Great day spoiled by slow play

Lovely day out spoiled by slow play. It’s quite a short course and as a 2 ball I’d have expected 3.5 hours or so. However we were behind a seniors tournament of maybe 4 or so 4 balls and it was painful. All in all we were on the course just short of 5 hours.

Made worse by a Green keeper who insisted on preparing a Green on. A par 3 while we stood Green side waiting to play our second shots. This took him about 10 minutes.

It’s a shame because the course was lovely and the staff in the club house were first class.

Good course

Arrived at 7:30 tee off 8:10 no staff about club shop was closed so can’t really give review on that . Enjoyed the course . A bit hilly for me and greens weren’t very big like I’m used to at my local course and not as fast ,but really quite challenging without being too long . Love to play there again so I can play some holes a bit differently. Doesn’t require driver of every long hole but overall a pretty well kept course

Great course

Excellent course condition.

A good challenge both in terms of difficulty and on the legs as it was hilly in places so if you struggle with mobility id recommend a cart.

All in all a very pleasant round of golf.

Great course! Fantastic conditions

Great course, fantastic conditions, played 4 different courses in the same 10 days and this was by far in the best state. Considering it was only the 3rd dry day following terrible weather. 👌🏽

Garesfield to the rescue

Played here due to my own course being closed for recent rain.

Although a little squishy in places, overall the course was decent and at least fully open.

I enjoy playing here as it has some different and challenging holes and some fantastic scenery.

For the time of year and the the amount of rain we had in the past week the course has held you pretty well.

Enjoyable round even if the golf played was not great.

Garesfield

Only 16 holes open understandable due to frost. Lovely lay out some great holes. Wil love returning in the summer. Shame about golf now emailing me to say I had £25 discount voucher, but when inserting code wouldn’t accept it.

Great links course

It was our first time playing this course and we really enjoyed it, unfortunately two holes were closed due to drainage issues I believe which is the only reason for the mark down in the overall score. Other than that very scenic with some testing holes. The staff were very friendly and food was fantastic! We recommend the hot beef sandwich.

Winter greens

15 greens on winter greens and 2 holes closed so the round was poor. Frosty conditions were blamed but there wasn’t any frost???

Played this course several times and it’s one of my favourites but unfortunately not this time.

Buggy recommended

A challenging course with some tough sloping holes, a course that requires a buggy to help the not so fit golfers. Once you hit the 12th hole you’ll understand. The course itself was good with some tough holes and blind shots, in good condition even though we’d had a fair bit of rain but I’ve been before a few years ago and it was in better condition back then. Definitely worth what I’d payed for. My golf was rubbish that day (even though I eagled the 7th! My only good hole) so will be returning again to improve and enjoy my round.
