Erlestoke Golf Club

We played as a 4 ball of mixed abilities. The barman told us the course had not been looked after and was now under new ownership and the owner was investing in the course. The location is amazing and some of the holes the best we’ve ever played. The Par 3 7th down a steep incline with breathtaking views was amazing. The greens were very slow and there was a lot of cut grass and unkempt areas, bunkers that had been neglected but the greens fee was very reasonable and we would play again. Would love to see the course in tip top condition in a couple of years time as there is nothing like it. The 4 ball in front with 2 buggies were extremely slow and showed no interest in calling us through which slightly spoiled our round.

Staff are great and we felt very welcome. The course is challenging with its tree lined fairways and its also picturesque.

Bacon rolls were great and the pace was perfect.

We had a great deal on the price and would definitely come back.

If I had to pick a downside it would be that a couple of bunkers were not in play as they were not maintained but overall a great visit and experience.

overall this is a good 18 hole golf course which will test you in places

First time playing the course and I was sceptical of how it would be due to it having a bad reputation under previous management. The new management have certainly put some hard graft in over the last two years. They have a six year plan to turn the course around. I very much enjoyed the course as it’s quite technical in places good fairways and great greens. I will be back….probably again this week!

Got in a hot deal so only paid £18 but the normal rate was £35 and it was playing the winter course, which is 8 of the proper holes and then 1 additional hole that's been added to make 9 holes which you play twice.

The guy in the pro shop (very friendly) told me that the second time around is played from slightly different tee boxes but I never saw any and all but 1 tee box was off mats and most of them had seen better days.

From what I could see I would imagine it's great in summer, but not currently worth £35, but good for the hot deal prices.

Got a tee time for £14 per person, lovely course, very quiet but the back nine wasn’t open.

Conditions were fine for winter (it had been minus 4 over night) so no complaints.

It’s a very open, quiet short, course and some nice holes.

Definitely worth it for the price.

Only 9 holes playable but friendly welcome and a good test of golf with some interesting holes . Just think with the course only half open a standard winter rate of 25 pounds would reflect better value for money but will return in Spring to experience the full course.

Really good course, really nice layout, and in decent condition, only downside is it was pretty boggy, and the drainage isn't great, so probably not a great winter course, and wouldn't want to play here after a period of rain.

That said can't wait to come back and play in the spring/summer

Pros

• Friendly staff

• well designed course

•Fun to play

•Good greens

•Good facilities

•Great views

Cons

• A few winter tees/mats (which are understandable given the conditions, but always feel this be communicated before play and a maybe a slight reduction in price

•Very heavy/water logged in places, would be wary about playing here after a period of heavy rain

New management are doing wonderful things with this mature course. Fantastic greens and well kept fairways. This is worth a visit! Hole 7 is a beauty!!

Nice sunny day out at Erlestoke course, Not too busy and course almost empty around 5pm when we finished. Bit of a drive from Bristol & back, but on special hot rate, worth the trip.

Some steep walks through the woods between some holes with two challenging par 3s to overcome and a tougher longer back 9 to finish you off !!

I played in a 3 ball today at a golf course that I have very fond memories of spending most of my younger years here as a junior member. I most recently played the course a year ago not too long after a new change in ownership. The course was clearly in need of a lot of work and money being spent on it. We were all amazed at the quality and progression of the work that has been carried out, it is night and day to a year ago.

Greens were superb and fairways really looked after, absolutely brilliant to see easily the most picturesque golf course in Wiltshire being cared for and looked after as it should be. Very excited to see where this course is by next summer 👏👏

I played at Erlestoke over 10 years ago as a junior member and loved it. The course has such a unique layout compared to others in the area. When I heard that it had improved significantly after a few bad years, I wanted to check it out. I was so pleasantly surprised by the condition of the course. We played on a glorious Sunday afternoon. The fairways, rough and greens were as good as any. Id forgotten how incredible some of the holes are aside from the incredible 7th. As mentioned in other reviews, it’s still a bit rough around the edges, and the bunkers aren’t all in play, but overall it’s in great shape again which is amazing to see. So much so that I have been considering joining again!

Thoroughly enjoyable round. Tee boxes, fairways and greens all in very good condition. Bunkers, as per other reviews, look to be a 'work in progress'. Very quiet (Monday afternoon) so raced round - though did skip a couple of holes to avoid a 4-ball. Looks like a decent clubhouse, with balcony / terrace, albeit pro shop empty when I arrived. Would definitely play again, good value for money with some great views and a couple of deer, aka. bambie, for company

this course was super fun! I would suggest others to play this course.

Playing from the whites (back tees) gave some nice tight challenging tee shots. Course was unique and nice but greens where slow

Great course, tough but if you hit the fairways and greens plenty of birdie opportunities.

Staff extremely helpful and friendly, good selection of brverages
