Forest Pines Hotel & Golf Resort - Beeches Course

This is one of my favourite courses in the area, its about 35 minutes drive from Doncaster and at 25 pounds on a weekday in winter it is an absolute steal. The reason why I say this is because they blow away the leaves and moisture from the greens and have a great tee box management programme so you are not teeing off in amongst a load of divots. My favourite 18 is Forest and then Pines but you can meet waiting groups on the 10th tee which is annoying but worth the wait. For me this is a proper, grown up course and is a superb challenge for any level of golfer. The bunkers were in great condition, the greens although wet were true running and well looked after. This course has draw and fade holes, long and short holes and some great par 3 holes too. Get into the Pines part of the 18 and you experience the SI18 par 5 hole which is I think the hardest on the whole 18, followed by an SI2 par 3 of 170 yards over a lovely pond which is one of the easiest holes on the 18. Not sure who decided how the SIs were worked out. But anyway, a fantastic course that if you get to play when its being cared for is for me one of the best in this area and could easily command 50 quid in winter at weekends and 60 or 70 in summer, its that good.

Course was in good condition seeing how much rain we’ve had a little bit wet in places, but in all a good day out

Fantastic course in great nick, loads of character and challenges, well worth playing we will be back.

Not played here for over a year greens OK but fairways poor with mud patches were grass cut to short overall enjoyable will go again when summer here 🏌️

Course was brilliant, apart from the leaves. I accept that leaves fall off trees, but when you lose 4 balls myself and my friend 5, it’s not a laughing matter. The groundsmen blow the leaves off the fairway but then the wind blows them back. A suggestion for you is to blow them into something, back of a trailer perhaps? The ground staff said they only have a couple of blowers, maybe a bit of investment is needed, also maybe you need to cut back some of the trees ASAP

Course and weather was great, pity about the 4 ball in front not waving us through

First time playing this course. Held up very well in the extremely wet conditions, playing normal tees and greens. For the time of year, very good. The courses are busy, so playing as a two-ball was always going to be slow but 4 hours wasn’t too bad. My only drawback was many similar length holes, 400y par 4s and 460y par 5s meaning only using half my bats as a bit samey. Hope to play again in the Summer.

A fantastic afternoon playing golf with my son. The course was damp but otherwise in excellent condition for the 1st November

The course was in excellent condition, greens were putting at a decent pace considering the time of year, it's a hard course to play so be accurate of the tee,

The staff were excellent, couldn't do enough for you,.I'd recommend this to anyone.who wants an excellent course with challenging layout I'll be definitely back to play

Fantastic course and it was in great condition. Very tight off the tee and even if you hit what you think is a good shot it can creep off the fairway with a bad bounce. Greens were great but we did have to repair a fair few pitch marks. I wouldn’t hesitate to return.

When nearly every course in the area is closed by being waterlogged, this course stands head and shoulders above the competition for being fully open playable and dry. Even the bunkers are dry full of sand and in play, where other courses have bunkers that now double as water hazards.
