Good Value for money
Course conditions and pace of play were good but not great. But for the price, you can't really complain!
Decent course
Very decent course with some challenging holes. Will definitely play again
Forgiving for developing player
A regular visit to this relatively flat, and open course. There are some exceptions with uphill par3, and longer holes round corners.
Rough is cut right back, not many balls lost and forgiving to those of us who need it.
Greens normally very respectable, had fertiliser pellets on this round, but didnt make an unacceptable difference.
An overall poor experience.
I paid for a 2-ball for a friend and I as a day out. We paid in advance and also reserved a golf cart as my friend has had some recent surgery.
The course was in a very erratic state. The fairways were bare, the tee boxes were sometimes just dirt. The greens were extremely inconsistent and the rough had been cut without having the litter collected so if you were slightly offline, your ball would be buried in a pile of hay.
I used my driving license to secure the golf cart, and mistakenly left it with the reception after the round was over. I called the golf club the next day to ask if they still had it and if they could return it to me as it was quite the drive to collect it. To my astonishment, the said they would but only for a fee. It took 8 days for them to return it, proving that this course cares not for their customers or any kind of positive reputation. The customer service throughout the experience and course conditions has made this a place I will never return to.
Insanely busy
Only played to 13 very busy most holes had 2 groups on each, course Marshall was really nice let us k ow the story beforehand but even though I’m not overly worried about being out there for 4 hours the pace of play had us looking at a six hour plus round. Also tee-boxes are pretty poor, fair enough there’s been very little rain but lots of the boxes had nearly no grass
Play it whilst you can.
Parkland is known for being not so good in the winter. But at this present time being July. It’s playing very very well. And there is potential to shoot a low score. I’m a 15 handicap. I shot +12 twice in a row.
Tee boxes are unplayable
I have been playing here for many years on both parkland and greenwood courses, however, this is the worst I have seen the course conditions in a long time. I know the weather has not helped, and, to give them some credit, the greens were very good, however, the tee boxes especially, were unplayable. I was told during my round that the green keepers have been prioritising the greens which is fine, but to completely neglect the tee boxes seems rather strange. Other courses in the area. seem to manage to maintain tees and greens so not sure what the reason is. I would certainly expect them to pay at least some attention to tees when charging £40 a round.
At other times of the year however, the course is always pretty good so would still recommend, just not in its current condition.
Still suffering from winter
Massive patches of ground with no grass, greens are still suffering from being spiked earlier this year and there are large parts of the greens that are bare.
Absolutely not worth the £40 they charge you which is probably why there is always plenty of slots available.
Great little course
Played here few times now and great little course. The layout is quite nice as a lot of tee shots are 180 200m shots. So didn't hit driver that much. The greens are in good nick now and the fairways are great!
Pretty Good All round
I play off 3hcp and had a good day/round here. the fairways are wide with tight greens but all in all pretty happy with the course overall and how it played. holes are laid out nice and some easier and shorter then others. greens are as you expect for a course like this. some holes requiring you to play a 180 or 200m shot off the tee which was kool and not just hitting driver every hole.
Cut the grass of the rough
Course was is good condition if you keep to the fairway but the rough granted its the rough for a reason but at this course it’s diabolical needs to be cut shorter so you have a chance to find any wayward shots
Very disappointing
This place only cares about your money - course in poor condition and looks completely uncared for - bins overflowing, tee boxes littered with broken tees, bunkers full of weeds and stones, Marshall only concerned with checking you have paid ignoring pace of play which was desperately slow. Just desperately bad on every level - ignore their website boasts - the reality is sadly very different. Won’t ever bother again
First game back in UK
I have been away abroad for a while so I was interested to see how I would perform at the Parkland course which is much tighter than I had been playing on recently. The course was in very good condition and the weather fair but breezy. I had to take care with my shot selection to avoid getting impeded by trees of the view to the green. I was not as accurate as I would have hoped.
The course itself was in good shape. However the greens had recently been conditioned, but will soon become perfectly fine as the spring progresses. This didn’t affect my final score as my accuracy off the tee was not good enough.
The staff at the pro shop were most helpful as usual and the the course was not crowded which added to my pleasure to be back.
I recommend anyone to check out this course and the other courses available here.
On arrival met with a cheerful reception with a professional customer approach, a great game of golf with friends greens a little tired, but for recent weather conditions can understand, they were above average compared to courses nearby, only negative was the slow play of individuals taking time to look for balls and Green putting time only found at the masters - a marshal may have rectified the slow pace of play, overall a great course and certainly return.
Slow play
Lovely course, would have put better rating except slow game due to 4 ball of teenagers in front holding up play and messing about
Fantastic
What a stark contrast to 6 weeks ago of boggy wet to now stunning greens, stunnign fairways beautiful weather and great courser pace. Loved it!
Drying out
Had a good solo round today off the normal ts no more winter mats which was nice. Some of the greens need a small amount of work but overall a good course very
Played the parkland course. Excellent in March
Great course overall
For March the greens were immaculate. The overall drainage is pretty good too so not too muddy
It was busy but it's to be expected
