Decent front 9, issues with the back

On arrival there was nobody in the pro shop, had to wait for 5/10 mins before he turned up and didn’t even ask for booking details, just said “you can go on now if you want” fair enough but could have just been trying it on.

The front nine of the course is lovely, some good holes but a the 3rd tee is across the fairway on the 8th which isn’t best but manageable. The back nine has more issues, there are about 4 holes which are too close and ended up with people crossing over as you are taking your shot. Decent enough but could do with a bit more space to be honest

Dunscar golf club

Really enjoyed playing this course, was quite a challenge with the undulations on the fairways. Rewards good shots and punishes wayward ones with tree lined fairways. Greens where in really good condition and as good as any I have played on in the area. Over all I would recommend this course to any one

Fantastic greens

Was lucky to get on the course before the start of the club championship 2nd round on Sunday 7.30am. Really good course and I would join here if I didn't live an hour away! Greens were superb and very true. Will definitely come and play again

Pleasantly surprised

Really enjoyed my first outing at the course, especially the up and down challenges of so many holes. Course was in great condition and greens played really well.

As a first time player of the course i struggled the with the tightness of some of the holes and the criss cross nature to avoid getting into the path of other holes.

Will definitely be playing again.

Greens have improved loads.

Very well kept course. The greens have dried up much more than a few weeks back. When they were soaked. Obviously, no-ones fault that it hasn't stopped raining for a year!

Re visit

Came back here for a 2nd time due to having basically forgot everything about the course.

Can confirm the course is in very good condition, although playing very tricky due to the wind.

The day ended though on a very sour note due to damage to my car, unfortunately no one saw it, or even left a note to contact. Very heavy damage to the car one can only assume some farming machinery (can’t provide it). That being said the staff working at the time and the chairman were most helping trying to work out how,when it could happen so thank you mr chairman, sadly it’s going to be a very expensive fix for someone else lack of due care and attention.

Good facilities

Considering it's been raining for most of the time the course is in really good condition,wide fairways is a help for the limited players like myself. The value for such a good course is very good,£15 for a full round of golf can't be argued with. The 2 lads in the shop were friendly and helpful, will be going again this season, highly recommend

Rude members and staff

While playing and following the rules of the club, we accidentally tee’d off on a hole that was shut (the pro was not around before our tee time, there were no signs), most members were friendly and explained that some holes were shut for the day (not a problem).

Upon walking to the next hole, a 3 ball group had jumped ahead of us and tee’d off. This was perfect, as the 3 ball was far better than us and we was holding them up.

2 members then arrived - they started berating us for allowing a 3 ball go ahead and stated on more than one occasion that as non members we shouldn’t be allowed to play notwithstanding the fact we have paid.

The members would not let us explained, made us extremely uncomfortable and continued to have a go, so much so that my friend and I stopped playing and finished.

Most members were disgusted by the actions of fellow members but sadly this is were it stopped. The pro was unsympathetic at best, advising that there is nothing he can do about it, we should have spoken to him regarding the holes that were shut if this is the problem (again i explained that is not the problem) and advised that i should have taken a photo of the members.

The pro also stated that we shouldn’t let them bother us and should have carried on - query if you would like to carry on playing after being told by members that as a non member you should not be playing.

Overall, a good course but the actions of some members and and the pro was out of order and u called for.

Non members beware.

Walked off after the first hole as there was no mention of the course being on temporary greens. Went to talk to the man in the pro shop about a refund and he just said message golf now and they will sort it for you. I think golf now should take responsibility and update there courses to let people know what kinda conditions the course is in
