Enjoyable, Fun Course

Enjoyed my first round here. Very friendly welcome on arrival that made me feel they were pleased about my visit. The first couple of holes felt very tight. After that though the course opened up a bit to enable some decent driving opportunities. The greens were very slick and I was caught out a bit by one or two downhill putts that hadn't looked too obvious. Overall, a fun round and somewhere to look forward to going back to

Lovely challenge

As a higher handicap (34) player this was a good challenge. Some tight fairways really made me have to think about my course management. The course was in a lovely condition and the greens rolled lovely. First time playing Bulbury Woods and won’t be the last. The lady on reception was very helpful and nice. Overall a enjoyable experience.

Great afternoon out

Lovely sunny afternoon, course still wet in places from all of the rain. Some greens fairly soft but overall condition was good considering the weather we have had. Let’s put it this way all things considered the course was better than my golf !

Wet weather

Walked

Wet and windy

Didnt have high hopes when I saw people walking in after 6 holes, but the club pro said we were welcome to go out and try for a few holes and he would refund us if we came back, very generous!

We teed off and were lucky with the weather. We managed all 18 just in time and had the course to ourselves. Lots of short par 4s, and a couple of cracking par 5s make this a fair test for a mid handicapper like myself. Great value at £27 per round, will definitely go back.
