First Time Playing

pleasantly surprised

my first time visiting the course, The couse was really easy to get to although getting to the carpark is like running the gauntlet as you cross the 10th fairway and then run parallel with the 18th.

receotion staff really friendly and welcoming.

mens locker room and toilets well maimtained. The bar busy.

practice facilities, two nets which personally i avoid.

The practice putting green is in great condition however does not reflect what you get on the course.

The course was in great condition with evidence of course maintenance in progress and recent drainage works good to see.

The holes are not particularly long. i found i hit the driver only once, what it lacks in length it punishes with tight tree lined fairways that twist and turn.

The greens DO NOT expect to find a flat putt the greens are tough.

to sum it up excellent value for money and a good test of golf

Winter Recovery

A lot of rain has fallen over the winter months and as with most golf courses conditions have been difficult

With hopefully warmer weather coming the course will recover. Fairways are okay but need growth, the greens likewise. Majority of tees were temporary. Staff were helpful and with no rain during the round made a pleasant visit

Bulbury blues

Haven’t played here for 3 years. Course in great condition, a lot of work done on drainage which has paid off. Greens were very true and quick. Bunkers could do with more sand however it had rained heavily overnight.

Staff friendly and knowledgeable.

My only gripe was speed of play, had to walk off after 15 holes as speed of play was shocking.

Also we were nearly struck by balls twice with no shout and no apology after.

Course in excellent condition.

Played here twice in recent weeks and the course is in excellent condition. Fairways and greens really good. Some sloping greens make this course quite challenging. Would definitely visit again.

Excellent value for money course

Great value for money course as a visitor- very flat and easy walking - easily round in under 4 hours as a 4 ball

Greens had been toned and sanded so not as good as my previous round here but perfectly ok

Highlight of the day was my wife’s hole in one on the 10th !!

Will definitely return

Take your A+ game to Bulbury!

Card wreckers loom early with driving accuracy a must on the first two holes particularly and coming back again from the 14th. Watch out for the 16th where the tee shot requires your best efforts to get into position. Greens a little inconsistent due to recent work but all-in-all an enjoyable experience as always.
