Grange Park Golf Club

Better each time I come back. They’re taking far better care of the course. It had fallen into disrepair but has the potential to be a really good course. Boggy still in a few parts but generally fine most of the way around but not a surprise this time of the year. Isn’t cheap but is getting towards being worth it.

Not the best time of year to judge a course. However, since the new investors came in a lot of hard work has been carried out and it’s an ongoing process.

For me, Grange Park was always a bit of a treat, having first played the track when I was at school.

About 18 months ago, I took a walk across the course, because I saw the reviews on here. And in my opinion, I felt that most of those negative reviews were justified.

It was a crying shame, to see how the place had deteriorated.

Credit to those, who are turning this place around, let’s hope that before long, it’s restored to at least as great as what it was, not so long ago.

You can see the changes taking place, and we all just have to be patient and trust that this is going to carry on getting better and better.

I have just rejoined as a member, and I don’t spend my money on any old rubbish, so I think that speaks volumes, in respect of how I think this is all going to pan out in the not too distant future, if things continue to go in the direction that they have done in the past few months.

So at this time of the year, it is bound to be a tad more moist underfoot. Most places around here are going to be the same.

I would say, give it a whirl, maybe when there has been three or four days without significant rainfall for a fairer picture.

There has been a vast improvement in the state of the greens, yep the bunkers will have to be sorted, but that’s probably stating the chuffing obvious.

Please bear in mind it’s work in progress, get yourselves up there, and if you put everything into its true context, then you shouldn’t be disappointed!

Thanks for your hard work so far as you endeavour to restore Grange Park to at least its former glory.

Booked this round at relatively short notice and was concerned given the reviews from around 5-12 months ago. But, the more recent reviews were much more positive.

It's clear the club has gone through some troubles over the past few years, but things clearly seem to be improving.

The fairways were cut to a respectable length, and the rough was thick but manageable. Some of the greens could have been better - with a few looking like they're recovering from vehicle damage - with a few with really poor drainage.

Overall, we really enjoyed the round. It's great course for beginners and your 'average' golfer. I'll definitely be coming back when the weather improves.

Played this course for the first time and was apprehensive after reading the reviews but we were pleasantly surprised. The layout is fantastic, one of the best in the surrounding area. The condition was fer better than expected and especially for this time of year. Greenskeepers are doing an excellent job. Staff in the clubhouse were super friendly and welcoming with all the facilities you need. We play in and around Sheffield and will be back in better weather to play again. The Pete Cowen driving range is also 30 seconds away so that gives another option to warm up before playing. Would recommend this course to anyone. Keep up the good work.

First time I’ve played here for over 20 years and forgot how good the course layout is. It was nice to play off grass tees and the greens were superb considering the time of year. The fairways were very wet though and could definitely do with slitting to clear some of the saturated top soil. The bunkers were generally out of play due to disrepair or out of action. Ive heard that the club is under new stewardship and these issues will be dealt with. I’m a member of a Sheffield club but am definitely going back to play it in the summer. Was rather feeling the worst having read some reviews but really enjoyed playing it considering the time of year.

My second review in 10 weeks. And what a change ! Greens are fantastic, fairways cut nice as well as tee boxes. A new warm up net, the start of getting the putting green back. Rakes in bunkers. Mole control ! Great to see.

Please continue the upgrades.

My only grumble is the price. £35 is too much at the minute. Drop the price and get people playing it.

Nothing wrong with the course, could be better kept but was a winter game so understandable

Would’ve given. A 3.5 if I could.

Course is definitely better looked after than it was, especially considering I last played here in summer last year compared to now(autumn) it is better now. It’s hopefully on an upward turn as it was pretty unmaintained when I played last year but has potential as there are some interesting and challenging holes.

Warm up area - Nets/putting green are better than they were but not fantastic.

Price isn’t great especially compared to what you can get for cheaper nearby.

Pace of place - annoying. I was solo and 3 ball in front would rather rush themselves than let me through. Also some members behind me were up my a r s e for the first few holes on the tee despite clearly being held up in front.

Potential to be a good course if it continues. Apparently have a new head green keeper.

The new investment that was badly needed, and promised over 7 months ago,is now finally starting to make a difference,You won't be looking for your ball after every shot,the fairways are like they once use to be and the rough is cut to a reasonable length.Still a lot to do re the bunkers,.The greens are progressing nicely.I really hope they get it back to how it use to be,as in my opinion this course is the best layout and challenge in south yorkshire

Previous visit was 12 months, but thought I’d see if any improvements. It’s apparently been taken over and has new greens keepers. Lots of reviews mention long rough, you’ll struggle to find your ball if you land off the fairway on a number of holes. Bunkers are terrible, even after an alleged bunker restoration project. Greens are very average . Lots of promised improvements to the club overall haven’t materialised. Not worth £25.

It's not my nearest course but it's the course I play most often. I like the layout of the course and that it isn't usually packed, with queues on the tees. The greens and bunkers aren't perfect and the rough is very long so take spare balls if you don't always hit the fairways. Staff are friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed which suits me and my golfing partner as we don't like stuffy rule ridden courses. Overall, I'd recommend Grange Park as suitable for new and intermediate golfers.

Our 4 ball played grange on Saturday and we really enjoyed it. The course is a little basic in places but some holes are really good overall it was enjoyable, perfect for our ability. Some damage to a green from vandals and a few others were mossy but overall not bad. the car park is decent size, no problems parking. Went and checked in and the receptionist was a great help. She was very polite and was very thorough. The best part of the day was we did not even see another group! No one chasing us behind, no one holding us up in front! It was a pleasure!

When we finished we stayed for a pint, before leaving. I wouldn’t have any doubts of playing here again

As an Ex member from years back I knew what to expect. But I was shocked to discover the decline in the course and disappointed that the pro shop had also gone !

Is it lacking investment ? Has it been recently taken over and work begun to making it as good as it once was ? (Hope so) the lack of people playing is concerning also. As it always used to packed !

I really hope it starts the get back to its former glory as it’d be a real shame to leave it in the state it’s become.

For the money there’s a lot better courses in the area some cheaper, the upkeep of course is terrible

Overall very good fairways are excellent,

Greens need a fair bit of work as very hard

Value for money

Lovely course always been very challenging but I think the way it’s currently managed will put off players who don’t want to lose balls and spoil their card!

Second time I've played here an second time I've been held up by members not wanting to let a single ball through. Had to skip from 4th to the 8th and then go back to the 4th as "it's not worth letting you through as there's people in front of us"

Course is looking worse for wear in parts. Not worth the £20 green fee. The putting green ses it all. (See photos)

"Pro shop" non existent. A couple of random items scattered around and a bowl of communal used tees.

For £10 this course would be fine but £20 no.
