Not bad
Course itself is okay. Condition so so. Staff not so friendly
One of the best golf courses
Stunning course, quirky holes, ranging from drivable par 4s, beautiful par 3, fantastic views from high tee boxes, and a fun and challenging course. East Horton Greenwood course is one of my favourites in the area.
Challenging course
Played in completely baked out conditions the course was quite a challenge. Very up and down but some interesting holes. A bit of love (and yes some rain) and this would be an excellent venue.
A tough challenge in baked conditions
Having travelled from much further north I was surprised by how hard and dry the course was compared to any other I’ve played recently. Greens were decent, tee boxes were really suffering and fairways were also struggling. The course is very hilly and a tough challenge but in these conditions very difficult to find and hold fairways and greens. Not the green keepers fault of course but I get the feeling the overall standard is always a little below what would be expected for the price. Bunkers were not raked at all by anyone by the looks of it so perhaps the members are not that supportive of the green keeping staff.
Windy, but Good Little Course
First time playing here and the course is definitely wider and more forgiving then the Parkland course on the other side. Approach shots here are more difficult with pin placements and undulation on the greens. I personal think pin position is the only thing that was letting down the round for me. Fairways were great and even if you are in the tree lines, you still have a shot which is nice, and you will find it.
greenwood
all was good except the speed of the buggy , was extremely slow , we phoned the pro shop to see if they could replace and was told they had slowed them all down due to accidents which i understand but feel they were slowed down far too much as it struggles to get up the big hill
TLC Required
Played this course a lot over the year and it has matured nicely, however some work is required on the tee boxes, greens and bunkers.
Very few of the bunkers have sand and those that do it appears to be about 1-2cm deep. This doesn’t allow for proper bunker shots and actually lead to me jarring my wrist trying to play a shot.
I do enjoy playing the course and the bar on the 18th green is really good now and staff always friendly.
improving
still wet in places but improving all the time a few mats but most tees open greens quick on some holes
Course
Would not be happy paying 42 pound not worth it course was very wet in places and walking to tees on some holes were ridiculous.

Course has fallen into disrepair
Having played here last year a few times in the summer I was really looking forward to getting out for a game today.
What an absolute disappointment. Obviously the weather has been bad in the past months but their management of this has been terrible.
Fairways are no more than muddy slides, 50% of fairways should have been GUR. Like hitting off porridge, pathways between holes are muddy and in disrepair... very old temporary Tees covered in mud so old you can't put the tea in as it falls over.
Bunkers full to the brim with water, and it hadn't rained for 2 days. I actually lost a ball on a par 3 as the water so deep.
Greens were ok , but punched. Muddy around greens.
Saw green staff racing each other in their buggys.
Un sure f they were members , but had a four ball in front of me and they didn't let me play though , and they were awful , painfully slow.
It's really down to course management, they don't seem to care about the condition of the course. Putting better pathways in between holes , managing the course better in wet conditions.
Forget playing in winter
Great course in summer, but in winter it's a waterlogged mess. Course should have beeb closed.
One of the best courses I've played this winter
Despite weeks of rain the course played really well. Walked off clean, had a had a great time and all staff were super friendly too.
Would highly recommend.
Course conditions
Not a great time of year to play because of weather. Course was really muddy and should have sections blocked off which it wasn’t, some holes should be permanently shut off. Lots of damage being done let’s hope it doesn't ruin such a lovely course for the better months to come.
Lewis Review
Extremely slow play in front which was not managed. We abandoned our round early. No drainage on the fairways so very wet and muddy
