Broome Park Golf Club

Played during late December. Greens were running well considering this period, over the round we accumulated a lot of mud on golf shoes. Fairways could have been in better condition. Playing this course for the second time, liking the layout of the course. Bunkers has a good amount of sand in them. Course was fairly empty.

Could be one of the worst maintained course in the winter you can play!

The course was in a reasonable condition after all the rain but I found that the tea boxes could’ve been a little bit more tidy. Fairways were good bunkers condition could have been better greens very slow could need some work but in general I enjoyed playing the golf course especially the back back

I Really like Broome park

Challenging but fair although I really struggle with where to hit the second shot on 3. Massive left to right camber so there’s a lot of roll

Nice old mansion main house with the peacock bar for a post round drink

The whole course just needs a bit of love. It has potential to be a great course, but the greens are desperate for some work, none of them run true, the grass is patchy at best and all of the holes were so old that grass had grown over the edges.

Some of the bunkers have nearly been taken over by grass, the first hole especially, one of the greenside bunkers is about half the size that it once was.

The tee boxes were patchy and uneven.

The layout of the course is interesting, it’s just not in good enough condition. I know this summer has been dry, but this is clearly down to a lack of maintenance.

There aren’t really any facilities to speak of. No changing rooms, the pro shop is complete bare bones as is the halfway hut.

The golf course has not been looked after properly!

Poor tee off boxes, poor fairways, deceased greens.

Tee boxes in poor condition. Fairways in poor condition. Half of the greens are ok, a lot of the time you’re putting over sand or mud. Would not rush to play again under the current conditions. Could be such a nice course with a little care put in to it.

Tee boxes were in tatters, very very poor for the most part.

Greens were patchy, hairline cracks and holes all over and majority dirt and sand.

Could be an amazing course despite this but glad I didn’t have to pay full whack. Some lovely holes but when there’s no guarantee what your putt or tee shot is going to do it’s not really that fun.

If you intend on taking tee shots off the deck, bring a slab of turf with you enjoy breaking your wrists.

Friendly staff, The first tee is secluded without having the dreaded first tee nerves from clubhouse onlookers

The course is well looked after and signage to each tee is very well thought out

We all know how easy it is to get lost playing a course for the first time

All in all had a great day

Too many courses are so expensive and disappointing. This is not, great course, great value, very friendly staff in the half way hut which actually doubled as the booking desk as pro shop was closed. Some great holes, 18th is spectacular. A couple if greens still in need of some attention but overall recommended

To many golfers jumping holes on course I had 2 sets of golfers come from nowhere and jumped in front of me slowly my game down the Experience wasn’t very enjoyable and I had a couple of people just jumping behind me. I felt like I was under pressure all the way round the golf course when when I started there was no one on the court at all

The tees were bare as we're the greens. Fairways were only cut on about 9 holes. When you putted it was like driving on our roads, bumps and holes everywhere. You needed prefer lies on the greens. Playing from the fairways was like Playing out of semi rough the whole time. This was the weekend where the course should be ready for play? Every bunker was different, some with shallow sand some were worse. This course is vastly overpriced for the condition of it. We won't be back for a few years but only if it has improved.

The greens were in such terrible condition as to be virtually unplayable. Bare, tree roots and cracks and the alternative hole positions were not filled correctly. Fairways were not much better. Extremely disappointing

Greens are being worked obviously but should probably be marked GUR as had to putt through several parts not in a typical condition of a normal green, some of the rough I think on the front nine should be cut shorter especiallyon the third where the slope just runs down no matter where you land & its blind as well ( saw a number of golfers including ourselves all looking for their golf ball.

Generally course in better condition to when I played last

I arrived to play Broome park golf course today, straight away the problems started, they now longer have a pro shop open it’s being renovated into something?

I had to walk to the half way shed to check in.

The practice green was in terrible condition.

The first tee box wasn’t any better, the condition of the tee box was uneven and full of divots.

The greens all had some sort of rotten grass on them, some off the greens also had tree roots growing through them, there was more cracks on the green than a cricket crease.

It’s looks like this course has got a lot of potential to be a great venue, however I was speaking to a member who informed me that the green keeper team consists of only two people, how can you run a golf course with two people it’s impossible.

All the money is being invested into the hotel which is running the course into the ground which is a real shame as the surroundings are beautiful.

I didnt not enjoy my around at all and I will not be back to this course again due to the comments I have spoken about, truly a disappointment Broome park you need to listen to your members or you will loose them and the paying public that are travelling to stay in your hotel and play golf.
