Brierley Forest Golf Club

Nice course with a combination of short and long holes. Overall the course is doing well in spite of the ongoing heatwave but the Greens have suffered badly.

Played in under 3 hours (as a 2 ball) with nobody else in sight. Well worth a visit for £11, you can't fault it.

Arrived at Brierley Forest Golf Club and was met with a friendly welcome at the bar and by the locals putting away their golf clubs. The saving grace was that it was a vey hot summers day. The pace of play was tediously slow all the way round culminating with 4 groups playing hole 11. We skipped holes 11 and 12 and played 13 through 18. Interestingly we had finished hole 18 when the 4 ball who appeared to be holding the field up on 11 had only just got to the 16th tee!!! The course had some pleasant and challenging holes though the course was in poor condition. Tee boxes required more attention and the greens had been lost; blotchy and patchy areas of soil. It could be a hidden gem with more green keeper attention...

Played Brierley Forest today, still using winter tees, this course is improving, but there is still too much rough. They are installing extra drainage. Good greens and bunkers

Well worth the journey nice interesting layout good mixture of holes..
