Haigh Woodland Park - Balcarres Course

OK so it's an average course. Greens are poor but it's cheap and was quick for an after work knock

After 4 months of lockdown with no golf and after the winter you’d think the course would be healed. No. Off the fairways there was still tractor tracks that had dug up the ground during the wet summer months that was left over winter and has now hardened. It was like fox holes and bomb cremated, it resembled the Somme in some points. The greens were awful. There was pit holes all over the green, so the ball bobbled all over. In the first tee there was screaming kids running down from the play area near by with their uninterested mothers in tag. When we requested that she and her kids a be quiet and b don’t go in front of the tee when a player S about to take a shot she scoured at us. I’ll not play this course again. I’ve given it one star because I have to

Course was in good condition and will look forward to playing it again in the future

Greens were in very poor condition. On course signage was none existing

Good for this time of year but the greens need a lot of attention I like the variation from one hole to the next mostly wide driveways up hill and down hill. Every hole is different and aplesure to play. I will play this course a lot more.

For the time of year it played really well. Course is well drained with No boggy areas. The greens are a little patchy but will improve as the year progresses with more growth. Would definitely play the course again.

Played here plenty times and it’s in good nick , fairways / greens ,

It was great to play a round after month's of no golf. The course was in average condition but hey we've had a very wet winter. For the price this course is great value with some very testing holes.

New walkways were good, the adjacent ground not so, excavator tracks a foot deep on the fairway side not so, greenskeeper’s tractor tyre tracks across and down the fairways on numerous holes weren’t so good, still VERY wet, even boggy - strange considering it’s not rained for nearly a fortnight, fairways ok if damp underfoot, greens and tee boxes generally good for the time of year, pace of play a little slow but plenty on.

Course in decent condition today except the greens. If the standard of the greens improve then this will certainly make the course more appealing to players. All in all though I would say I was happy with the course today

A decent enough course. Still very wet even this late in the year. Wouldn’t like to see it in winter. Very hilly too. A tiring walk by the end. Nice layout to some holes. Generally a decent golf course. Exactly what you would expect for £15.

First time playing this but will never play it again in winter, it was so muddy , it felt like pigsty

Course should have been closed , was like playing in the trenches at the Somme. Had to Wade through 6 inches of mud at every hole, please close this course until spring.

The one great thing about days like today is you always get the option to play 3 holes and if you’re not satisfied you can claim a full refund or move your round to another date in the calendar. For a Municipal I feel this is one of the best around

Haig hall was teaming with people and family’s as it was an adventure park for a family day out . The course was very hilly and challenging however it added to the difficulty that the fairways stopped well before the greens and that your aplproach shots to the green were made on pure mud . Also the course had not seen a lawn mower in a long time

Greens are good. Everything else was poor,ball hard to find needd better drainage

Very wet especially the fairways, the greens were in very good shape considering the rain that had been put down.
