tee time booked for before then.

Putting green not cut.

Fairways not cut and daisies growing in them. Thicker than first cut at most local courses.

Greens patchy and not consistent pace.

Not even worth the £17 we paid and won’t be returning. Should have asked for a refund it was that poor, do not play.

Having read other reviews before booking was expecting better. The pro shop staff were friendly and helpful but the course was average at very best. The fairways had not been cut and the greens were quite poor, patchy and bobbly on some. Tee boxes were also not great. There are some nice holes to play and the layout is good. Overall, Not a course we will be rushing to play again

Our first time playing at Boothferry golf course and will definitely be back, everyone was very welcoming and helpful from the pro shop staff through to bar staff and the club members ,we enjoyed a coffee and bacon butty before tee of, really enjoyed the front 9 holes but unfortunately for us rain spoilt the back 9 ,will definitely return
