Post Christmas Knock

Lovely course and playable amazingly after poor weather, but nearly all greens are now diseased and I fear for them come the summer, as a lot of work will be needed to fix the problems.

Lovely course in great condition.

Friendly staff and helpful. Winter trolley hired as the course requested for £5 which was fine but could've done with elastic straps and my bag kept falling off. The course supplied a Matt to put my ball on when on the fairways. The greens were in great condition and I enjoyed my round. I will play here again when it's a bit drier.

Disappointed again

I do really like this course and I take no pleasure in giving it a really bad review, we have played it twice this season, once at the beginning of summer in June. At that time it was a complete bog with extremely wet fairways and rough where you could not even find a ball if you missed the fairways. Moving on to this week at the end of the summer I was again truly disappointed, firstly the greens have just been holatined and left with gaping holes with no sand and not been rolled. I understand that this has to happen but apart from that the lack of course maintains left a lot to be desired, the tee boxes were a disgrace, long grass and bare patches all over and the fairways needed a long overdue cut. The rough was overrun with clover and you were lucky if you found your ball should you hit the odd errant shot. All in all it will be a long time until, if ever I will return to this course. Avoid at all cost

My first time playing Gathurst golf club

The members in the club house made me feel very welcome as did the members playing the course

A nice layout and ideal for a mid handicap player not long holes but done up hill with some tight lines if you hit the fairway your in business

Some lovey scenery too

Well worth the money and I’ll definitely be playing here again

Very Good Value for money

We played a 3 ball and all loved the course and the staff were amazing. The only reason that I did not give it 5 stars was that the greens had recently been cored and whilst they were certainly of a good standard, they were not as good as we were expecting given other reviews.

Fantastic day and we will be recommending the course to be put on our society list.
