Crookhill Park Golf Club

I fancied a change of scenery from my local course and saw a bargain here- so assessed the course in summer compared to my last winter round- pleasantly surprised.

The tees were in good condition and of course due to the amount of rain this year should be. No practice putting green however, new grass and roped off.

There are many varied holes on this course set amongst the hills on the outskirts of Doncaster, take the 1st - downhill par 5 with a blind landing of your ball- hit towards the pole and find it when you walk, (despite a 3 ball setting off nearly 18 minutes before me they were still on the 1st Green, and after waiting for them to move along after there 2-3rd shot on the 2nd, I decided to move to the 4th- since they were not letting me play through- this was their game and their course- nice members not!).

So the 4th-7th holes are all parallel and consequently accurate -straight shots are required whilst playing these, I bet there are a few "fore" shots when it is busy lol.

Hole 8 is a long 200 yard par 3 with a McKenzie green- up hill approach- what a challenge to say the least!

9th downhill then back up hill is also a challenge.

10th back downhill with a dog leg-then onto their signature 11th, drive over a water ditch, dog leg right slight downhill then back uphill over a wall to the green- will take up many shots if you are not precise!

11th straightforward par 3 again with a slight McKenzie.

12th back to the same tee area as the 11th- slightly confusing 1st time you play - avoid the woods on the left and some trees on your approach.

13th an interesting Par 3- easy to lose your ball if you overshoot, miss the tree on the left and measure accurately-hey presto a par.

14th shorter par 4 but woods again on the left and a ditch far right- enjoyable, as is the 15th- then uphill to the 16th at the end of the course- interesting and do not overshoot=lost ball.

17th a long par 5, the bush on the right that used to catch every wayward ball has been removed- thanks, there is a long water-ditch running on this hole and I managed my first par.

Onto the return home 18th with out of bounds on the right and a water ditch around 200 yards from the tee-then back uphill.

Nearly all the greens were in great condition- no bobbles and fair pace- so well done on this-(have known them be quite bad- occasionally due to vandalism).

Given this experience I would not hesitate returning before Autumn

Cannot comment on the 19th- did not visit.

Great golf course played on a hot deal £13:99 per player excellent value, some tee boxes and green's need a bit of attention but other than that rest of course good, Not a course I like playing in wet and when trees start to loose there leaf's but you can't knock it on day's like we had

Very impressive course with a variety of challenges. However once you complete your round there is no incentive to use the club catering facilities. There is no advertising, signs or notices

offering food or drink to entice players into the club. This must result in loss of revenue.

The membership only offers 7 days. I only play weekdays and would definitely join if a 5 day

deal was available. Finally you cannot pay the annual membership fee upfront but have to

pay monthly by direct debit ! I am sure like myself many players would pay upfront rather than

direct debit.

Played this course on 5/6/23

Course is in a terrible condition.

Tee boxes bald or like playing off a school field

Greens in a unplayable condition with crack, chunks of grass missing or bald.

Trees all over grown.

Would not return.

Used to be a member here as closest course to where I live. Played Sunday for the first time since June 2021 and couldn’t believe how down hill the course had become. Tee boxes terrible, greens patchy and shocking, fairway’s terrible. Not worth visiting even on a cheap £15 deal,

Well designed course with quite a few blind holes .

Good value

Had to carry bag. ,course very boggy. Very tiring for old geezer.if informed pre round would not have bothered.

Now on Winter tees- November 2022. 2 Winter greens - the 11th was pants and worse than playing on the fairway- boy did the ball swerve on the long grass here- very poor.

The winter tees seem new compared to last time I played in Winter, so fair play on these.

Some of the fairways had sticky messy mud on them- not helped with the 2 showers we encountered. The greens were reasonable but not the winter ones!

Pace of play was good until catching up 3 mixed 4balls.

Would play again but only in Summer.

Because of the weather conditions being too bad to play we had to cancel.I don’t know how to claim a refund, can you help ?

It’s always nice right now Crookhill friendly staff courses in pretty good condition for time of year looks like it’s had lot of hard work done
