East Horton Golf Club - Parkland Course

Me and my friend played at East Horton and we were very disappointed to find out when we arrived that only 9 holes where open and the condition of the course was awful. Had we known this or if it was advertised on golfnow we would of booked somewhere else. I have attached some pictures of the ground. I would like a full refund and an explanation into why this wasn’t shown on the site. We paid for 18 holes and the lady on the desk did not even apologise.

Course was boggy 9 holes open and charged for 18 , it was busy played two holes and went home

I booked and paid for a round at East Horton vi Golf Now. Not half an hour after making the payment, the course called to inform me that they were going to be closed and Golf Now would be in contact with me. I have been waiting 2 days . No answers. Easy Horton just as useless as Golf Now. If they don’t refund me, I’ll just walk on and play.

Pure greed that will ruin the course letting people out in that

Friendly staff. Greens very well kept, long course. Very muddy at the moment, would recommend waiting to the spring if you cannot cope with winter conditions. We will be back in the spring.

Not long opened after second lockdown plus after heavy rain I was a little bit disappointed that most of the fairways were water logged. Most of the greens were in good condition but understandably some were slow due to the weather.
It’s the first time I’ve played here in the winter so I will give it another try as I really enjoy playing the course in the summer.

Due to the weather the course was wet, saturated in places and very boggy, lots of mud. This made walking and pushing your buggy around.

Half the course was under water. Drainage is terrible

Poor drainage. Absolutely ruined our clothing and equipment.
Standing water on greens etc. Wasn’t any fun at all!!!
Should be closed!!!!

The course in general held up well considering the substantial rainfall of the week/weekend but the condition of the greens made the course a real disappointment. They were in places devoid of any grass at all and due to that were so bumpy it would've been better to have tried to chip in.

If I had paid full price I would've been talking to the staff about getting a refund. Shame because as a course it's decent enough.

the course looks well managed. quite a few ditches located in landing areas, making you think before pulling your driver out. The greens were not great but had just been treated, so I can imagine they will be much improved in the weeks to come.
Overall I enjoyed my round and would most definitely play again!!

No a bad course, very slow play plus could do with maps of holes on score card not just on tee
So as to see all Hazard on the way

Ok course with hidden ditches everywhere. Worst problem were the greens. They were in terrible condition. Rivets of zigzagged marks scarred the green surfaces so badly that every putt bobbled ridiculously. Some of them looked like the old dry ski slopes they were so bad.

Greens have obviously been hollow tined a few weeks ago, but they haven’t been watered at all. They were awful, borderline unplayable to be honest. Impossible to putt on at least half of them due to ridges filled with sand. Quite a few of the tee boxes were in the same condition with bare patches. You can forgive fairways going patchy but greens and tee boxes this bad is just poor management. Reception staff are absolutely lovely though.

2 wknds in a row now the greens have been very poor. Like putting over a cattle grid at times.

The greens were in poor condition and were undergoing maintenance. With no temporary greens available, many of the lies around the greens and on them should of been ground under repair. Due to the greens being treated and not in good condition We felt as a group, the golf club should be providing reduced green fee rates at this time and making us aware of the state of the greens..

I appreciate that all golf courses need to be managed to provide a successful return to their best. Furthermore I understand that COVID may of restricted the upkeep on the golf course. However with the general state of the condition around and on the greens this did not warrant a full priced green fee.

I would not recommend any golfers to visit this golf course during this time.
