Good Course that is good for beginners/intermediate Golfers

I’m new to golf so I am not great at the sport yet but George Washington was a good course to go around.

The Course has built in challenges/difficulties that you’ll learn to overcome, such as Drives that require a controlled slice to be played optimally & Drives that can be fairly narrow so your shot needs to be straight to keep yourself on track for the par.

Only issue I’ve found is the Rough is far more than just Rough but not a massive issue & the Temporary Greens are as catered to as said Roughs

Still an enjoyable Course all in all, especially for the price too

Winters coming

Despite the weather changing, the course played really well. 2 winter greens are in play, one on the front nine and one on the back nine.

The fairways and greens are still in great condition. The staff in the shop are very friendly and helpful. The only negative I have was the driving range, really busy and had to wait for a booth.

Not a Championship course

The fact this is advertised as a Championship course is a joke.

The course is worth £10 a round max. Don't pay anymore or you are being ripped off!

Go and play a decent course in the area and save yourself the trip here.

Great Course and Great Staff

As soon as I arrived staff greeted me to let me know what was going on. Course was immaculate and no issues on their side. Only thing on the day was 2 golfers in a buggy somehow struggling to keep pace of play and let multiple groups past who were just walking. Apart from this great day of golf would definitely recommend.

Bargain! Best kept course I've played all summer

Lovely course, great price weather in area was terrible but shielded from wind. Course in great condition, summer droughts had no impact with luscious green grass throughout. Closest to a hole in 1 for me so far too!

George Washington

The course was in fantastic condition, fairways lush and greens all in peak condition. It’s an enjoyable course to walk and has some testing holes but is balanced with some holes that you can score well on. Highly recommended

Greens were fabulous & worth £22.50. Tee boxes were ‘well watered’. I’ll definitely return at the price on Golf Now

GW great course

A very well maintained course, friendly, knowledgeable attentive colleagues with a great shop and half way house. The course is longer than I’m used to and slightly unforgiving with the tree line. But well worth a round

Below standard of course for peak time of the year

Previous member and regular at the course.

Greens had not been cut and were sanded (no prior warning) so they were extremely slow.

Limited amount of sand in bunkers.

Half way house price of a pint of moretti - £.6.80 which is shocking even for a hotel ran course.

Pace of play - poor. Not let through by a senior gentleman who was 2 spaces infront of me (joined with single infront of me who was also not let through by him).

Pro shop is poor compared to previous years.

Overall, a very hotel based golf course. Not for actual golfers. Looking for green fees more than anything and sources of income.

Great course

I was member here about 25 years ago and only been back a few times since then. The course layout has always been one of the best parkland courses in the region however the course itself wasn't always in the best condition. That's clearly changed as it was superb when we played yesterday, the greens were in outstanding condition. Lovely clubhouse and pro shop as well as a half way house after the 9th. Driving range also has trackman as well. Would definitely recommend playing it and would return.
