Enjoyable round of golf.

Course was just drying after winter. On mats and some winter greens. Nice clubhouse and staff. Will play again in summer.

Bargain hidden gem

Honeslty - for the price you just can't go wrong. Some challenging holes here - par 3s are a lot of fun! The course layout is a bit funky but once you know where you are honestly give this place a go; for the money it is a bargain.

Great little course

Really enjoyed the course. It was the first day of the new course layout which was a bit confusing but didn’t spoil anything. It’s been a very wet period so pleased to see all the course and greens open . We didn’t really see any staff as we were off very early but a member was very helpful

We had intended to eat there afterwards but again we were too early to sample any food

Overall though a great day out, very reasonably priced and we will certainly go again

Excellent hidden gem

A hidden gem. Don’t be fooled by the inauspicious start. No changing room for non members and no pro shop etc … but friendly staff serving food and drink. Then a bit of a walk over a bridge to the first tee. However, worth the wait when you get there. The course is fairly short but was in lovely condition, with well thought out dog legs and small cambered greens. Absolutely loved it .. and an absolute bargain of a price to play. Not busy and those who were on the course, were really friendly. Can’t recommend this enough for those who just want a nice round of golf. Will definitely go again.

A lot of work on going

Always enjoy playing here, everyone really friendly and welcoming, hardly anyone on the course and flew around the first 6 or 7 holes. Shared tee boxes become a little crowded but no worse than normal. The main frustration was the ongoing work on the fairways which are dug up and roped off on some holes..no prior warning when booking but hopefully once completed the course will get back to usual high standards, greens were good and everywhere else was good condion given the recent rain, will return when fairways are repaired fully. Thanks.

Don't be fooled by the low price

Really enjoy this course. Cost me 18 quid which is nothing and was worth every penny- few lakes around which is always a positive for me... I particularly enjoyed the par 3s. Enjoy

A bit rough & ready but nice enough

Really enjoyed the layout of those course even though you play a few holes twice.

Fairways aren’t amazing & cut grass is still there, greens were really nice so as per the title…a bit rough & ready but I’ve played far worse. Ill definitely play there again at some point

Tony Taylor

The course is nice but wasn't impressed with a couple of holes waiting to see who's turn to go could be dangerous if both tee off same time

Could cause arguments as nearly did with Our 3 ball and another 2

Was sorted eventually

I don't know if it could be made better hopefully it can

Good to be out of lockdown

Played on the first day of not being in lockdown after nearly 4 months of doing nothing! It was a great sunny day for the 30 mile trip to Drax.

The first 6 holes were good and quite challenging with a good pace.

However, this is a 2 hole course with different tees for the remainder of the course. It was slightly confusing and as a consequence you find yourself on the fairway, potentially with other players. Most of the people playing were nice and friendly, Unfortunately i encountered my first golf course spat with a trio of players who i was some 6 holes in front of and they questioned me- did I have a tee off time? where did I suddenly appear from- when they caught me up - after being on the same fairway- not hard with a slow 4 ball in front of me! - I let them pass and carefully followed them behind- not an enjoyable encounter and hopefully my first and last ever!

The course was challenging, it is hilly in places- which was also my first time experiencing this- only played < 10 times .

With the bottle neck do not think I will be back- good luck with running the course and thanks for the game

Layout doesn't work

There is a 5 min walk aside a busy road between car park and course.

First few holes are pleasant, later there 6 holes that have shared tee boxes and greens which makes for congestion and confusion amongst players.

Greens were not good when I played but should improve.

Lots of waste ground adjoining course and rubble across the course which isn't a desirable feature!

Overall enjoyed the visit and may play again, reasonable VFM.

Disappointed

After seeing course overview, reviews and looking to play the course for quite a while, I was expecting better. The greens were patchy, seemingly under remedial work, quite a bit of poor ground, including piles of rubble, tractor marks, again as though possible course improvement underway.

Maybe this is because of the time of year and the enforced course closure, I don't know and, we may try it again later in the year.

Friendly and Quirky

This is one of the friendliest courses we have ever visited, right from the guy in the car park clubhouse area, to the starter on the tee, to the green keepers .. all such nice helpful people. The course itself is quirky and interesting but has quite a few holes which you play twice which does cause some waiting. Having said that, they do block out tee times to alleviate some of that pain which is very sensible. There are some GUR areas which allow a free drop which could probably just be OOB as they make the holes concerned slightly easier. Overall a nice little course which is always a pleasure to play !
