Good value

The course is very challenging and good value for money through the golf.now website ( formally tee times.com ) but fairways very tired and dry making it difficult to get good contact. I wouldn’t be too happy paying the full visitor green fee of £38 because of this but all in all a nice set up and lovely clubhouse too

Great round!

Played at 1028am and wasn’t disappointed with the course. The condition and layout of the course was fantastic! Although the society in front were a bit slow that did not effect the day and cannot be blamed on the club.

A great course for any intermediate golfer and a challenge that does not turn into a grind.

Well done Crane Valley Golf Club!

Great round with friends

First time at this course we enjoyed the game coursewas challenging but for my standard it was a true test would have liked more signage to the next tee lucky we had a member join us on our round other wise we would have struggled to find our way a round. Only disappointment was thee greens they had just been sanded for the summer quite hard to put on a spiked bumpy green

Will try again soon.

EXCELLENT VALUE FOR MONEY FROM TEEOFF TIMES

Had not played this course for a couple of years. Despite recent inclement weather the course was in remarkably good condition with only one temporary green (This was the only negative on the course as the temporary green was just plonked on the fairway with no attempt to define it?)

Otherwise an excellent experience especially the reduced teeoff time green fee!

Excellent all round course

I am only able to play occasionally so my golf game can be erratic. This course has some very long holes and is challenging for me and my partner on the day, who is much younger. The fairways are very wide and this means that we didn't have to spend time looking for balls in bushes, and giving an opportunity to recover after a wayward drive. The course was well cared for, beautiful greens and well kept fairways.

Add to that very pleasant and friendly staff and we will definitely be back soon

Great overall experience on the course and in the club house

Quite happy to come back here. Shame it’s not closer to home as I would have no hesitation taking membership. Course suits our play. Good food and drink in the club house at reasonable price.

Worth a Visit

Played several times as we have a playing partner who is a course.member ..... I really enjoy the course, in very good condition and some interesting holes with some strategically placed water hazards ..... Rough was little heavier than usual which I place down to the rain mixed with the sunshine recently. Greens in good order and interesting contours, pro shop, clubhouse and staff all very pleasant and friendly ..... Priced very reasonably and well worth a visit
