Farleigh Golf Club - Blue Course

It helps a review when you play well on your birthday. We teed off at 10:40 (a two ball snuck on before us which was fine as we were 3 but a starter would have helped).

Conditions on arrival were bitterly cold (hard frost everywhere) and the first few green were a bit icy, but they thawed quickly in the sun and played amazingly well considering the time of year (Feb).

Food was great, helpful staff, and great value.

We only had the option to play off the seniors tee which was a drawback as it took some of the challenge out, but again consider it was a February round. I would rather play seniors tees than have a single temporary green.

The clubhouse is lovely as is all the staff especially the pro in the pro shop, he is excellent.

Unfortunately the course is average. The greens were in very good condition for this time of the year but the tee boxes were awful and the fairways were also pretty bad to the point we couldn’t work out if we were in the rough on some holes.

The worst thing though was that our tee time was put in behind a swindle. Our 2 ball took just over 5 hours! On the third hole of the green course (a nice short par 3) there was 4 groups waiting to tee off which is ridiculous. I would not normally put sole blame on the course but the fact they have three 9 hole courses means this shouldn’t happen. By the time we were walking to the 10th hole, the first few holes were completely clear. Better planning with the bookings and which 9’s to play would have helped.

Good value layout and worthwhile playing - some good drivable par fours as well !

The course is in superb condition. Especially those bunkers.

Perfect course and very challenging in the wind. Staff very friendly and so helpful

My first time playing here and was an absolute treat. The practice facilities were great, the course impeccable (particularly the greens) and it provided a good challenge with a beautiful backdrop. Staff all very friendly also.

Will definitely be back and recommending to friends

As an ex-member I was looking forward to introducing my friend to the Farleigh experience ...it was not a good one.When I booked in there was no knowledge of the booking through golf now..they managed to get us off and the first 9 holes were good ..but approaching the tenth tee there was a society with 3 groups still to tee off..so we tried going off the red course tee ...there was a club competition there so unable to tee off ..the pro shop answer was to wait and have something to eat while the tees cleared..we decided that we would have to play the same 9 again which we did ..very slow ..no marshal's out all visit ...very pricey at the bar for non members

Course in good condition, with a good variety of holes
